njtoddfan said:Alexei may have more World titles, and even an Olympic medal, but IIRC, Alexei has never been a national champ, which may not mean a lot to some, but I don't think being a 6 time National champion is something to ignore. Todd and Alexei are BOTH great champions and deserve to be treated as such.
Todd never competed against skaters like Plushenko and Abt for National titles either. He might have never made it out of Russian Nats with the kind of skaters that came out of there in that era.
