Boxer

The Resume

    (August 10, 1949- )
    Born in San Luis, Mexico
    Retired professional boxer
    Welterweight champion of the world from 1976 to 1979
    Professional record: 31-4-3

Why he might be annoying:

    He lacked charisma in and out of the ring.
    He won the title from an unimpressive champion (John H. Stracey) and never beat an all time great in their prime.
    He became an actor after he retired.
    He launched a comeback almost twenty years after his initial retirement that predictably ended in defeat.
    That seventies hair and that porn star mustache.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He had great punching power, an iron chin, outstanding endurance and near perfect boxing skills.
    Because of his near flawless classic fighting style he was a favorite among knowledgeable boxing fans and a particular favorite on television.
    He was a clean and gentlemanly fighter.
    He retired with his brains intact and was intelligent enough to retire from his comeback when it didn't go well.
