Boxer

The Resume

    (October 18, 1958- )
    Born in Memphis, Tennessee
    Raised in Detroit
    Also known as the Motor City Cobra
    Professional career record:
    61 wins (48 by knockout), 5 losses, 1 draw
    Became the first ever Quadruple Champion in boxing - winning four world titles in four weight classes (October 1987)

Why he might be annoying:

    He shares a nickname with wrestler Bret Hart.
    Though he has a stellar career, he is best remembered for his 1981 loss to Sugar Ray Leonard and his 1985 loss to 'Marvelous' Marvin Hagler.
    Though many feel he won the 1989 rematch with Leonard (whom he floored in the 3rd and 11th rounds) the match was ruled a draw.
    During a 2000 match with Uriah Grant, he sprained his ankle, could not continue and the hometown crowd who cheered him earlier turned on him, throwing debris into the ring and calling him 'Quitman.'
    He has boxed at age 47, well past his prime.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He has an unbelievable amateur record of 155–8.
    He perfected a move known as the flicker jab, luring opponents into an exchange, then maximizing the speed and changing the angle of his jab.
    He won his first 32 pro bouts, 30 by knockout.
    His fight against Hagler is affectionately know as 'The War,' was named Fight of the Year in 1985 despite going just three rounds and was described by Ring magazine as 'the most electrifying 8 minutes ever.'
    He is a 7-time world boxing champion and has 13 areas of achievement in the sport where he was the first to accomplish said feats.
    Along with his mother (a Detroit area fight promoter) and other family members, he appeared on Family Feud against the family of pro boxer Milton 'Ice Man' McCrory and won.
