Boxer

The Resume

    (March 4, 1960- )
    Born in Kampala, Uganda
    Professional boxer
    Former light-middleweight champion
    Professional record of 42 wins, 7 losses, and 1 draw
    Remembered for his ability to throw a hard punch and inability to take one with all of his first 44 (out of 50) fights ending in a knockout of either him or his opponent

Why he might be annoying:

    He could not take a punch, six of his seven losses coming by ko, including being knocked out in the first round twice by very average punchers.
    He won the WBC light middle weight championship when the champion slipped and injured his ankle in the first round. He didn't give the champion a rematch and was knocked out in the first round of his first title defense. He was also knocked out in the first round of his only other shot at the light middle weight title.
    He had poor endurance.
    He was disliked by other fighters for his arrogance and rough, barely legal fighting style.
    Most of his wins, especially most of his spectacular knockouts, came against very limited competition.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His own punching power (39 of his 42 wins came by ko, 10 in the first round!) combined with his inability to take a punch made him one of the most consistently exciting fighters in boxing's history.
    His shot at Marvin Hagler's middleweight title was probably physically the toughest (for Hagler) of Hagler's title defenses.
    He grew up and made something of himself during Idi Amin's reign of terror.
    After retirement, he became a Christian pastor.
    As boxing nicknames, go 'The Beast' was pretty good one.
    He stayed out of trouble outside the ring during his career and saved his money so after he retired he didn't end up broke like a lot of fighters.
    He fought exactly 50 fights.
