Boxer

The Resume

    (June 29, 1972- )
    Canadian Olympian (1992)
    Top 10 ranked challenger
    Won thirty three of his first thirty five fights

Why he might be annoying:

    In a fight with WBA Heavyweight champion John Ruiz, where he was favored to take the title with 2-1 odds, he was disqualified for numerous low blows.
    His management has carefully crafted his career so that he rises to the top of the rankings without ever fighting boxers of any real credibility.
    His nickname is 'Bubba.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is widely regarded as the most talented heavyweight in the world, with unlimited physical assets.
    He is justifiably appealing his disqualification loss to John Ruiz, since all the judges live in Las Vegas (Ruiz's home), the referee was Latino (Ruiz's heritage), and they were all selected by Don King (Ruiz's promoter who doesn't represent Johnson).
    All his low blows were accidental, and forced by Ruiz, who would hold Johnson's head down and jump up to catch the punch and get a point deducted from Johnson.
    He studies tapes of his opponents before he fights.
