Angott may not have been the most dynamic, exciting performer in his time, but he gets my total respect for that accomplishment alone. He was a tough, cagey, negative sort of fighter who you could pretty much classify as a spoiler, but what a spoiler he was!!

That's not mine nor Angott's fault. And it doesn't mean they're not any good. Lots of those names, though, I feel there's no excuse not to know.

Willie "Pep"? It sounds like a fokin' energy drink! Who cares about people like that? I don't need an excuse not to know them. No one needs to know about "Kid" Durango and Billie "The Kid" and Willie "Pep". It's pointless. A bunch of guys parading around with cowboy names that can't touch guys like Mayweather and Martinez these days.

I'm inclined to agree with you. There's just no holes in your argument. I concur.
