    I'm fascinated...and have been, by Sammy Angott...I know, maybe I should have my head checked out, and I know I sound like a guy who spends Friday nights straightening the knives and forks in the silverware drawer or something (remember, I'm the guy responsible for the infamous "Hugo Corro vs Sven Ottke" thread a while back... @Boxed Ears) ....but really, I think it's because Angott was the first guy to defeat Willie Pep...one of the least known of fights in boxing history IMO. Anyway, here's a very good article on Angott.

    Surprised that Willie never tried for that rematch.
