Robert Shannon was known as a big banger at 119 pounds, good with his gloves and handy enough with scissors that he did his teammates hair.
He still cuts hair in the Seattle area, but now is known more as the answer to a trivia question about the 1984 U.S. Olympic boxing team.
"The only one not to win a medal," he said. "That's how I'm remembered."
It wasn't totally Shannon's fault. He and South Korea's Moon Sung Kil engaged in one of the best brawls of the Los Angeles Games until Moon caught him with a series of punches that ended the fight in the third round.
