When Toney fought McCallum back in the early 90's, it was a match-up of the 2 best nicknames of all time

Lights Out vs. The Body Snatcher

Here's another: the only guy who fought both JC Chavez, and Alexis Arguello:

"The Pink Cat" Scott Walker, who wore neon pink trunks, maybe the goofiest lookin' fighter ever

I agree completely. Lights Out just sounds dope and The Body Snatcher sounds about as sinister as you can get.

I dont think "the foul pole" is Golota's actualy nickname he comes into the ring with. But its the nickname most people know him by none the less.

I dont think all the low blow's he threw against Bowe were intentioonal but he is a dirty fighter no question, he headbutted Bowe in the 2nd fight, he bit Samson Pouha on the shoulder, and some of his low blows against Bowe were totally flagrant, but it was in response to Bowe's Flagrant fouling of hitting Golota behind the head. If you ever have boxed you have no idea how it feels to get whacked behind the head and Bowe was doing that to Golota all night. That fight was prison rules,(kinda like the Illini game tonight) Bowe had just as much reason to be DQ'd as Golota.
