I was inspired by the other thread topic reading: "Best nicknames". Which ones suck, in your opinions.

I would say:

Larry "The Laser" Marks
Angel "Got Jesus" Manfredy
Ronald "Winky" Wright
Acelino "PoPo" Freitas
Shannon "The Cannon" Briggs
Manny "The Destroyer" Pacquiao
Joe "The Dragon" Calzaghe.

are as cheap as you can potentially get. I have little respect for any of these gentlemen as well.

Most nicknames for fighters are stupid,if I ever make it big as a fighter, I won't even have a nickname.

Vitali "Dr. Ironfist" Klitschko, it sounds cool but kinda dumb.

Vaughn "Shake and Bake" Bean. Thats just retarded.

Michael "No Joke" Stewart.

Gerald "The Jedi" Nobles.

There are a few others that I've forgotten, but these aren't very good.

BTW I am a fan of Tszyu and an Australian - but me and many of us *hate* the name 'Thunder from Downunder' - it is so corny! Grr! Whenever anyone is famous from Australia they immediately get that stupid name, it makes us cringe..

Ding-a-Ling man is pretty damn bad. That's who I came to post.

Tarvis "Brother of Travis" Sims is pretty damn lame.
Galaxy Warrior - Nate Campbell
Rodney Smooth Jones
Jeremy "Half Man Half Amazing" Williams
Owen "What the Heck" Beck (come on)

Ricardo "El Matador" Mayorga...sucks particularly for Mayorga because that's more of a technician's name.

Sweet Pea is lame, though Whitaker isn't.

04-09-2005, 09:23 PM
I'm just wonderin', why "El Terrible" for Morales. I'm sure it doesn't mean that he's terrible. It's probably some idiomatic expression in Spanish or something. Just curious, maybe someone can enlighten me.

All these nicknames are what make fighters unique, why don't we just say, no more nicknames allowed?

RwK
04-09-2005, 11:36 PM
what is "popo"?


The sound you make when sucking on a nipple


Hence the fact that Acelino freitas was breast feeding untill the age of 10.

I swear to god. That is exactly where the nickname came from.

If Vladdy Matyushenko was in boxing, "The Janitor" would have to be top 10 in the pantheon of bad nicks.

04-10-2005, 03:39 AM
did anyone mention the Ding a ling man?
or touch of sleep, although that would be a good name if he had any power

RwK
04-10-2005, 03:47 AM
"The Janitor"


LOL. That is so thug. If I were a boxer, my nickname would be "The Sweep", or "The Cleaner". Maybe "The Principal". Or maybe just "Tidy".

Eatit Amin
04-10-2005, 04:13 AM
lol

Probably safe to say that the Russian (Vladdy is Russian) is probably something more like "The Cleanser," some kinda Russian mob-related slang thang.

Eatit Amin
04-10-2005, 04:15 AM
It's damn funny that it ended up being translated to "The Janitor" in English, though. Can't you just see Vladdy's Russian advisors asking the genius that did the translating, their brows all knitted into furrows, "De Jahnitore? De Jahnitore? Zis means [insert Russian here]? Yes? Yes? Ze one who cleans ze blood??? YAH VONDERFOOOOOOL!!! YES, VEE ARE DA JAAAHNITOOOOOOOR!"
