Even though it would be lame for a lot of fighters, 'Big' George Foreman just seems to be a great nickname. It's simple like 'Irish' Micky Ward. Of course 'Real Deal' Holyfield and 'Iron' Mike Tyson are really good.

And Ronald and James like 'Winky' and 'Buster' just fine.

Lance 'Goofi' Whitaker is just terrible. Or is it Goofi Whitaker, formerly Lance? I know there was a time that Goofi was his legal name.

I'm not a big fan of John 'The Quiet Man' Ruiz, either.

Is 'El Terrible' (Erik Morales) a nickname that gets lost in translation? I never quite got that one...

Laila 'She Be Stingin' Ali is pretty weak too.

A nickname itself should be good, but it should fit the guy it accompanies, too.

You can't get much better than "the greatest".

I also like "sugar".

The funniest was Marvin hagler legally changing his name to "Marvelous".

You can't get much better than "the greatest".

I also like "sugar".

The funniest was Marvin hagler legally changing his name to "Marvelous".

LOL are you serious?

you have to enclude the Ding A Ling man

LOL are you serious?

Hey you can't make **** like that up. lol

yeah his name is oficially Marvelous Marvin Hagler, just flat out classic.

I always liked "The Real Deal" the best

"The Body Snatcher" Mike McCallum's nickname is about as wicked a nickname as you will ever see.

Among the best:
Donovan "Razor" Ruddick
Among the worst:
Hector "Does This Skirt Make Me Look Fat?" Camacho Jr.

I always like B Hop's "The Executioner" nickname...really mean.
Yeah, Donovan "Razor" Ruddock is cool.

I find MAB's nick "The Baby Faced Assasin" hmmm...gay LOL :D . It really doesn't fit the man's rep, I mean why not just "The Assasin!". LOL :D

the worst no doubt its gotta 4 the worst fighter john" the quitman" ruiz

You can't get much better than "the greatest".

I also like "sugar".

The funniest was Marvin hagler legally changing his name to "Marvelous".

Didnt he legally change it so they would announce it in the ring but there was so much discrimination they didnt actually announce it till he beat hearns?

Some of the worst are Ike "The president" Ibeabuchi

Andrew "powerful pole" Golota
"Rapid fire" Chris Byrd
Lennox "the lion" Lewis

Some of the better ones are

Arturo "thunder" Gatti
"Iron" Mike Tyson
Wlad "the steelhammer" Klitschko
James "lights out" Toney
"Real deal" Holyfield

The Bodysnatcher was a sinister name
Ike "Bazooka" Quartey flows well and is dope
James "Lights Out" Toney
Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker
El Terrible...sounds like you're about to get hit by a big ****in hurricane...which is usually the case.

I hate to break it to you,but the nickname Thunder sucks. It reminds me of the old Miami Heat player, "Thunder" Dan Majerle. As far as another nickname what sucks.....Tito. What's with that ****?

Or "Popo", wtf??

When Hearns was in his prime, "The Hitman" suited him perfectly.
"Smokin' Joe Frazier...fit him.

The worst ? Does anyone remember Andrew Maynard ?
His nickname was "Boxing" Andrew Maynard...& they did it just so it would spell out to "BAM".
"Boxing" ? Uh, no **** he was boxing !

When Hearns was in his prime, "The Hitman" suited him perfectly.

LOL :D that has to be the most uncreative nick I ahve ever heard.

Ryan "The Asian Sensation" Songalia was the best nickname of all time.

Worst:
Juan "El Pollo" Valenzuela
Nate "The Galaxxy Warrior" Campbell (This is the nickname a star trek geek would choose)
Jose "Mantequilla" Napoles


Best
"Sugar"
"Raging Bull"
"El Terrible"
"Baby Faced Assassain"

Boob Boom mancini

hello everyone, hava a nice day.

hello everyone, hava a nice day.

lmao. what the hell is up with this guy. lol

I think I would like to add one to the WORST category:

Syd "The Jewel" Vanderpool?

Bad

I'd like to suggets one though:

Verno Phillips doesn't have a nickname. How about Verno "The Inferno"?

my favorites are

The Executioner

El Terrible

El Matador

bad ones are

six heads

tito :D

The Quietman

Six Heads sucks as a nick except when you tell the story behind it.

The best nickname is definitely "SUGAR". I also like " The Golden Boy", "Marvelous", James "lights out" Toney and of course "IRON" Mike.

Ricardo Mayorga should change his El Matador to "El Toro"

...and how could I forget Bernard " The Executioner" Hopkins

Calvin Brock as "The Boxing Banker"

I like this one, it's original and easy to remember.

Worst: Owen "what the heck" Beck

Worst: Owen "what the heck" Beck

I think that shows his carefree, fun demeanor. Dude came out in the Barrett fight wearing a Got jesus? t-shirt and with the Sanford & Son theme song playing...

Maybe you don't have to be a menacing psychopath to be an effective heavyweight.

Come to think of it, though, he did lose that fight...

Worst: Owen "what the heck" Beck
Not even close.

Andre "The All Terrain Fighter" Ward is by far the worst ever.

haha, yea there are some awful ones, What the heck was the first one that came to mind though when i saw the thread title. I actually thought someone would have mentioned it before.

Not even close.

Andre "The All Terrain Fighter" Ward is by far the worst ever.

When Jimmy Lennon announced him as the winner of the Ashworth fight, he was Andre "SOG" Ward...

I didn't catch what that was supposed to stand for

I seriously think the absolute worst boxing name is "Irish"

I mean you never see black fighters named "African"

it's pointless/ignorant/lame to have irish as a nickname.


Best nickname of all time is:

Roberto "Hands of Stone" Duran

touch of sleep is also a pretty cool name.

I seriously think the absolute worst boxing name is "Irish"

it's pointless/ignorant/lame to have irish as a nickname.




i don't think it's all that bad of a name, the irish are brawlers, for a guy like micky ward, it works...the worst nick is Gerald " the jedi knight " nobles, the best, i'd say either mike " the bodysnatcher" mccallum or the dark destroyer nigel benn

Bobby "No Dice" Chacon
Mendogen "3k Battery" Singsurat
Juan "the Hispanic causing panic" Lazcano
Friday "the 13th" ahunanya
gerald "the body snatcher" mcClellan
Evander "the real deal" holyfield

are all cool in my opinion.

I remember an African fighter called Lucky Samber... That guy doesn't need a nick name... LOL!

Owen "what the heck" Beck is a good but a bad boxer

the best:i like hector 'Macho' Camacho now that a great nickname
the worst was: the quiet man

Mike McCallum, aka "The Body Snatcher"

"Iron" Mike Tyson

Hector "Does This Skirt Make Me Look Fat?" Camacho Jr.

What's "Six Heads" supposed to mean, anyway?

"The Quiet Man" sucks big time
" the real deal" sucks also
"thunder" is lame
"tito" wow?

"the executioner" is kewl
and of course, my favorite "Pacman"....... it just stands out and very nice to hear when Buffer announces it!

What's "Six Heads" supposed to mean, anyway?

When Lewis was an amature he knocked a kid out, and when the kid came-to and was asked if he was all right he looked at lewis and replied that it looked like he had '6 heads'. :eek: :D

The worst all time:

THE PINK CAT SCOTT WALKER

who wore pink trunks into the ring, it was disgusting

The worst all time:

"tito" wow?

"the executioner" is kewl

Manny p giving Bernard props.

Duran's is easily the best; Hands of Stone/Manos de Piedra.

El Terrible is pretty awesome.
Sugar only worked for Robinson, in my opinion.
Someone mentioned Raging Bull for Lamotta. I'm pretty sure it was actually Bronx Bull. Raging Bull came from the movie.

Juan "This Hispanic Causing Panic" Lazcano is da best!

I am sure someone said it, but I hate " The Latin Snake " or whatever that guys nickname is, its really lame.

Worst: "Wimpy" Halstead

"Pacman" is Ta best nickname.

Benny Leonard was known as The Ghetto Wizard, which I think is pretty badass. I mean, think about it;

Assclown: "Hey Benny you jew! Go back to the ghettoes where you came fr*BAM*......... ..... ... ."

I'm sure nobody messed with him.

Even though it would be lame for a lot of fighters, 'Big' George Foreman just seems to be a great nickname. It's simple like 'Irish' Micky Ward. Of course 'Real Deal' Holyfield and 'Iron' Mike Tyson are really good.

"Dr Steelhammer" and "Dr Ironfitst" both contain incompatible terms

Sam " the nigerian nightmare" peter
Manny " the destroyer " pacquiao
Gabriel "flash" elorde
Rocky "The brockton blockbuster" marciano
"Iron " mike tyson
Nigel "the ***** destroyer" benn
i hate:
*****nard "the sexy *****ioner" *****kins
Joe "schmo" ****-ze-gay

Sam " the nigerian nightmare" peter

He stole that nickname from Christian Okoye.

I always like:

Ray "BOOM BOOM" Mancini
Ike"Bazooka" Quartey
The Bodysnatcher
Lights out

The Best

"Lights Out" Toney
"The Excecutioner" Hopkins
"El Terrible" Morales

The Worst

"The President"Ibeabuchi (no idea how tha **** he got that name)
"La Vida Loca" Tapia
Diego "Pelucho" Morales (Erik's brother, I heard Pelucho means teddy bear LOL)

BAM was the name Andrew started using while in the U.S. Army. We called him "Bad Ass Mutha". Do a little more research before you start talking **** on somebody. Your Punk ass probably never put on a pair of gloves before. Later,Airborne87
Ft.Carson,Colorado Boxing Team1987-1989
:boxing:

When Hearns was in his prime, "The Hitman" suited him perfectly.
"Smokin' Joe Frazier...fit him.

"Boxing" ? Uh, no **** he was boxing !

i hate:
*****nard "the sexy *****ioner" *****kins

gay and dumb!!!

For your info "BAM" stands for "Bad Ass Mutha". We called him that when he was in the Army. I'd like to see your ass get in the ring with any boxer. Oh, maybe you're a cyberboxer.LOL Later,Airborne 87 Ft.Carson,Colo. Boxing Team 1987-1989 :boxing:


[COLOR=MediumTurquoise]LOL :D that has to be the most uncreative nick I ahve ever heard.

Best: The Atomic Bull Oliver McCall
Worst: The Boxing Banker Calvin Brock

Worst:
Juan "El Pollo" Valenzuela
Nate "The Galaxxy Warrior" Campbell (This is the nickname a star trek geek would choose)
Jose "Mantequilla" Napoles


Best
"Sugar"
"Raging Bull"
"El Terrible"
"Baby Faced Assassain"
Campbell's is after the gym he works out of "Galaxxy Gym" in florida, but the one i never really cared for was Botha's "white Buffalo" and I never like any nicknames with "Kid" or "Boy" in it, if I was a professional I wouldn't want to be refered as a kid or a boy, it's a mans sport. I'd pick a disturbing name if I could, something like " The Dis-Ease or The Guillotine "......

best nicknames:

Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins
"MArvelous" MArvin Hagler

I also like The troublemaker arce

Bad intentions is cool too....

Pretty boy shouldnt be a nickname for a boxer... its prolly for someone who works on a gay bar

I like "The Executioner" since Hopkins really does ruin many fighters.

Another one that I thought was good was Carl "The Truth" Williams. I thought he gave Holmes a good showing when they fought. Too bad his chin wasn't "The Truth" though.

I read in some boxing magazine a while ago that Freitas' nickname "Popo" is supposed to be the sound that a baby makes while being breat fed from his mother. :confused:

Best
Handz of Stone
Chico
The Truth

"dr.iron fist" thats hella weak,i like kelvin koncret davis,flows good..

There's a local fighter here that goes by the Tazmexican Devil. I like that. Dude's head barely sticks over the top of the ropes - I don't know how tall that is - maybe 5'5"? and he fights at lt. heavyweight...

Yeah i would agree the worst is Calvin "The Boxing Banker" Brock or Joe "The Italian Dragon" Calzaghe and my favorite would be Erik "El Terible" or O'neil "Give Em' Hell/ Supernova" Bell.

The Executioner is my favourite.

‘Bonecrusher’, ‘Hands of Stone’, ‘Italian Dragon’, ‘The Living Death’, ‘The Body Snatcher’ and of course ‘The Count of Monte Fisto’ (ok yeah he wasn’t a real fighter but that’s a cool ass nickname) are all up there to…

As for the worst, 'A Force'...

Even though it would be lame for a lot of fighters, 'Big' George Foreman just seems to be a great nickname. It's simple like 'Irish' Micky Ward. Of course 'Real Deal' Holyfield and 'Iron' Mike Tyson are really good.

And Ronald and James like 'Winky' and 'Buster' just fine.

Lance 'Goofi' Whitaker is just terrible. Or is it Goofi Whitaker, formerly Lance? I know there was a time that Goofi was his legal name.

Laila 'She Be Stingin' Ali is pretty weak too.

A nickname itself should be good, but it should fit the guy it accompanies, too.

Agree wit all that but my personal favs are Ike "Bazooka" Quartey and Tommy "The Hitman" Hearns! The American boy is quite weak too! It should be the fans and media that giv boxers there nicknames tho!

Anything "Sugar" sucks
"She be stingin" sucks

Ah, the ol' thread revival.

I always thought "Bonecrusher" Smith had the best nickname. Here is my top 10 list:

1. James "Bonecrusher" Smith
2. "Iron" Mike Tyson
3. "Marvelous" Marvin Haggler
4. Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini
5. Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns
6. John "The Beast" Mugabi
7. Roberto "Manos de Piedra" Duran (sounds better in Spanish)
8. "Smokin" Joe Frasier
9. Donovan "Razor" Ruddock
10. Mike "The Body Snatcher" McCallum

Honorable Mention: "Ferocious" Fernando Vargas, "Big" George Forman, James "Lights Out" Toney, Juan "The Hispanic Causing Panic" Lazcano, Ike "Bazooka" Quartey, "Terrible" Tim Witherspoon.

Worst 10:

1. Darnell "The Ding-a-Ling Man" Wilson
2. James "Buster" Douglas
3. Ronald "Winky" Wright
4. Jerry "Wimpy" Halstead
5. Jesse "The Boogieman" Ferguson
6. Calvin "The Boxing Banker" Brock
7. "The Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya
8. Lew "The Living Death" Jenkings
9. Nate "The Galaxxy Warrior" Campbell
10. John "The Quiet Man" Ruiz

There you have them, ladies and gents.

worst:
John " Quit man" Ruiz

Best: ( anything with some cool sound):

" Chop Chop" Corely, Rey 'Boom Boom' Baustista or 'Boom Boom' Macinia

and the best ever is the guy in jack rupphet avater :D

Kid " Bon Bon" Chocolate

How about this dude on FNF - Adam "Swamp Donkey" Richards

cool ones

The white buffalo

Razor

Iron mike

and BUTTERBEAN

Ben "Catweazle" Hudson

Lol I've always loved Shannon "The Cannon" Briggs. It's just so catchy!

Theres a chilean boxer called
Jose "Pato Lucas" Sanchez Pato Lucas = Daffy Duck. I dont know why but i like it a lot =P

Andrew "Kid Thunder" Hartley is horrible...and knowing the story behind that nick it makes it even worst, hahaha

"bad Intentions" i really dont like it

"Pacman" is awesome

"The Executioner" is great

The Leamington Licker.

the easton assassin - larry holmes, that's a good one

corey "the next generation " spinks is a corny nickname
james "lights out" toney and evander "the real deal" holyfield are my favorites.

These are some names that are pretty cool and not sure if they were mentioned and are in no particular order of what I like.

Wilfredo "El Radar / Bible of Boxing" Benitez
Wilfredo "Bazooka" Gomez
Roberto "Mano de Piedras" Duran
Azumah "The Professor" Nelson
Thomas "Hitman" Hearns
John "The Beast" Mugabi
"Terrible" Terry Norris
Iran "The Blade" Barkley

I seriously think the absolute worst boxing name is "Irish"

I mean you never see black fighters named "African"

it's pointless/ignorant/lame to have irish as a nickname...

heh, well you seem to forget a certain undefeated amateur fighter... Irish Terry Conklin who still to this day is the only boxer to ever knock out... James 'The Grim Reaper' Roper

"...but I'm not Irish."
"Don't worry, that just means your white."

Believe the Hype

THE SWAMP DONKEY

yeahhh hahaha who was that i just saw that ^

yeahhh hahaha who was that i just saw that ^

That Heavyweight redneck who fought first on FNF... He sweated like a swamp and hit like a donkey

I like b-hops the exucutioner and i also love
'smoking' joe frazier

I used to hate the nick name
'pretty boy' floyd but it's started to grow on me as it suits him as he's a vain prick.

Johnny " Johnny " Gonzalez..:confused: :confused: :confused:

tony "widowmaker" booth
harold "one man genocide" shipman

on a serious note "the beast from the east" is a pretty good one.

yeah thats hwo it was
yes he won soon as i saw that it reminded me of this thread lol
the swamp donkey hands down is the winner of the worst nickname in the history of boxing lol
yea i remeber teddy or someone sayin he sweats liek a swamp n hits liek a donkey lol i was diein

I don't know if this was mentioned but Darnell "the ding-a-ling man" Wilson has to be one of the worst ever.

I don't know if this was mentioned but Darnell "the ding-a-ling man" Wilson has to be one of the worst ever.

what do you mean? thats a classic.

btw for all yall Great White Hype fans: "Man, this is Dolomite. My inspiration tape!"

My favorites:

The executioner
Boom boom
The greatest
Hitman
Winky (catchy for him)
"No intentions" (It's a fan nickname but I love it anyway)
Iron
The real deal


Worst:
Neon (Wtf?)
The warrior (meh)

No one should use the name sugar but ROBINSON

I always thought "The Atomic Bull" was a pretty terrible nickname...

boxing banker is the worst. maybe not but still.

The Ghost is pretty good...

Favourites have to be:-

Thomas Hearns - Hit Man or Motor City Cobra (Both good)
Larry Holmes - Easton Assasin or Black Cloud (Again both are good)
Michael Nunn - Second To (Classic, couldn't have been anything else)

Worst

Marlon Starling - Magic man

I always hated Chris "simply the best" Eubank and he'd come into Tina Turners simply the best song....lame !!! considering he was no where the best made it worse.

a nickname has to fit in with the style of fighter and not just their name, if your nickname is hitman or dynamite but you dont carry any power then thats pointless.

It's good to have something thats about where your from too, like bronx bull or motor city cobra.

i'd like to see someone have something like "feather fists" or "glass jaw"...maybe even Floyd "the cunt" mayweather

Even though it would be lame for a lot of fighters, 'Big' George Foreman just seems to be a great nickname. It's simple like 'Irish' Micky Ward. Of course 'Real Deal' Holyfield and 'Iron' Mike Tyson are really good.

I think the best way to translate El Terrible would be:

"He who inspires Terror"

by the way

El Temible means:

"He who inspires fear"

I like those two


I think "Sugar Poo" Buchanan sucks...

Thanks for the translation. Something was lost in the translation for sure - calling a boxer 'terrible' doesn't seem like a compliment - ie Morales looked 'terrible' in the third fight with Pac...

just like ivan the terrible.

Brittle-ly Quitscko


lmao

Ding-a-ling man.

The Body Snatcher has to be one of the best, doesn't that just sound menacing.

I also like "The New" Ray Robinson, since he pretty much wouldn't have any other nickname.

MITCH "HOLD MY BEER" HICKS

Lol "The New Ray Robinson" wow.. That was so gay.. I remember that dude. Some skinny ass dude lol

The Body Snatcher has to be one of the best, doesn't that just sound menacing.

I also like "The New" Ray Robinson, since he pretty much wouldn't have any other nickname.

How about "Sweeter Than Sugar" Ray Robinson. Haha, wow, he would be the world's most hated fighter.

kid chocolate has got to be the best nickname (in my opinion)

worst nickname? ding-a-ling.

sweet pea is the worst nick i ever heard.

manos de piedra(hands of stones) is a good one.

sweet pea is the worst nick i ever heard.

manos de piedra(hands of stones) is a good one.agreed with that.

You can't get much better than "the greatest"That was not a nickname, it was Muhammad Ali's opinion of himself. Ali never really had a nickname, unless you count "The Louisville Lip" as he was dubbed while he was still Cassius Clay. Far from flattering, he was also called "Gaseous Cassius," both nicknames stemming from his propensity for braggadocio.

My absolute best is Luis Angel Firpo's "Wild Bull of the Pampas."

Other great nicknames:

Brown Bomber (Joe Louis)
Toy Bulldog (Mickey Walker)
Manassa Mauler (Jack Dempsey)
Brockton Blockbuster (Rocky Marciano)
Galveston Giant (Jack Johnson)Conspicuous by it's absence is popular favorite "Hands of Stone" which gets loss in translation from Manos de Piedra (spanish).

My absolute worst is Pernell Whitaker's "Sweet Pea" more suitable for a wimp.

Other worst nicknames:

Quiet Man (John Ruiz)Note: I'll add to the worse list later; gotta go to work now.

WHEN WHITAKER changed his name to goofi that was really strange!!!

WHEN WHITAKER changed his name to goofi that was really strange!!!
That wasn't his nickname eventually - he legally had it changed...

I have always liked "A Touch of Sleep".

My absolute best is Luis Angel Firpo's "Wild Bull of the Pampas."

Other great nicknames:

Brown Bomber (Joe Louis)
Toy Bulldog (Mickey Walker)
Manassa Mauler (Jack Dempsey)
Brockton Blockbuster (Rocky Marciano)
Galveston Giant (Jack Johnson)Conspicuous by it's absence is popular favorite "Hands of Stone" which gets loss in translation from Manos de Piedra (spanish).

My absolute worst is Pernell Whitaker's "Sweet Pea" more suitable for a wimp.

Other worst nicknames:

Quiet Man (John Ruiz)Note: I'll add to the worse list later; gotta go to work now.

Dude those nicknames suck.

How about "Sweeter Than Sugar" Ray Robinson. Haha, wow, he would be the world's most hated fighter.


lmao, he would have no choice but to either be the greatest fighter to ever live, or one of the most hated boxers on the earth.

Even though it would be lame for a lot of fighters, 'Big' George Foreman just seems to be a great nickname. It's simple like 'Irish' Micky Ward. Of course 'Real Deal' Holyfield and 'Iron' Mike Tyson are really good.

And Ronald and James like 'Winky' and 'Buster' just fine.

Lance 'Goofi' Whitaker is just terrible. Or is it Goofi Whitaker, formerly Lance? I know there was a time that Goofi was his legal name.

I'm not a big fan of John 'The Quiet Man' Ruiz, either.

Is 'El Terrible' (Erik Morales) a nickname that gets lost in translation? I never quite got that one...

Laila 'She Be Stingin' Ali is pretty weak too.

A nickname itself should be good, but it should fit the guy it accompanies, too.

hey bro how about the fighter on your avator......... WHEELS lol.
remember when the traveling business man tried to molest Wheels when he went hitchhiking and he put his hand on his thigh lol.

Archak "Shark Attack" Termaliksatian.

Thanks for the translation. Something was lost in the translation for sure - calling a boxer 'terrible' doesn't seem like a compliment - ie Morales looked 'terrible' in the third fight with Pac...

haha yeah, Its actually inspired in Ivan IV "The Terrible"

Wheels' mullet > you

Janiero "el pendejo" tejon,

Dude those nicknames suck.So does your opinion... :blowjob:

There's a local fighter named Franklin Lawrence whose nickname is Ya-Ya. It just sounds really cool when the announcer is shouting "Ya Ya!" between and after his name, and after he wins...
