      My favorite was always Thomas "The Motor City Cobra" Hearns. Of course, his later nickname, "Hitman", wasn't bad either.

        There was a boxer who gelled his hair up in the shape of a fin and called himself 'the Land Shark'. There was another one who had an Elvis-style haircut and wore pink trunks and was called 'the Pink Panther'.

                  First name that came to mind. The dude packed a mean ass punch too.
