eg Best- Roberto Duran 'Manos de Piedra'
Worst- Vitali Klitschko 'Dr Iron Fist'
Also gimme comedy changes such as James "light snack" Toney. Include ironic 'real deal' style names for fighters that went no-where.
PS this is just for laughs, not for hate of fighters.
I know it's a boxing forum, but the topic is ...fighter nicknames. As worst I'd have to rank Frank "Twinkle Toes" Trigg from the UFC. Twinkle Toes? Cmon.
Right now, The Hawain Punch - Brian Viloria comes to mind. The Real Deal wasn't bad either. But ultimately, Sugar is the best I think.

What do yall think of mine...Brian "The Quiet Storm" Ogletree
I'm not sure mate. It's a little esoteric maybe. I'd have to see you fight to decide. That tends to be the way a good nickname sticks or dissappears. I mean think of 'Thunder' Gatti, 'Sugar' Ray Robinson or Leonard. Even 'Pretty Boy' Floyd. These nicknames really attach themselves in the public consciousness due to the style and/or personal quirks of the fighter.
They can just be a little contrived. For examples see the above thread.
Good luck to you though.
Best:
Juan "Hispanic Causing Panic" Lazcano
Paul "The Yorkshire Hunter" Ingle
Friday "The 13th" Ahunanya
Worst:
Nate "The Galaxy Warrior" Campbell
Andre "All Terrain Fighter" Ward
WTF? No one gonna mention Juan Lazcano? "The hispanic causing panic".
That is by far the coolest nickname in boxing.
