what do you guys think? i like it, it flows great. It was ment to be sweet pete, turned into sweet pea when a reporter misheard. it stuck with him in his carrere.
What are your top 10 worst nicknames in all sports?
Dingaling is ridiculous. Sweet Pea makes sense.. It's almost like a play off of the moniker, of Sugar.. and then obviously his initial. Plus it's an obvious common saying. It fit well with his style.

The Original "Sweet Pea".
I don't like when boxers have the same nicknames.
Sugar Ray Robinson&Leonard was alright but there are like 20 Sugar's right now.
"Hitman" Hatton just doesn't suit Ricky, there's only one Hitman and that's Hearns.
There are two fighters who use "Magic Man" as a nickname, Tarver & Malignaggi.
That must be why he switched it to the Manchester Mexican.
Lance 'Goofi' Whitaker is pretty bad.
Whitaker didn't even want his nickname to be Sweet Pea, he wanted it to be Sweet Pete, there are a few stories as to how it was made Sweet Pea.
