Why didn't Roy Jones have a nickname?

Maurice The Thin Man Blocker

Calzaghe never really had a nickname. For one fight only he tried to be 'The Terminator'. Jimmy Lennon Jr didn't sound very convinced.

Yep. Announcers made reference to that in his more aggressive fights where he went all out and really fucked up his opponent. 'RJ' was supposed to be Roy at his most furious. He never had that on his trunks or anything that I can recall. The only time he was ever "RJ" was him calling himself that when he beat Montell in the rematch

I thought it was "Roid Jones Jr" Its been done mate. Several times.

I thought it was "Roid Jones Jr"

That's how much of a bad ass he is. Roy Jones Jr >>>>>>>>>> The Welsh Dragon

i thought RJ is his alter ego/nickname. Yep. Announcers made reference to that in his more aggressive fights where he went all out and really fucked up his opponent. 'RJ' was supposed to be Roy at his most furious. He never had that on his trunks or anything that I can recall.

And Still.....

Also, I guess its kind of funny if u think about it... RJ is probably the only BIG TIME boxer who didnt have a nickname that everybody in the mainstream knew him as. Miguel Cotto and Cristian Mijares don't have nicknames that people know them by either.. I know there's a couple others out there but I always forget shit when I need to say it and when I don't I remember lol

RJ was his nickname, even tho he didn't get announced by that name. Not too fancy, just his fuckin initials. And who cares anyway?

Roy Jones Jr "Mr. Unstoppable"

When we were amateurs many people used to call him "Captain Hook" because of his very sharp left hook. And everybody in Pensacola, even people on the street, call him "Lil' Roy". Everybody knows his father as Big Roy... even to this day if i speak to someone from there they will say "Yeah, I saw Big Roy the other day..."

Roy Jones Jr.= His Royness..

He has a nickname ''Junior'' His birth certificate likely says Roy Jones Jr. Now if you are talking about former champion Junior Jones, that's another story.

Roid Jones Junior?

He didnt need one....qutie simply his nickname was......."And regarded as the best pound for pound fighter in the world" ROY JONES JR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wasnt he called the "His Royness"

Who the fuck gives a shit?
