zab "super" judah brandon "bam bam" rios

The Motor City Cobra- Tommy Hearns I hate any nickname that uses another fighter name like "White Tyson" or "Little Tyson"

Cant beat Sweet Pea, or Kid Dynamite

i quite like "Dazzling Darren Barker", "the Tijuana Tornado" Rendall "the boxing binman" Munroe

Always liked O Neill "Give em hell" Bell

During the free undercard portion of the PPV yesterday there was a guy named Allen "Funky Cold" Medina. Classic! :lol1:

Donaovan "Razor" Ruddock Ike "Bazooka" Quartey Andrew "Six Heads" Lewis James "Bone Crusher" Smith Worst: Lance Whitaker when he change his name to Goofy Whitaker Sergio "The Latin Snake" Mora

Best Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini Friday"the 13th" Ahunaya Mike "the Body Snatcher" Mccallum Worst Owen"what the heck" Beck Ander "SOG" Ward "The Boston Tar Baby" Sam Langford

• jeff "left hook" lacy was pretty dope. • "lights out" is one of my faves • "brown bomber" is slick... and kinda racist. HAHA • "pretty boy" floyd... always amused me • "thunder" gatti... very fitting. • "smokin" joe frazier.... classic • "golden boy".... you guys CANT hate on that. • "Dr. Steelhammer" & "Dr. Ironfist".... matching names, nice.

Sugar Nikolai Valuev is a nice nickname, cause it's so off as it could possibly be.

Ferocious Fernando Vargas Changing nicknames, what's the deal? Pretty boy -> Money The destroyer -> Pacman

Breidis Prescott - Khanquerer

Up there with the worst must be Juan 'The Hispanic causing Panic' Lazcano. I would have hit the idiot who suggested that name to me! One of the best nicknames has got to be Carl 'The Truth' Williams' even thoughe couldn't live up to it. Both Tomm Hearns and Aaron Pryyor lived up to their nicknames though. I'm pretty sure that for at least one fight Lazcano changed it to "the chosen Juan" which I thought was much better lol And I always liked the sound of "the real deal Holyfield" Roberto "hands of stone" Durran "Smoking" Joe Frazier Worst has to be David "Tuaman" Tua Honorary mention goes to the "Italian Stallion"

Am I the only one who thinks that PacMan is actually pretty good. I quite like "Katsidis, The Great" and "David Hayemaker Haye". Now if you want bad nicknames, look no further than Snooker Players...

Sugar Ray Robinson Rubin The Hurricane Carter James Lights Out Toney Iron Mike Tyson Will'o' The Wisp Pep Jermain Bad Intentions Taylor Riddick Big Daddy Bowe Jimmy MIGHTY ATOM Wilde :boxing: Bad Chad Dawson Thomas The Hitman Hearns Vicious Victor Ortiz

The cheesiest and worst: Ruslan "White Tyson" Chagaev - First of all his style is nothing like Mike Tyson's. Secondly, why would joo want your knickname to be that of another boxer....

That's why he's the best coz he's second to none. Wonder how he's doin in prison. Effin' waste Nunn is. write him a letter i can almost guarantee that he will read it.

can't get better than #tyson fury" and he deserves a couple of bonus points for it being his real name. on a similar note, "marvelous" marvin hagler is pretty cool and again bonus points in order for having his name changed to that by deed poll!
