Great nicknames in boxing history

pacman, it's original Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android

The Raging Bull :boxing:

Michael "2nd to" Nunn... Yep, nothing beats that nickname...

I always liked "The Easton Assassin."

"The Italian Stallion" ftw

magic man malignaggi

I'm partial to "The Boston Tar Baby."

Swampdonkey and Ding-a-ling are some of the more funny

I'm actually quite the fan of Arturo "Thunder" Gatti

A top ten for the mix......all old school, all great/charismatic fighters. Georges 'The Orchid Man' Carpentier. Immaculately dressed with an orchid in his buttonhole. Very French. Tony 'The Man of Steel' Zale. Legendary tough guy, raised in a steel town. Randy Turpin 'The Leamington Licker' Homage to his hometown of Leamington Spa. Jimmy Wilde 'The Ghost with the Hammer in his Hand' Tiny, fragile, pale little man who appeared to hit people with a hammer. Jack 'The Whitechapel Windmill' Berg Also known as Kid due to Jewish heritage, but the Whitchapel connection hinted at his hard, tough Eastend upbringing. Luis Firpo 'The Wild Bull of the Pampas' Raging Argentine heavyweight, very emotive monicker. Jim 'The Boilermaker' Jeffries Summed-up his massive strength/power when iron was still bashed into shape. John 'Cowboy' McCormack - bizarrely, came from Scotland, not Texas! Yvon Durrelle 'The Fighting Fisherman' Very simple and effective, Yvon worked the trawlers. And my favourite, Tommy Burns 'The Little Giant of Hanover'. A powerful man packed into the frame of a tiny man.

Bernard "THE MURDERER" Hopkins

Mitch "Hold My Beer" Hicks
