i know this is only one aspect of making it into the big leagues, but what boxers were known by first name? this can be taken either as a past or present tense. maybe its just me but sometimes i get the vibe of a more special hate or love when someone name a fighter by first name.
examples
manny
floyd
roy
canelo (sa-ool who?)
marcos
mike
Pernell
But honestly man some of these guys are just called by first names because nobody wants to say every syllable associated with they last name. I can say Devon but only because i don't give a damn about saying Alexander. I'm not being an ******* at all and i'm sorry if i'm taking away from the thread but I can name about 15 who ain't ****
