Unused or Underused Boxing Nicknames

Yeah it was a short lived name for some reason. Mainly when he conquered morales and Barrera.

And Roger Mayweather (R.I.P) was the Mexican assassin. I believe there was another black fighter with that moniker as well but can't remember

Thanks for the info. Definitely giving this a like.

So were Paulie and Tarver off the top of my head.

True. Starling was first though. To ad a little salt, Paulie is one of the all time most overrated fighters and Tarver was a cheater.

How did Tarver cheat?

How did Tarver cheat?

- - At least two steroid busts as his career dwindled.

What queenie said.

I have derived one I think is as good as any of them--though Willie's list was spectacular-- but I am saving her for a boxing story.

I just remembered a video about Thomas Hearns where they called him the “Slim Reaper”. I know that isn’t a nickname that caught on with Hearns while he was still fighting, so maybe someone else can one day take that nickname. We all know doesn’t need that one when he’s got one iconic nickname and another decent one already.

- - Kid Reaper or Kid Death anyone?

Kid Blackie already taken.

Maybe Fundora.

Could go on, but discretion has already been violated well beyond the better part of valor.
