I always disliked ''sweet pea''
Wikipedia says this :
As a youngster, Whitaker was known to friends and family as "Pete", and when he began to emerge as a top amateur, fans in his hometown of Norfolk used to serenade him with chants of "Sweet Pete." This was misinterpreted by a local sportswriter as "Sweet Pea", and when this erroneous report came out in the local newspaper, the new nickname stuck.
I dislike names like Dariusz ''tiger'' Michalkzewski too, thAT'S just so cliché
Hands of stone/ manos de pedra is one of the best
Michael second to Nunn is pretty cool too
