I may be wrong, but I don't believe Louis ever anointed himself with a nickname. Newspapers began calling him "The brown bomber, The tan terror" and other such ames that I don't recall at the moment. I guess that doesn't make it any better a nickname though.
Anthony "Sugar Ray Clay Jones Jr" Small is probably the worst nickname by far, but yea I agree "fast" isn't the best of names lol.
Don't really have a favourite nick name.
Not only the worst nickname I've ever heard (so bad even the announcers feel embarrassed saying it).
But probably one of the worst boxers I've ever seen.
