    I always liked "Winky Wright" he made the name better by Winking at the Camera and sometimes during the fight. It was a pretty simple thing to do but it allways made me laugh.

      It was a nice touch. A very unwatchable fighter for mine, but I respect him as the most under-rated fighter of his generation.

        I normaly don't enjoy watching defensive style boxers who do not initiate much offence, but I liked watching him fight. By no means a faviorite though.

          He will definitely not get the credit he deserves historically (as he didn't during his pomp) which is never something you wish upon any fighter.

          Watchable or not, Wright was a very, very good fighter.

            Smokin' Joe Frazier.

            However, one of my favourites to listen to is Wlad's.

            When Buffer announces him it sends shivers down my spine.

              "Iron" (Mike Tyson) is the best.

              "Sugar" and "Kid" have the strongest legacies however.

                "Young" also has a strong legacy though it is never used anymore.

                  Definitely not my cup o tea either, and that was one guy whom I was very happy de la hoya never fought in the beginning of the decade when Oscar was leaps and bounds my favorite active fighter.

                  Dempsey used to go by Kid Blackie which probably sounded pretty cool at the time. Also, Mannassa Mauler sounds pretty cool.

                    "Kid" isn't used properly anymore either. It's meant only for Cuban fighters.

                      If I remember rightly, he spent pretty much the whole first round of the second Mosely grinning his face off lol.

                      He was always so laid back in the ring.
