Most appropriate nicknames and inappropriate nicknames in boxing history

[Mr. Ryan]

"Prince" Naseem Hamed: He was regal in the ring.

Inappropriate: Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero, Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik. Neither fighters are defensive wizards.

[ИATAS]

Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik. Neither fighters are defensive wizards.

I thought Pavlik was called the Ghost because of his white skin.

[THe TRiNiTY]

Easily the most inappropriate name of all time:

Anthony 'Sugar Ray Clay Jones Jr.' Small

Well.. he started as a a solid fighter, but more of a PUNCHER/KO artist. Then he turned into a fighter who could execute his gameplan well. So, it could still technically fit him.

[small_warrior]

Ricardo 'El Matador' Mayorga ...that's one **** matador

yes he is a wild bull

[sonofisis]

Darnell Ding-A-Ling Man Wilson is a very inappropriate nickname in my opinion.

[sparked_85]

yes he is a wild bull

yep, or just a mental matador.

[Mr. Ryan]

yep, or just a mental matador.

Ah yes, very possible. Baiting his opponents with vulgarity and mama jokes as he opens up for the execution. I like the way you think...

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

Appropriate: Thomas"Hitman" Hearns
Inappropriate: Tony"TNT"Tubbs, Tony"TNT"Tucker, Michael"Dynamite"Dokes, who all were just speedy boxers, though Tucker started out strong with his TNT.

I guess you never saw Dokes fight , he was a ****er to say the least.

Appropriate: Eric "El Terrible" Morales (sounds so good in spanish)

Innapropriate: "prince" Naseem (he was more like a jester and a joke)

[squealpiggy]

Anyone whose name is "The Terrible" has a bad nickname. Does it mean they're a terrible force in the ring, or that they are terrible at boxing?
