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

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

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

            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.

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

                            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...

                                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)

                                    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?

                                        dont you know ivan the terrible????

                                        literally, it would mean something like 'he who terrorises" or "he who inspires terror" or some **** like that...i cant put it in better words

                                        El Temible is also very good....
