Worst Nicknames In Heavyweight History

I always thought “Big” George Foreman was a pretty good nickname but I can understand why you might say it bland.

Del Boy kinda sucks with all due respect to Chisora

yeah yeah don't reply to me trying to explain it I already know the Story of a Popular Sitcom Character from the 80's blah blah blah

Based on a popular tv show here in the UK called only fools and horses it's the main characters name dereck/del boy. He must of been a fan or something.

Got it. Thanks!

I don't think George Foreman and Rid**** Bowe should be on the list, sometimes fighters can try too hard with their alias's.

Big George, and Big Daddy Bowe fitted those fighters perfect.

I like the way Mike Tyson went from Kid Dynamite to Iron Mike Tyson.

Tyson Fury has many different alias, depending on the stage of his career and adaptions in style.

Clumsy Kid, Too Fast too Fury, The Riddler, Kronk Fury.

I wonder if Fury is developing into something else, the other day as I was going about my day. I thought to myself? If fury attempts to bring back certain traits of the Riddler i.e a better defense, and combines them successfully with Kronk Fury I am going to start referring to him as 'All Star Fury'.

All Star Fury really would just be Kronk Fury but more refined.

To be honest he was on his way to this status, during Wilder II 'But then seemingly went backwards in the third fight for me'.

Note: When I say Fury needs to improve his defense, I am not necessarily talking about dancing around the ring. I just think he was extremely clumsy vs Wilder in the third fight, that needs to be limited.

I always thought the Klitschko brothers had terrible nicknames tbh Dr. Steelhammer and Dr. Ironfist just sound ridiculous like a villian on a camp kids tv show or something.

Three ones that lack any measure of excitement:

Tommy "The Duke" Morrison
David "Tuaman" Tua
Mike "Hercules" Weaver

Ike "the president" Ibeabuchi

I like "The President" as a nickname. I do believe someone gave it to Ibeabuchi to honor former US President Dwight "Ike" Eisenhower.

Another lame one: Cliff "Twin Tyson" Couser.

Ike yes ..Iron though was something that fit Tyson like a glove though ,his original Nick name was Kid Dynamite .

For a while (around the Tyson vs Ruddock time) he was announced as "Mighty" Mike Tyson. It was horrible, and in fact didn't last.
