    Because of his defensive skills, his face is usually unmarked. Also "Pretty Boy" Floyd was a famous criminal back in the day.

      His Olympic teammates called him that because he didn't get hit much. Pretty Boy Floyd was the name of a gangster in the 1920s.

      It's a better nickname than "Money".

              Only gay guys calls themselves pretty, what can you say about a boxer that uses pink gloves, and being carried to ring by a bunch of guys.
