    Best/Worst Boxer Nicknames?

    Even though it would be lame for a lot of fighters, 'Big' George Foreman just seems to be a great nickname. It's simple like 'Irish' Micky Ward. Of course 'Real Deal' Holyfield and 'Iron' Mike Tyson are really good.

    And Ronald and James like 'Winky' and 'Buster' just fine.

    Lance 'Goofi' Whitaker is just terrible. Or is it Goofi Whitaker, formerly Lance? I know there was a time that Goofi was his legal name.

    I'm not a big fan of John 'The Quiet Man' Ruiz, either.

    Is 'El Terrible' (Erik Morales) a nickname that gets lost in translation? I never quite got that one...

    Laila 'She Be Stingin' Ali is pretty weak too.

    A nickname itself should be good, but it should fit the guy it accompanies, too.

    You can't get much better than "the greatest".

    I also like "sugar".

    The funniest was Marvin hagler legally changing his name to "Marvelous".

            yeah his name is oficially Marvelous Marvin Hagler, just flat out classic.

            I always liked "The Real Deal" the best

            "The Body Snatcher" Mike McCallum's nickname is about as wicked a nickname as you will ever see.

                    Didnt he legally change it so they would announce it in the ring but there was so much discrimination they didnt actually announce it till he beat hearns?
