Best/Worst Boxer Nicknames?

[Rudyo]

Yeah i would agree the worst is Calvin "The Boxing Banker" Brock or Joe "The Italian Dragon" Calzaghe and my favorite would be Erik "El Terible" or O'neil "Give Em' Hell/ Supernova" Bell.

[Liaison]

The Executioner is my favourite.

‘Bonecrusher’, ‘Hands of Stone’, ‘Italian Dragon’, ‘The Living Death’, ‘The Body Snatcher’ and of course ‘The Count of Monte Fisto’ (ok yeah he wasn’t a real fighter but that’s a cool ass nickname) are all up there to…

As for the worst, 'A Force'...

[The Surgeon]

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.

Agree wit all that but my personal favs are Ike "Bazooka" Quartey and Tommy "The Hitman" Hearns! The American boy is quite weak too! It should be the fans and media that giv boxers there nicknames tho!

Anything "Sugar" sucks
"She be stingin" sucks

2. "Iron" Mike Tyson
3. "Marvelous" Marvin Haggler
4. Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini
5. Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns
6. John "The Beast" Mugabi
7. Roberto "Manos de Piedra" Duran (sounds better in Spanish)
8. "Smokin" Joe Frasier
9. Donovan "Razor" Ruddock
10. Mike "The Body Snatcher" McCallum

Honorable Mention: "Ferocious" Fernando Vargas, "Big" George Forman, James "Lights Out" Toney, Juan "The Hispanic Causing Panic" Lazcano, Ike "Bazooka" Quartey, "Terrible" Tim Witherspoon.

Worst 10:

1. Darnell "The Ding-a-Ling Man" Wilson
2. James "Buster" Douglas
3. Ronald "Winky" Wright
4. Jerry "Wimpy" Halstead
5. Jesse "The Boogieman" Ferguson
6. Calvin "The Boxing Banker" Brock
7. "The Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya
8. Lew "The Living Death" Jenkings
9. Nate "The Galaxxy Warrior" Campbell
10. John "The Quiet Man" Ruiz
