    The most/least befitting nickname in boxing.

    King (Abraham)
    The Great (Alexander)
    Desert Storm (Bradley)
    Hayemaker (Haye)
    Executioner (Hopkins)
    King (Khan)
    Dr. Ironfist (V. Klitschko)
    Dr. Steelhammer (W Klitschko)
    Tijuana Tornado (Margarito)
    Maravilla (Martinez)
    Pretty Boy/Money (Mayweather)
    Sugar (Mosley)
    Vicious (Ortiz)
    Pac Man (Pacquiao)
    Punisher (Williams)

      Bernard "the Executioner" Hopkins is best fit

            Hopkins, Wlad, and Vitali all have really fitting nicknames.

            Shane Mosley having the Sugar nickname is weird since he isn't anything like Robinson or Leonard, and Ortiz should have to earn the Vicious nickname back after the way he ran from Nate Campbell.

                yeah I know what you're saying about Mosley, he's the least deserving since his boxing doesn't really involve the sweet science and consists mainly of brawling..
