    The URL is showing up, it's autocensored. Can you just print the names? If they didn't include "Pussein Pussein" I'm going to be gutted.

        Dr. Ironfist Klitschko? I agree he should not be on the list and he should fire who ever came up wuth that one.

          the article itself even said it sounded like he could be a superhero or something...but they still added him...

            I'd actually say that "Dr. Ironfist" is the cheesiest name this side of "jabsRstiff".

            It's long-winded, very contrived.....& sounds like something my American ears/eyes would expect to hear/see from some goofy-ass foreigners.

              There's some crackers in there, some that really trip off the tongue like James "Bonecrusher" Smith. A name like that ensures you remember the man long after you've forgotten whenever it was he had his ass handed to him in the ring. Razor Ruddock's another cracker, allowing you to forget the guy had the same first name as the guy who sang "Mellow Yellow".

              I dunno about "Hands of Stone" and Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns though... they're a little too contrived, they don't flow off the tongue naturally. You have to think for a split-second before sayin' em. "Iron" Mike Tyson was probably a really cheesy name 20 years ago but it's been heard and said so often it's an ingrained part of boxing lexicon.

              I love James "Lights Out" Toney though.

                    well about "Hands of Stone", they did bring up the spanish translation "Manos de Piedra" and said it sounds more lyrical
