What is the best nickname ever?

[gingerbreadman]

Simple question: whose do you think is the best nickname, and why?

Personally I'd go for "Homicide" Hank Armstrong; brutal, personification of an abstract noun, and hugely evocative of the era in which he fought.

Mitch "Hold my beer" Hicks runs him close.

[BUNGALOWS]

"Hitman" will always be my favorite.

Simple, but intimidating.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

Anthony "Sugar Ray Clay Jones Jr" Small

[Bigg Rigg]

Not for nothing but I really Lucas' nickname. The Machine. Sounds cool.

John "Macho Midget" Bailey.

Carl 'the fridge' Baker for the pure ******ity of it
Tommy 'the duke' Morrison
'Merciless' Ray Mercer
'Iron' Mike Tyson
Vitali 'Dr Eisenfaust' Klitschko

[CubanGuyNYC]

My favorite has always been Tommy Hearns's original moniker, "The Motor City Cobra."

[BattlingNelson]

Owen "What the heck" Beck......


Ed "Gunboat" Smith
"Elbows" McFadden
"Tucan" McGinty
"Machinegun" Kelly
