    Great nicknames in boxing history

    Guys, can you name some the the great boxers, and the nicknames that they took, or were giving???
    Could you name Jack Johnnson's? Ali's? Ray Leonard's? Larry Holmes? Argeullo's? Salvador Sanchez? Azuma Nelson's? Wilfred Benitez? Archie Moore's? or someone obscure like Rafael Limon, Bobby Chicon, John Venarosa, or Glenwood Brown....
    Let's have fun with this. & No wiki lookups. If you love boxing like I do, these names should roll off your tongue like ordering your favorite beer in a strip club!:boobies:
    Also let's stump eachother with guys as well!

      Again, don't look it up, and It's not "Sugar" either.
