Best and Worst Nicknames in Boxing.

[VatoMulatto]

Best: "Hurricane" Peter McNeeley
Worst: "Kid Chocolate" Peter Quillin

Lol I may be the minority here but I think Quillin is an excellent fighter with a poor nickname and McNeeley was a terrible fighter with a great nickname. Maybe Kid Chocolate will grow on me but I doubt it.

I think "Kid Chocolate" is cool cause Quillin pays tribute to the original "Kid Chocolate" - Cuban boxer Eligio Sardinias Montalvo.

Another nickname I like is James "Lights out" Toney

[travestyny]

Darnell "The Ding-a-ling Man" Wilson.

Best...and worst!

My favorite was always James "Bone Crusher" Smith.

Other greats:
Tommy "The Hitman" Hearns
Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins
"Iron" Mike Tyson
Hands of Stone
Ricardo "El Finito" Lopez
Erik "El Terrible" Morales
Bobby "Boogaloo" Watts

Not so great:
Andre "Son of God" Ward
Bernard "The Alien" Hopkins

[Canelo Phresh]

El Cepillo always made me laugh.

[El Gitano]

Always liked how "The Motor City Cobra" sounded, also "The Black Mamba."

There was this unknown kid I saw on Univision fight a long time ago called, "La Ametralladora."

I don't think "Canelo" is cool or uncool but I think he's the first fighter I can recall where his first name is pretty much irrelevant. No one really ever calls him by his first name. Even in the promotional banners, all they have is Canelo.
