    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

                    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.
