What Joe Smith Jr's new nickname should be...

[SHO_RULEZ]

It wouldnt endear him to Hopkins or his fans, but in order to capitalize on this career changing KO, Smith should change his nick to The Executioner of The Executioner .

Seriously though, Hopkins can take a punch. There were 3-4 times where Smith came overhand with the right, and caught Hopkins right on the button. Hopkins didn't see it, didn't roll with it, just took it flush.

Anyone else, that's a knockout. The key to Hopkins is, he can take a vicious punch, but if you keep chopping at that tree over eight rounds ...the punch to end the 4-piece that sent him through the ropes, put the lights out.

I'm gonna say "Common Man". Hopkins used it as a term of reproach and derision; hence the common man literally knocked his ass out of the ring.

what a life this kid has. not only is he a millionaire now.

for the rest of his life, every time ATG hopkins name is brought up or he catches one of his fights on ESPN classics, he can point to the screen and say, "I knocked that bum out of the ring. chea"

[Redd Foxx]

He executed The Alien, so he should steal both and be The Alien Executioner. (that's actually a horrible name)

The Common Man thing said above is on the right track. Maybe he can go full blue-blue-collar-hero and come out to Skynard's "Simple Man". Carry a 2x4, shout "Hooooooo!"
