Favorite Boxing Nicknames

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Chris 'the Male Man' Male. And yes, it is spelled like that.

Kristian 'Mr Reliable' Laight. 12(0) - 279(5) - 9. Holds the record for the greatest number of losses. The UKs most dependable and regularly employed journeyman for over a decade.

Aik 'The Humanoid' Shaknazarian. The name isn't wrong... Aik is indeed human shaped.

Ishmael 'The Black Roy Jones Jr' Tetteh. It was one of my dearest hopes for several years that one day Roy would be on the commentary team for one of Ishmael's fights.

“The Black Roy Jones” is a classic.😂

Gerald Washington’s nickname “El Gallo Negro” (the black c***/rooster) is a funny one.

I always liked “Chocolatito”.

“Hands of Stone” is another great one, Carl Frampton was actually nicknamed “brick fists” in the amateurs.

“The Bayonne Bleeder”- Chuck Wepner.

Audley Harrison once fought some guy nicknamed “The Dutch Sonny Liston”.

Interesting! Frampton and Harrison's opponent were new one's to me, thanks.

Hen The Game Chicken Pearce

Hersisia his name was, looked him up before. He was a far cry from Sonny Liston.

The Old Mongoose was once simple The Mongoose.


It's a bit different from say Godfrey's Old Chocolate...which is one that should be on your list I reckon, but anyway, Godfrey was never simply Chocolate, Moore was once just The Mongoose, The Old Mongoose came like Old Foreman came; when they got old.


Probably no one gives a ****, but still, in his case the old was a bit respectful whereas old chocolate was derogatory.
