    Boxers who changed aliases in their careers..

    Name them..

    We know Floyd Mayweather changed from "Pretty Boy" to "Money" . Who else has done this.

    Mike Tyson was "Kid Dynamite" and then went to "Iron Mike." Or maybe he just had two.

    I can't think of any others. Let's hear them...

    Lance "Mount" Whittaker to "Goofi"
    Marvin "Brockton BlockBuster" Hagler to "Marvelous"

              This is a rare one.

              James Toney started out as "The Motor City Bad Boy" but changed it to "Lights Out" a little later in his career.

                For the Ruddock Fight Tyson Used "Mighty" Mike Tyson. And also added the baddest man on the planet after prison to his intro i guess not an alias. Kid Dynamite was never an actual alias more of something the press came up with.

                  Wow. How did you come across that? Unfortunately, I still can't give you Karma. Thanks though.

                  Yeah, I wasn't sure about Kid Dynamite. I figured someone would correct me if I was wrong which you did.

                    I found that out when I was watching some of Toney's early fights and the announcer introduced him as "The Motor City Bad Boy", I laughed at that.
