Best/Worst Boxer Nicknames?

[Panamaniac]

You can't get much better than "the greatest"

That was not a nickname, it was Muhammad Ali's opinion of himself. Ali never really had a nickname, unless you count "The Louisville Lip" as he was dubbed while he was still Cassius Clay. Far from flattering, he was also called "Gaseous Cassius," both nicknames stemming from his propensity for braggadocio.

My absolute best is Luis Angel Firpo's "Wild Bull of the Pampas."

Other great nicknames:

• Brown Bomber (Joe Louis)
• Toy Bulldog (Mickey Walker)
• Manassa Mauler (Jack Dempsey)
• Brockton Blockbuster (Rocky Marciano)
• Galveston Giant (Jack Johnson)

Con****uous by it's absence is popular favorite "Hands of Stone" which gets loss in translation from Manos de Piedra (spanish).

My absolute worst is Pernell Whitaker's "Sweet Pea" more suitable for a wimp.

Other worst nicknames:

• Quiet Man (John Ruiz)

Note: I'll add to the worse list later; gotta go to work now.

WHEN WHITAKER changed his name to goofi that was really strange!!!

That wasn't his nickname eventually - he legally had it changed...

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

I have always liked "A Touch of Sleep".

Dude those nicknames suck.

How about "Sweeter Than Sugar" Ray Robinson. Haha, wow, he would be the world's most hated fighter.

lmao, he would have no choice but to either be the greatest fighter to ever live, or one of the most hated boxers on the earth.

Even though it would be lame for a lot of fighters, 'Big' George Foreman just seems to be a great nickname. It's simple like 'Irish' Micky Ward. Of course 'Real Deal' Holyfield and 'Iron' Mike Tyson are really good.

And Ronald and James like 'Winky' and 'Buster' just fine.

Lance 'Goofi' Whitaker is just terrible. Or is it Goofi Whitaker, formerly Lance? I know there was a time that Goofi was his legal name.

I'm not a big fan of John 'The Quiet Man' Ruiz, either.

Is 'El Terrible' (Erik Morales) a nickname that gets lost in translation? I never quite got that one...

Laila 'She Be Stingin' Ali is pretty weak too.

A nickname itself should be good, but it should fit the guy it accompanies, too.

hey bro how about the fighter on your avator......... WHEELS lol.
remember when the traveling business man tried to ****** Wheels when he went hitchhiking and he put his hand on his thigh lol.

Thanks for the translation. Something was lost in the translation for sure - calling a boxer 'terrible' doesn't seem like a compliment - ie Morales looked 'terrible' in the third fight with Pac...

haha yeah, Its actually inspired in Ivan IV "The Terrible"
