A boxer who fought George Foreman in the 90's named Jimmy "right on, right on" Ellis. I still don't know where that came from. Also, Everett "big foot " Martin and Lance "Mt" Whitaker.


I always thought "Pernell "sweet pea" Whitaker was unusual for a boxer until It was revealed that it was originally "sweet Pete." After it was mistakenly referenced as "sweet Pea" during an amateur tournament he kept it.
