Best and Worst Boxer Nicknames?

[Lurking Class Hero]

What are some of the best and worst?

James "Lights Out" Toney is a cool name

Anthony Joshua just lazily calls himself "AJ". Doesn't get much lamer than that.

Add on.

Lame nicknames to me are nicknames that don’t fit the fighter. Like Danny Garcia & Jarrett Hurd having the nickname “Swift.” Shawn Porter having the nickname “Showtime” when there’s nothing about him stylistically or personality wise that fits that name.

If we are talking about nicknames that just sound good, you got lights out, touch of sleep, Michael “second to” Nunn, real deal Holyfield, razor ruddock, Made in hell, etc

I prefer "The Landlord" for AJ, but even though he's aware of it, Femi doesn't use it.

Lamont Peterson - man used to use "Havoc" which i thought was a dope nickname; then he also used King Pete which didnt hit with me even though it is part of his name

Best:

Roberto “Hands of Stone” Duran
Mike “The Bodysnatcher” McCallum
James “Bonecrusher” Smith
James “Lights Out” Toney

Worst:

“Boxing” Andrew Maynard. How lame and uncreative is that?

Sam “The Boston Tarbaby” Langford. One of the greatest boxers ever, one of the worst nicknames ever.

Rocky was beloved by Brockton because he always made good on the residents bets by winning. Mad people from there used to mortgage their homes to bet on his fights.
