Re: Greatest boxing nicknames of all time: post them here
While undefeated Second to Nunn is a favourite.
You know a nickname is good when the fighters first name is not really used:
As mentioned Bonecrusher Smith is an excellent one; also Buster Douglas, Razor Ruddock and The Hitman Hearns. Talking of Tommy, I actually like his other less famous Motor City Cobra Moniker more; Tommy too.
Ray Boom Boom Mancini actually took his nickname from his Dad Lennie.
Brits wise, I liked Bomber Bruno/Graham and a personal favourite was Chris P Bacon.
But the king of the nickname of course was The Dancing Destroyer, The King of Sting, The Count of Monte Fisto, The Prince of Punch, The Master of Disaster, The One and Only Apollo Creed.
