I quite like Herol 'Bomber' Graham.

That's not a real name, but it should be.

Two fighters that unfortunately had their careers cut short had two of the best nicknames.

Very stupid. Although I think "Tuaman" Tua is the worst.

I always liked

"The motor city cobra"
"The beast from the east"

"Marvelous" Marvin Hagler
"The Easton Assassin" Larry Holmes
Davryl "Touch of Sleep" Williamsen
