The post about Johnny Nelson being the "entertainer" made me make the thread.
Another is Chris "Simply the Best" Eubanks.
What are others?

Jermain 'Bad intentions' Taylor :cool:
Jermaine Jackson has worse intentions ;D
If his troubles with the IRS are true, Floyd "Money" Mayweather is pretty ironic.
Zab "Super" Judah, super what? super chicken dance?
Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik, he's not hard to miss so don't see how he has any similarity to a ghost
Ivan "The Iron Boy" Calderon, he's in his mid 30's and doesn't have pop in his punches
I always thought his nickname came from the color of his skin?Quote:

Michael "Second to" Nunn. More of a play on words than an actual nickname.
Humberto "La Chiquita" Gonzalez. FYI, Chiquita translates into little girl. :rotflmao:
Andre "The All Terrain Fighter" Ward.
Owen "What the Heck" Beck.
Steve "Two Pound" Forbes.
I had a boxing trainer, Joe Byrd, the father of Chris Bryd, whose name was "Toy Block" The newspapers gave him that name, although I never figured that one out.
Michael Nunn's name was appropriate for a bit and Owen is what the heck Beck!Quote:

John "the quiet man" Ruiz. He's not fuckin' quiet, his mouth runs like a train and he's always jabbing jabbing and grabbing.
Fres "The Big O" Osquendo.... the Big O..... well...
Eric "Lucky luke" Lucas.... funniest thing is; there was a contest to find him a nickname and this is what the winner came in with.... it's ludicrous.
Darrin 'schoolboy' Van Horn....he skipped the course on ducking
Greg 'The mutt' Haugen...sorry,that actually was exact
Double M Michael Moorer...at the end it was double D's :p
Don't you think it's a little ironic that you marked the inappropriate nickname's thread as inappropriate. :biglaugh:Quote:

That is a nice irony indeed hehe. As for Ruiz, he should have been called "Jab and Grab", I stated it before and will again, this is the most appropriate I think but I disgress with you, his mouth runs way too much for a quiet guy, even Stoney Stone in his corner talked too much;)Quote:

Wouldn't we all wish Ruiz would quiet down and either learn to box or retire.Quote:

Except maybe for a madman, we do all wish... then we could rename him perhaps as well "the man to be quiet soon"Quote:
