Re: If you were a pro boxer,what cool boxing name and surname would you use?
Just read this today http://www.maxboxing.com/Tim/Graham020707.asp figured it applied to this thread.
I have no idea what my nickname would be...I think it would be something old school though. I get called "Rocky" in the gym everyone says it's because I hit hard but I figure it's because I'm white and I bleed very easily.....it's not very original but oh well at least it's not like Steelie's nickname "fancy pants"
Re: If you were a pro boxer,what cool boxing name and surname would you use?
Who sings the song "Do you really want to hurt me??" Like off the wedding singer?? That would be my ring entrance song.
Re: If you were a pro boxer,what cool boxing name and surname would you use?
Culture Club does "Do you really want to hurt me"
and FYI Blondie doesn't do "I touch myself"....that's the Divinyls
Re: If you were a pro boxer,what cool boxing name and surname would you use?
If I was fighting John Ruiz I'd walk to the ring with The Thompson Twins "Hold Me Now" playing....or maybe even .38 Special "Hold on Loosely"

You are right. I noticed the Duran No Mas bit after the fact that I had posted it and it made me angry because Duran never said no mas. Sitll an interesting list of names.

Carmen "Upstate Onion Farmer" Basilio
