Greatest boxing nicknames of all time: post them here

Chuck "The Bayonne Bleeder" Wepner.

Another vote for Johnny The Entertainer Nelson.

Lights Out always my favourite


The Problem is good too but as said belongs to an average fighter

I think "The Problem" would be more fitting to fighter who poses a real difficult fighter to overcome. Someone who has a style who makes it hard for you to look good against. Winky Wright for example.

Should start a new thread about nicknames that should have been applied. for instance Herol Graham was never a bomber and that one should have gone to Nigel Benn.

Close runners up include in no particular order of sexiness:

"The Body Snatcher"

"Sx Heads" Lewis

"Touch of Sleep" Williamson

Boom Boom and Chop Chop ( honorable mentions) Ray Mancini and DeMarcus Corley

Herol Graham was very much a bomber, he had the nickname since school. And unlike say Bruno who had the nickname because of his power, Herol had it because he always 'bombed' around.

It is a slang term for running very fast:


Herol will bomb around, he is the bomber!

Yes , although lots of people due to Herol's feminine voice mistakenly think his nickname is - Herol " Bummer " Graham.

Junior take it up the shitter Witter.

Lloyd RAGGAMUFFINMAN Honeyghan.

And of course the amusingly named Heavyweights of 1980s Southern Africa: Hitler The Killer, Jukebox Timebomb and Captain Cleapus Marvel come to mind.

The secret Williams.
