It's always nice when a fighter can live up to their nickname, take Nicolino Locche whose earned nickname was, "El Intocable" (“The Untouchable”).
Don't care for Toney, but I do like his nickname.Quote:

Lights out is cool and if you're talking about fighters living up 2 the name then its PBFs pretty boy as he does'nt get marked up. (but his face isn't pretty) lol
also like Bobby "The Machine" Gunn what a classic shame he can't live up to it like.
Roberto 'Manos De Piedra' Duran (hands of stone), and he could back it up
Ivan "iron boy" Calderon
Fernando "feroz" Vargas
"Macho" Camacho
"
great names:
"Hands of stones" Duran which should've been Tito's nickname
"Light out" toney. Great nickname. Should of been Tyson's.
"Hitman" Hearns
"Marvelous" Hagler
Funny names:
The Surgeon - Frankie Randall
Wasn't Milton McCrory called the "Iceman" before getting cold cocked by Donald Curry? Talk about not being able to back it up.Quote:
