Not everyone knows that 'Junior' Jones' real name is Ivy Jones. When you switch 'Junior' with 'Ivy' you come out with a much more awe-inspiring alias.
In this cornerrr... 'Poison' Ivy Jooones! :cool:

Those are among the best, first one was what I thought of :P If either of those first two had happened to be greater fighters, they would be clearly regarded as such.

Still time for Vasquez. But great would be a stretch ;D
Was thinking Jesus 'The Hawaiian punch' Salud. Surely he had to try and get a marketing deal with the drink company ;D

Anyone name Merciless Ray Mercer yet. I'm sure Tommy Morrison would agree Mercer was worthy of that nickname.

I went to see James Toney in a main event ($10 tickets and was able to walk all the way down to ringside....Yay. On the undercard, some guy named "The Weasel" went against some up-and-comer. He had like 9 wins and 30+ losses. Clearly a "jobber".
I chatted with him on the floor during one of the intermissions later on. He couldn't have been no more than 28 years old and up close his face was almost completely scarred up and teeth were warped. If I were a betting man, I would wager than most of the members on this board would compare his face to his prom pictures and believe they were two completely different people.
Anyways, a promoter approached him to give him his purse. I caught a glimpse of it and it was a little under $700. Sad.
