The professor?
no, nice try though.
Shittt,I forgot it,I had it a second ago.It was earlier in his career when he was meaner and more ferocious,just went in and killed his opponent!!!!Crapp...um...hold up,I'll remember.
Ug-Mug
The Killer.....the destroyer.....something really unfriendly and mean..crap,I can't remember!!
The Terror.
The Hitman right?
He was 'The Terminator', then 'The Destroyer' , before becoming 'The Executioner'
I think he changed the nickname in his fourth or fifth fight, when a commentator said that he 'executed' his opponent

My god were there mics on Bernard's gloves on that first knockdown???? Those were ridiculously loud. Please tell me there were mics somewhere near by, noone should have that power.
