    Default Boxing's Best names

    Done before I know, but I think you will struggle to top the Zimbabwean Heavyweights of the 70s/80s:

    Jukebox Timebomb

    Captain Cleopas Marvel

    Hitler The Killer

    Looks like Captains Marvel opponent George Foreman fought some weird names too.

    Black Tiger, Kid Power, Proud Killamanjaro and Hisman Flash Chisango all seem like they are straight out of a comic book.

    I got to see Proud Kilmanjaro [rip] fight on these shores (Britain), and I boxrec'd them from there.
