Chuck "The Bayonne Bleeder" Wepner.

Another vote for Johnny The Entertainer Nelson.

[Mark TKO]

Lights Out always my favourite


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

[Sleepwalker]

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.

I personally have to go with James "Bone Crusher" Smith. Followed very closely by Oliver "The Atomic Bull" McCall.

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

• Owen "What The Heck" Beck.
• "The Master Of Disaster" Apollo Creed
• James "The Heat" Kinchen

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.

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