I always felt that the very best nickname of all time by a mile is -

Holyfield lived up to both names The-Real Deal Holyfield. And The Warrior.
The Executioner Hopkins.
Monte Two Guns Barett
Hector Macho Camacho.
Up until Haglar... John was the beast Mugabi.
Not a big fan of women boxing but Laila "she-bee stinging" Ali was catchy.
The Worst has to be The Quiet man....that was his fight style, so I guess it fits Ruiz.
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!

I've always had a bit of a man crush on that little guy. Villa would have never beaten a prime Jimmy Wilde. It has never ceased to amaze me over the years at the amount of people at forums that discount this little fella on biggest puncher lists or leave him off all together. 95 pounding soaking wet and has to be the biggest puncher if "pound for pound" means anything that ever walked the face of the earth
Anyway, Anthony "Sugar Ray Clay Jones Jr" Small has always cracked me up. Its so sad its great.

Although officially Archie Moore has the most KO wins in Queensberry Rules history; most think Wilde probably has the actual most, it is just a lot harder to research his career.I read Wilde was a monster puncher, like Stanley Ketchell.I've always had a bit of a man crush on that little guy.
