Not when it makes no sense whatsoever, no
Nicknames are earned or chosen because of i.e.
a) background - Tyson Fury’s “Gypsy King”
b) a play on words - Michael “Second to” Nunn / MANny PACquiao
c) fighting style - Mike “The Body Snatcher” McCallum
d) physical trait - Saul "Canelo" Alvarez
Nothing of the above applies to Garcia. It sounds ridiculous honestly, the closest and most accurate description at this point in his career would be The Emperor... Has No Clothes

It's the Instagram/ TikTok age. You really can't blame them.
Here's a few famous nicknames that were more than earned...
"Hands of Stone" Roberto Durán
"The Hitman" Tommy Hearns
"Smokin'" Joe Frazier
"The Brown Bomber" Joe Louis
"Iron" Mike Tyson
"Marvelous" Marvin Hagler
I like your alternate nickname for Garcia, though. I've offered "PauperRy", but yours is just as good.![]()
there are a bunch of boxing nicknames that make no sense, are you going to be consistent & go through those as well? not all boxing nicknames are earned. where does it say a nickname has to apply to the fighter? it may sound ridiculous to you honestly , the closest & most accurate description to a point of a fighters career is not the same thing as a nickname

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Oh, I forgot Gervonta "Tank" Davis.
I'm pretty sure Leo Santa Cruz would agree it is a very fitting nickname.
king ry enters at number six at one forty with the wbc after this win

Two fights at 140 and he's already been leapfrogged into #6?
Another gem by the Worthless Boxing Council.
