Nicknames that wouldn't suit another boxer?

Floyd "Second to None" Mayweather

Good point; surely Michael 'Second to' Nunn is greatest oxymoron in boxing history

Like anyone on a boxing forum is going to know what a F****** oxymoron is

Fair point, I noticed the deafening silence

NO, it's funny. I think it's more of a paradox than an oxymoron though. In a "who's on first?" kind of way.

Nunn is second to Nunn.

WTF are you two talking about ?

:P

shza is suggesting that Nunn is expressing an opinion in his nickname, that many consider not true. I am suggesting his nickname is contradictory to his career.

But then again, why am I doing this when you are being ironic?/ taking the piss?

Just because we are trying to bring a bit of class to this forum....

Now I am being condescending

My suggestion was actually that Nunn's nickname was nonsensical because it translates as him being second to himself. (i.e., second to "Nunn"; not second to "none").

So in that interpretation, is that a paradox? And if the answer is yes, then how?

Do not bother to answer, as Britkid is getting far too up his own arse!
