best nicknames in boxing

[leftylee]

Lights out is cool and if you're talking about fighters living up 2 the name then its PBFs pretty boy as he does'nt get marked up. (but his face isn't pretty) lol

also like Bobby "The Machine" Gunn what a classic shame he can't live up to it like.

[Sugar_Shaw]

Roberto 'Manos De Piedra' Duran (hands of stone), and he could back it up

[Eli_jr24]

Ivan "iron boy" Calderon
Fernando "feroz" Vargas
"Macho" Camacho
"

great names:

"Hands of stones" Duran which should've been Tito's nickname
"Light out" toney. Great nickname. Should of been Tyson's.
"Hitman" Hearns
"Marvelous" Hagler


Funny names:
The Surgeon - Frankie Randall

[Jody Lane]

It's always nice when a fighter can live up to their nickname, take Nicolino Locche whose earned nickname was, "El Intocable" (“The Untouchable”).

Wasn't Milton McCrory called the "Iceman" before getting cold cocked by Donald Curry? Talk about not being able to back it up.

[LEGION]

Zab "Super" Judah, lmao.

[BoxingGorilla]

My name is "White Thrash"

White Trash it is

[C-Lo]

Personally, even though he's bored me in his last couple of fights, Jermiane "Bad Intentions" Taylor is a GREAT nickname.

Thomas "Hitman" Hearns is a good one as well.

Fictionally, Ivan "Death from Above" Drago, BEST NAME EVER!
