Re: What are VERY some strange names of boxers?
Peter “Desperate” Dunn was desperate to get over 100 losses and has now achieved that. Karl “Plug” Taylor out of Birmingham has a plug ugly 16-113 (KO 31)-6 mark. Another Brit, Ojay “Me, Myself & I” Abrahams, is at 20-76-4. Benji “Bad News” Singleton (who was good news for his opponents when he stepped up) chips in with a 26 (KO 1- 107. And then there was “The Prince of Second Avenue,” Jerry Powers, out of Florida.

the "Slovakian Wolfman,” Janos Somogyi is at 8-39-2. But his game is not yet over. Brit Shaun “The Slasher” Walton checks in with a 4-38-3 mark. And there was Dingaan “The Rose of Soweto” Thobela, and Tim “The Doctor of Style” Littles.
Eric Crumble’s record stands at 0-31-0-1. All losses have been by knockout in either the first or second rounds. Crumble has become somewhat of an Internet legend, and has been tabbed with the nickname “The Anti-Marciano.”
