If you were a pro boxer,what cool boxing name and surname would you use?

[El Kabong]

Just read this today http://www.maxboxing.com/Tim/Graham020707.asp figured it applied to this thread.


I have no idea what my nickname would be...I think it would be something old school though. I get called "Rocky" in the gym everyone says it's because I hit hard but I figure it's because I'm white and I bleed very easily.....it's not very original but oh well at least it's not like Steelie's nickname "fancy pants"

[boozeboxer]

Who sings the song "Do you really want to hurt me??" Like off the wedding singer?? That would be my ring entrance song.

[El Kabong]

Culture Club does "Do you really want to hurt me"


and FYI Blondie doesn't do "I touch myself"....that's the Divinyls

[El Kabong]

If I was fighting John Ruiz I'd walk to the ring with The Thompson Twins "Hold Me Now" playing....or maybe even .38 Special "Hold on Loosely"

Like Chacon is better known as 'School Boy'.
And I'm willing to bet that Duran never changed his name from 'Hands of Stone' to 'No Mas'. Durans 1st nicknames were 'El Chavo' (The Kid) & 'El Cholo' (The Gangster) when he started his career.

You are right. I noticed the Duran No Mas bit after the fact that I had posted it and it made me angry because Duran never said no mas. Sitll an interesting list of names.

As far as music, I really liked the "music" that Tyson had when he fought Spinks, it was like the sountrack to a murder scene. You just got the feeling something bad was about to happen.
Carmen "Upstate Onion Farmer" Basilio
Bobby "Schoolboy" Chacon
This one takes the cake...I stumbled onto Sam "Boston Tar Baby" Langford....dont hold back, jeez a harsher era I think.
Dont forget Jim "Cinderella Man" Braddock....those nicknames are pretty scary if ya ask me.

For my entrance music...it would have to be Wagner, Ride of the Valkyries, or Momma said knock you out by LL Cool J
