who are boxers who changed their Nick names?

Prior to the application of his current nickname “Pacman,” Manny Pacquiao was known as “The Destroyer.”

 

Chris John changed his to "The Dragon" a few years ago, but I can't recall what it was before then

 

O'neil Bell, from "give them hell" to "supernova"

 

After he lost to buster douglas at least in the Razor Ruddock fights they announced him as "Mighty Mike Tyson" probably trying to reinvent himself...didn't stick. Also before Kid Dynamite he wanted to call himself "The Tan Terror" kind of like "The brown bomber"

 

This is true. He sort of interchanged. After Leonard he was more the Motor City Cobra, then after Duran he became the Hit Man again.

 

Mikkel Kessler started out with "the hitman" and later on "simply the best" before he changed it to "the Viking Warrior"

 

Ricky Hatton started with "the Hitman" as well but ended up being famous as "the Fatman".

 

probably after Chris Eubank who was one of his favourite fighters

Martin Rogan went from The Entertainer to Iron Man after getting an iron rod in his neck

 

Lance Whitaker was goofi, then changed to mount

 

both of andre's nicknames are terrible

i know they tried to give lennox the nickname of the lion...that didn't fit esp with the way he fought lol

 

Chavez was Mr. KO

 

Wasn't it something to do with politicians in Detroit thinking a name like the Hitman would reflect badly on the city so it changed to Motor City Cobra before he got sick of it and changed back?

The Hitman was a great nickname though, it just fits Hearns so well.

 

Chris "Indonesian Thin Man" John into The Dragon.

 

I forget which fight it is buts its very early on in his career & its on youtube.

This video mentions the whole batman thing in the intro
