    My favorite of all time is a simple one. Jack Hammer Lane.

    I don't care for acronyms. SOG, AJ, etc...TBE, they can all FTS in the B.

    Bomber was always kind of inappropriate for Herol Graham since he wasnt a KO artist.

    Julian Jackson's nickname must be one of the least fitting in history. The Bat might have suited him better... blind as a bat, hits like a bat.

    yeh Chunky is bad. A word for spew, come on Degale, you can do better. Although then you see a pic of his mum and you might well get it.

    Ricardo Mayorga and his matador nickname never fit either.

    Alex Matvienko who is now a trainer went by the nickname 'the one man riot', don't know whether I like it or not.
