    Honestly, Canelo is one of the best nicknames in the history of sport. When people know you and refer to you by your nickname a tonne more than your real name then you know you've got a fantastic nickname.

    I always liked Roman "made in hell" Karmarzin. He was a pretty good fighter as well.
