    "Big Baby" Miller. I just picture him in a diaper with a pacifier for a gum shield.

    "Popo Freitas" sounds good man, that's all. Irony, humor, whatever the meaning or justification.

    It's far better than his original one: Andre "The all terrain fighter" Ward :facepalm:

    I always hated "Big" George Foreman. It's like they didn't even try.

    And this nickname was phenomenal (although I'm biased towards anything Nunn)

    Yep, Sergey "Noodles" Kovalev was a horrible nickname. I'm glad they changed it to Krusher.

    Boston Tar Baby is pretty damn irritating nickname, White Tyson is cringeworthy, The Landlord (Anthony Joshua) is a sight into AJ's delusions of grandeur. Then we have Battling Batalino, Harry "Windmill" Greb is horrible. Money is a nickname that's so unimaginative it could be taken as evidence that Floyd can't read. Nigel Benn lifted his nickname, Dark Destroyer, from Joe Louis which is very irritating.

    I still don't get why he didn't go for Alabama Slamma. He might as well call himself the Basketball Bomber or Brain Destroyer or Dementia Dealer or something, but Bronze Bomber? Guy's just freeloading off Joe Louis.

    Money.

    Not because it is specially horrible, it is but not so much. But because it destroyed Pretty Boy Floyd, which in my humble opinion is one of the best nick names in history.

    No nick name ever irritated me but i always 'Bud' was a bit stupid.

    Errol 'Man Down' Spence isn't much better either.

    Couldn’t Anthony Joshua or the Matchroom PR team have come up with something a bit more imaginative or intimidating than ‘AJ’?

    Anthony ‘Mr Olympia’ Joshua or maybe even Anthony ‘Tour de France’ Joshua?
