    "Son of God" always bothered me. "Big Baby" does, too. Although there was a basketball player with the same nickname who had a similar build, so maybe that's where it came from.

    I always laugh when some posters call Nicolay Valuev "Sugar." I wish that was his nickname. That would've been great.

    I'm pretty sure Anthony Small got caught up in all the terrorist scandal with IS. Not surprising.

    When I was a teenager and entered the gym, I used to get called Dangerous Dave when I first sparred.

    Pretty cringe worthy looking back.

    I hope not to see another "Machine" or variation of that. Also I don't like the "Fighting pride of location". E.g. Calzaghe and Pacquiao. It's just lazy.

    Andre "S.O.G" Ward.
    Apart from it being a sh*t nickname, it's also illustrates how obnoxious he is.

    The Italian Dragon was also pretty poor. Just didn't sound good IMO.

    He should of just gone for the Prince of Wales and been done with it.

    "Kell "Special K" Brook"
    Yes, always thought this was cr*p. A nickname based on a low calorie cereal that is marketed to the ladies.

    Any nickname that involves using another boxer's name is garbage.

    Caleb Plant's nickname 'sweethands' is rather cringe.
