    I definitely remember Chagaev going by it.

    I was actually just reading up on boxing nicknames recently and bookmarked a Reddit page. Have a look. There's a lot in the actual thread of it, too.

    My favourites from there:

    Joe "Coffee-Colored KO King" Louis

    Carmen "The Upstate Onion Farmer" Basilio

    Owen "What The Heck" Beck

    Michael "Second To" Nunn

    Richel "the Dutch Sonny Liston" Hersisia

    I always thought Ibeabuchi's "The President" was quite amusing.

    It aint about which guy wears it or what shade his skin is. It's about the irony of fervent atheists and the sanctimony that so often accompanies their ire. Not saying that's you, friend.

    For such a great fighter, Pac Man is pretty weak. Mexicutioner was classic though!
