Well known/popular Boxers without a nickname?

Some Irish boxers can be insanely popular and got through all of their careers known as “Irish” or “Ireland’s” without ever adopting an actual nickname, if that counts.

 

Max Baer

 

His real name was Andrzej Jan Gołota so maybe that counts

 

What about The Nutshot Nutter?

 

Carlos Ortiz
D^ck Tiger
Rafael Marquez
Shakur Stevenson

 

Ken Norton (his nickname was never mentioned by any announcer)
Julio Cesar Chavez (JCC is the initials for his full name - hardly a nickname)
Frank Bruno
Roy Jones (same as Norton & Chavez)
Lennox Lewis (same as Norton)
Anthony Joshua (same as Chavez)

 

Nah, Chavez was known to fans and media as JC Superstar.

 

The Groin Puncher

 

He was The Clown Prince

 

Madcap Maxie

 

Alan Minter

 

I’m pretty sure back in the day, USA Network’s Tuesday Night Fights landed on March 17 (St. Patrick’s Day) one time and they had everyone in either green trunks with white stripes or white with green stripes and introduced every fighter as “Irish” (whatever their name was).

Black, white, Latino … didn’t matter.

it was a fun night. (Also my birthday, hence my username.)

 

‘Officially’ known as The Livermore Larupper.
