    I always though "Bad Intentions" was a good one. Viscous Victor Ortiz sounds great too

    hmm says...
    I never understood why there were so many boxers with the title "sugar".
    What the hell do you do to earn "sugar"?

    "Iron" Mike Tyson is the best nickname I have ever heard. It fits together so well.

    I've always wanted to know whether that's a reference to Ken Norton as Mede in "Mandingo" or to Frederick Lamont as the, ahem, "actor" known as ManDingo... though I'm kind of afraid to ask him.

    You have to earn it. SRR, SRL, and now Sugar Shane have all earned it.

    Mandingo Warrior is one of the worst nicknames in the sport, what are you guys talking about?

    Jermain "Bad Intentions" Taylor, Tim "The Desert Storm" Bradley, and James "Lights Out" Toney have awesome nicknames, but they don't really fit their fighting styles.
