    You noobs.

    Arthur Abraham is not his real name.

    Manny is not his real name either, it's Emmanuel (which I guess isn't much better).

    And before anyone jumps in, Felix Strum is not really called Felix Strum.

    Ricky Hatton is actually Richard Hatton.

    Anybody named Hector is probably in for it.

    Same for Lame-on.

    Per Wikipedia...which isn't exactly the most SOLID source but hey, it's what we got.


    "After his second-round knockout of Carlos Santana on July 30, 1992, in St. Petersburg, Florida, the ring announcer called him "Winky" Wright, the name given to him by his grandmother when he was 18 months old. The nickname stuck for the rest of his career."
