    "bad" chad Dawson... he's certainly no bad man

    whilst it is genius and a superb nickname I don't know if juan lazcano really caused anyone to panic...

    Any more?

    Juan Lazcano is featherfisted to be honest.

    Dawson's nickname is in a literal sense, so it's fine.

    I hate the american nicknames that just ryme, Ross "The Boss" , "What the Heck" Beck etc. There was also a fighter who's second name was Payne so his nickname was essentially "Bring The", what a tosser.

    Also the Brits who just shorten their name eg Stephen = Stevo, Gary = Gaz etc, ok for when you are with mates but not to be worn proudly on a pro boxers waistband FFS.

    Great nicknames:-

    Lights Out
    Smokin
    Prince
    Poison
    The Nightmare

    Agreed. I always thought "Second to" Nunn was quite good too.
