    No its lazy marketing, actually playing on King Kong which in itself could be deemed racist in this very p/c world!

    Plus its seriously premature calling him 'King' when he hasnt faced a top fighter in his division yet....

    Surprised this thread has gone on so long without 'Vicious' Victor Ortiz. That hollywood smile and lack of heart makes me **** myself personally.

    I think Carl Froch's nickname is given because of his fighting stance. It looks vaguely like a coiled cobra.

    Doesn't Khan mean King in Pashtun??:think

    Also, "Manassas Mauler" doesn't really do Dempsey justice

    Got tons of meanings ruler, prince, emperor, king. I dont speak Pushtun and aint researching it but im sure you are right. Cant imagine his marketing people speak Pushtun and factored that into thier plans.

    Still premature to name him 'King' atm

    pas original nickname was the destroyer which IMO was way better, people just kept calling him pacman and it just stuck.

    "Son Of God" FFS

    Ward seems like a decent guy and one hell of a fighter but I would gladly **** his children for this nickname alone.
