I watched some Mayorga fights today and can't get over how inappropriate "El Matador" is for Mayorga's style. What are some other nicknames that didn't fight their fighters at all?
That's not a bad nickname at all. Neither is "Bobo Olson." What about the following: Lance 'Goofi' Whitaker (he even made it his legal name) :roll: John 'The Quiet Man' Ruiz Laila 'She Be Stingin' Ali (talk about riding coattails) Ike 'The President' Ibeabuchi Lennox 'The Lion' Lewis Juan 'El Pollo' Valenzuela Syd 'The Jewel' Vanderpool? '2 Pound' Steve Forbes (come on now...)
the jewel is alright...not a great boxer to fix it to but it;s not bad. 2 pound is because forbes was only 2 pounds at birth. and his mum called him that, similar to derek 'big poo' ennis marcellus 'more than a conquerer' brown 'famous' michael simms....yeah i googled for him to darnell 'good news' jiles tyrese 'head honcho' hendrix Clifton Mitchell.....nah boring name lets call you 'paddy reilly' there was a argentine welter at york hall 4 years ago called"la mana de dios" record of something like 1-54
scotch wop was a old school boxing manuva wasnt it? funny mand little giant of hanvoer is on the border of corny or class
*I use to tremember a guy named something Bender..and they called him "the kid"...Kid-bender..not a good nickname...
Some more gems: Michael 'Double M' Moorer (so unoriginal. Why not just use his shoe size?) 'Big' George Foreman (took about 5 seconds to come up with this) Marlon 'Magic Man' Starling Mark 'Too Sharp' Johnson O’Neill 'Give ‘em Hell' Bell Kevin 'Flushing Flash' Kelley Chuck 'The Bayonne Bleeder' Wepner James 'The Fighting Cowboy' Tillis
