    Chad Dawson stopped going by "Bad"
    Mayweather went from PBF to Money.

    Can you name others?

    Iron Mike became Mighty Mike but I don’t know whether that new nickname ever caught on with fans.

    He BBQ Iguanas so maybe he didn't want to come off cannibal?
    Lol Jesus reference? What's strange is most Christian's find nicknames like that disrespectful. Many dislike Andre Ward cause of his nickname
