Ishmael 'The Black Roy Jones Junior' Tetteh.:rofl I would pay good money to see Tetteh on an HBO card with Roy on the commentary team.

Chris 'The Male Man' Male.:huh Wellll... this one's about as stupid as it gets, and yes, it is spelt like that.

Aik 'The Humanoid' Shaknazarian.:nut I'm assuming Aik is actually human, not merely human-shaped as his monniker suggests, though if Bhops can be an alien I suppose Aik can be forgiven his daft nom-de-guerre.

An honourable mention goes to Jarrod 'Left Jab' Fletcher, which, whilst being technically accurate (he's orthodox) is hardly likely to strike terror into his opponents' hearts in the way that Left Hook Lacy (briefly) did.
