    Bonecrusher. I remember a comedian doing a skit about a guy with the nickname bonecrusher slapping his girlfriend. Long story short, the comedian cussed his girlfriend out for messing with a guy called bonecrusher. LOL

    Juan " the Hispanic causing panic" lazcano, Darnell "the ding a ling man" wilson, the hockey player Tkachuk they call him Chuckie lol.

    Lennox Lewis: the lion, the pugilist specialist, double L, the emperor.

    Johnny "mi Vida Loca" Tapia, PAC man before was known as "the destroyer."

    Ricardo Mayorga shoulda been called "el toro'' instead of "El Matador" more like a bull than a Matador lol.

    Kirk "bubba" Johnson. The Klitschko s have some unique names, Sergio "the Latin snake" mora. Alphonso "superman" Gomez. "The pin" arturz spielzka, what does that even mean?
    Eric "butterbean" esch, and his son "babybean" lol.
    Some dude who fought Vargas with a crown on his head, called himself the king or Prince or something bizarre, plus the crown was his real haircut, a halo of some sorts. One of Fernando's last few fights...

    I thought "x man" was the coolest name for Hopkins.
