    Occasionally it hits how immensly cartoonish it is to make up a nickname for yourself. It's easier to swallow when emerging from among the public.

    My top 5:

    1) Micheal (the Bounty Hunter)
    2) Gypsy King
    3) Cuban Flash
    4) Juggernaut
    5) Lupesoliai La'auliolemalietoa

    The 'Nightmare' Chris Arreola was a good one.

    Derek "War" Chisora. The nickname is not such that it sounds like someone will easily defeat him. Aside from what a boxer is like in reality; we only analyze the nickname.

    all of them should share MIA as a nickname, based upon activity level and the quality of said "activity".

    Ever since I ve watched that interview with James Toney being asked about "The Nightmare", I have hear JT's voice in my head mocking that nickname every time I read it
