Most dominant name in boxing

I think Tyson Fury sounds scary. Imagine if you have to fight against someone whose name means "the furious Mike Tyson".

Unless i am going off my rocker i think everyone has misunderstood the thread ask.

If we go Ray to get the ball rolling we have Ray Robinson, Ray Leonard, Ray Seales, Mercer, Mancini etc

To go harder we have (Joe) Louis, Frazier, Walcott x 2, Gans, Calzaghe, Maxim, Girdello, Brown, Gamache

If we expand from the many examples of Tyson in the thread (Mike) we can get McCallum, Weaver, McTigue, and expanding that to "Micheal" we get Moorer, Spinks, Carbajal, Watson, Nunn., etc

Not many for Wladimir i dare say.

I'm thinking deep dives into Rocky, Charlie and Max would garner a few good shouts too. I've avoided "Sugar" because a lot of them weren't a legal name at a guess.

You have it right, JT.

The clues were in "...weird thread idea..." and "....which first name would you consider..."

I nominate: José

James (Corbett, Jeffries, Tunney - real name, Braddock, Douglas - all Heavyweight Champions of the World) deserves a mention. And four of the five were James J.

James seems to be followed by a perilous nickname since the name James isn't so perilous.

James "Bonecrusher" Smith
James "Quick" Tillis
James "Lights Out" Toney
James "The Bank Robber" Page
Jesse "James" Leija...

I don't think first names get any more dominant than Ezzard.
