Touch of sleep

Overall my nods go to "Touch of Sleep" and the embarrassing "Boxing" Andrew Maynard.

 

butterbean is the worst by far

 

BOKAJ 'Ali Houseboy'

Imagine stealing a great fighter's name for your own personal use.
Other names used by BOKAJ;

Houseboy Bokaj
Troll Boy Bokaj
The Ali Gardener
Dirty Socks Bokaj
Baggageboy Bokaj
I want to be Ali Bokaj

 

#I knew this one guy,his nickname was"flash"..but he was slow...

 

....why do boxers even had nicknames. seems so outdated.

 

Because if you have an iconic one, it becomes part of your gimmick, sometimes it is your gimmick....

Buster Douglas, Bonecrusher Smith, Razor Ruddock, Bomber Graham, Iron Hague, Second to Nunn...

There are plenty of even seasoned boxing fans, who would struggle to give the above their real first names, of the top of their heads...

 

Riddick 'Batman' Bowe.

His first nickname, and he even wore a Batman cape, mask and garb.
Then he started in with reciting poems, like you know who.

A complete phony...............

 

Marcus "Tuna" Rhodes. Goofi Whitaker was already mentioned and that one actually probably has my vote. Jimmy "The Jew Killer" McLarnin was pretty bad too.

 

I always liked 'Iowa' Mike Tyson, now that was a proper phony!

 

you ****ing ****** you can't even spell. how old are you? you have worse grammar than a 5 year old go back to the mental institution

 

Some boxing journalists were calling Cassius Clay '78 IQ' after he
failed the Selective Service Mental Aptitude Test.

That wasn't very nice.
Even claiming that he changed his name to Ali, because he couldn't spell
four-letter words.

 

I think he also changed his name to Cassius Bokaj
Then to,,,,,,,, Bokaj X

 

Frankie 'Funtime' Gavin

Funtime sounds like a Bangkok brothel with ping-pong balls bouncing off the walls. Terrible nickname.
