    That is an awful nickname, and that is The Truth.... Which reminds me of another Heavyweight Williams, who had a rather good nickname!;)

    He got a beating from a neighborhood kid as a boy, went home, and his sister was upset at him. He said "I couldn't hit him back, I saw six heads!"

    that's as close as my memory allows.

    good ones.
    why is Michigan Assasin better than Easton Assasin ?

    i would have brought Boston Tar Baby myself had you not done so.

    1. The Real Touch Of Sleep
    2. Doin' Damage
    3. Bring Da Pain
    4. Lil' but bad
    5. Li'l hagler
    6. The One Man Riot
    7. Reggie buse
    8. The Bayonne Bleeder
    9. Cowboy
    10. Supernova , Give 'em hell

    Ghost Dog could have easily made this list , maybe should.
    the one whom will tell me what it means will get my respect.


    pacman is also worth mentioning , at the beginning i thought it meant something else :yep.

    Sweet and Sugar are also good , but sweet is almost expected after getting used to sugar. the same for sugar boy.

    Loccomotora is nice too.
    aussie sniper , the jet (his original nickname btw , since long before boxing ) , The Sheriff , the blade , the facelifter , cadillac (what's that for ?) , royalty , M16 , stone Kold , Bell ,

    the man always goes with stan.
    TNT always goes along Tony with a family name that begins with 'T'.
    King will always come after Arthur.
    and Iron will always come after Mike (since the tyson days)
