    An Alias that grinds your gears??

    For me it has to be Jason El Animals Quigley.

    Born in Laghley, Ireland... Is Quigley bi-lingual in Spanish??? What's the deal here, I've always gotten huge poser vibes from this.

    Any nicknames in particular that ruffle your feathers?

    I never got Sammy "The Who Can Mexican" Vasquez.
    Errol "The Truth" Spence. Um, what?

    Gary Russell Jr. is nicknamed "Mr." :lol: It's like they just gave up.

    Most of the cheesy nicknames make me cringe to be honest. Nicknames for sports teams I get but for individuals, nah. Only in boxing.

    Thread back fire of course I meant El animal, stupid keyboard on new phone (haven't taken off spell correct :()
    I always wonder if Spence is going by "the truth" as some sort of street Jesus angle lol.. I only think so because a few fighters already have, like Andre "The Resurrected" Dirrel or Andre son of God Ward :D

    "Superb" Saunders is shite

    "Saint" George Groves is another stinker

    Andre "S.O.G" Ward is a poor nickname. I like him being proud of his beliefs but it's a **** nickname

    Errol "The Truth" Spence is poor, as is Carl "The Truth" Williams

    Pac Man is a clever name for Pacquiao but The Mexecutioner is better by leagues

    For Hopkins Executioner > Alien

    Tommy "The Duke" Morrison is pretty poor. Tommy could've had much better names.

    Kell "Special K" Brook is my least favourite. Imagine being known as a fighting man, who already talks like a VIP in a men's bar and is introduced as a brand of cereal...

    "Bronze bomber" I find hilarious. You want to keep reminding everyone about that time you came third.

    'Chunky' DeGale.. wtf?

    Michael 'second to' Nunn.

    It's both a bad nickname and a bad pun rolled into one....
