    'Second Too' Nunn; Brilliant whilst undefeated

    'Bonecrusher' Smith

    'Jumbo' Cummings

    'Smokin'' Joe

    'Bomber' Bruno/Graham

    Chris 'P' Bacon

    'Bones' Adams

    But nothing compares to the Zimbabwean Heavyweights of the 80s...

    Nicknames I think are meant to gee the crowd up and generate excitement

    For that reason ive always thought John 'The Quiet Man' Ruiz was about as underwhelming as it gets.

    Combining boxers with nicknames works quite amusingly ie

    "Pretty boy" Scott Harrison

    "Manos de piedra" Joe Calzaghe

    "El flaco esplosivo" James Toney
