    Manos de piedra
    the baddest man on the planet
    the baby faced assasin
    el flaco explosivo
    lights out
    smokin'
    the golden boy
    the human highlight reel
    macho
    the ghost
    el magnifico
    the real deal
    the Manassa mauler
    the raging bull



    Worst

    Hispanic causing panic:patsch:rofl:rofl:rofl
    funtime (sounds like a fairground ride/code word for sex)
    hitman hatton (Hitmen don't go in all guns blazing. Ricky the cowboy Hatton would be more appropriate)
    Chunky (makes you think of kit kat:patsch)
    cobra (Cobras are graceful, agile and super fast. How is Froch any of those?)
    Punisher (boring and unoriginal. Paul "lanky" Williams would be better)
    Vicious (boring and unoriginal)
    special K (kellogs cornflakes?:patsch for ****s sake. Kell's real name is Ezekiel which is a good name. They made it worse by shortening it)
    magic (not appropriate for either M Hatton or Paulie)

    When Lance Whitaker was advised by Rock Newman to change his name to Goofi that was pretty bad.

    I always liked Mike "The Vampire" Hunter.

    When I think of magic I think of something unbelievable, hard to believe. Like when you watch it you almost can't believe your eyes. It would suit a boxer with amazing physical ability. Someone like Roy Jones jr or SRL where you see them perform and you're amazed at the physical talent, and how they're able to showboat and do tricks and stuff.

    To be fair, it is hard to believe the title shot.
     
  10. Marquez and Barrera both have **** nicknames.

    El Terrible pretty much sums up Morales though. Just wish he'd have got to Naz first.

    Paulie is exactly that, a showman.

    fair enough, but I'm just not impressed or amazed at what he does in the ring.
