    Yeah, if I remember rightly his real given name was in fact Fidel Castro Smith (I'm guessing his parents were somewhere on the Left of the political spectrum) but he started out fighting as "Slugger O'Toole" for a few years before using his real name.
    I guess he realized his real name was pretty cool for a fighter too.

    Well he's not a boxer, but it's a great nickname:

    Frank "The Big Hurt" Thomas.
