    The big ugly Bear
    The Rabbit
    The Washer Woman
    The Gorilla
    The Mummy
    The Acorn

    I don't want to poke fun, because I liked James Broad as a fighter (and bummed out when he ended up being not so great). But I always noticed a smirk in every announcer's voice when they called him "Broad...….Axe".

    James often had a bit of a weight problem ;)

    Jukebox Timebomb is still all time #1 for me.

    Many great ones have already been mentioned, but I think I am adding 'Scrap Iron' Ryan; 'Bomber' Bruno/Graham; Slugger O'Toole (Fidel Castro Smith) and 'Jaws' Ocasio.

    Elmer "Violent" Ray has always been a favourite of mine. He was initially "Kid Violent" but I guess he matured and just became "Violent".

    The late Troy Waters was known as "The Glamour with the Hammer" which was pretty nifty too.

    A few of my favorites

    "Jew Beater"
    "The Rock from Brockton"
    "The Louisville Lip"
    "Violent"

    The funniest for me is probably "The Human Punching Bag" for Joe Grim

    Also it's not his official nickname but in my chat (after the Pacquiao loss) instead of Keith "One Time" Thurman we called him Keith "Sometimes" Thurman
