    I was going to say the Bodysnatcher also. All of them are good to be honest. I don't like the problem too much, but most of the others are great.

    Oh yeah, almost forgot about Dewayne "Mr. Stop Running" Beamon. One of the most unusual names I've seen recently.

    Hands of Stone
    Kid Dynamite
    Bonecrusher
    The Black Destroyer
    The Easton Assassin
    Merciless

    I'm surprised Lennox Lewis never had a nickname that I can recall.
