    Lol - rubbush. How can it be a nickname when it never caught on? There was never a time in his history in the ring where he was announced as "Might Mike Tyson" Only Kid Dynamite and then Iron Mike. Just because some rapper wrote a song about Mighty mike dont mean it was his nickname.

    The fighter we once knew as Tony 'Bomber' Bellew no longer exists, and is now simply Anthony Bellew... Don't know why but this just cracks me up :lol::lol::lol:

    Lance "Mount" Whitaker became (tragically) Lance "Goofy" Whitaker.

    You thinks it’s rubbish do you? NEVER a time in the ring where he was announced as ‘Mighty Mike Tyson’?

    You probably weren’t even born when Tyson used that nickname for the first time but next time please do some research before coming on here and stating what someone else does know for sure, as been rubbish. Also for your information I didn’t even know that some rapper brought out a song called Mighty Mike Tyson so well, well done for knowing your rappers songs, if not for your boxing knowledge.

    Not even. He spelled it with a fucking "i" for some reason.

    Goofi.

    Cat suits his fighting style but it just doesn't sound very intimidating.

    As far as I'm concerned Usyk is still the cat until he picks something new. :nono:

    You can't just go from having a widely known moniker to saying "no thanks I don't like it, now I don't have one". Replace it or live with it.

    Ferocious and Feroz aren't two separate nicknames, gringo. One is a translation of the other.

    That's like saying Roberto Durán was known as "Hands of Stone" and "Manos di Piedra".

    True, but they translate the same but they were both separate nicknames since he was "officially" referred to both.
