    Holster your sword Jan the man knows not what he does. Here chew on this fat a little. I think James J Corbett is a better boxer then AJ.

    Corbett and AJ are neither fish nor fowl.

    Take it outside, gentlemen.

    Fluid Mayweather, as in water lol, mark too shark johnson, evanders third arm called a "halibut" (headbutt) lol. I guess Cotto was a sturgeon /surgeon in that 2nd Margarito fight considering what he did to that (wall) eye pun intended.
    Gills Clancy. James bone crusher fish, salmon imbraginov. Oscar the goldfish de la Hoya, martin tunacao, Juan baby bullshark Diaz lol. Ricardo may-orca, Dolphin Lundgren lol

    Jack Shark-ey, suspected to have gone into the tank against Nemo Carnera - a fishy fight indeed!

    Jack Dempsey, an actual fighting fish, no pun required, named after the Million Dollar Fighter. If pun mandatory, then let's say The Manassa Trawler.

    Megalo Don Cockell

    Paulino Uzcudun - The Bask -ing Shark Wood Chopper

    Murderers Roe - Boxing's Caviar.

    Jack Groper

    And finally....

    Moby Dick Turpin (a warm-blooded mammal I know, but when's that thread classification ever gonna happen?)

    I so can't wait for the thread: Boxers Who Were Coagulants. Pretty sure it will come up naturally at some point.

    Monsel Griffin is in my back pocket, ready and waiting to be played.
