    We’ve done boxers who were drinks (Jerome Coffee, etc), birds (Aaron “The Hawk” Pryor), prairie critters (Bruce “The Mouse” Strauss), colors (Pinklon Thomas), bands (Dave Boy Green Day) and many more.

    Time for a new one, I say.

    So what about those scaly, cold-blooded vertebrates who roam the earth? You know what I’m talking about. So let’s try to put together a solid list. I’ll start:

    Ismael Iguana

    Thomas “Motor City Cobra” Hearns

    Donald “Cobra” Curry

    Lizard Charles (who was also a Cobra of the Cincinnati variety)

    Craig “Gator” Bodzianowski

    Roger “Black Mamba” Mayweather

    Corn Snake Griffin

    That should get us started. Who else belongs on this list?

    If we ever do a list of amphibian boxers, this one would be an early frontrunner.
