    Can't think of a less intimidating nickname than "Orchid Man" Carpentier.

    Also "Slapsie Maxie" Rosenbloom doesn't sound too dangerous!

    - Lance "Goofi" Whitaker
    - Jim "The Cinderella Man" Braddock
    - Willie “The Worm'' Monroe (Well, it depends on the worm, see e.g. Frank Herbert's Dune saga...)
    - or "the Louisville Lip" for Muhammad Ali
    doesn't sound too intimidating to me.

    BTW., I think the coolest nickname had Willie Pep "Will o' the Wisp" (short and appropriate).
