    Nope! That was Marciano’s. They played with a variation of the same name for Marv.

    Big George was nicknamed The Hayward Hammer for a time in the 1970s, by some boxing writers (when he was based in California)

    And also “The Machine” my favourite one that didn’t catch on was Jake “One man mob” LaMotta.
