Fighters Who Don't Live Up To Their Nicknames

You beat me to it. He was a bull not a matador.

 

Azumah Nelson ...” The Professor “ ...but he’s more of a puncher with a good defense....his boxing skills don’t impress me

 

I came here to post that about Mike Mccallum

 

“ The Professor “ ....would be a better nickname for Mike Mccallum actually

 

Archie himself didn't think the name matched him the only thing he had in common with a Mongoose was how much they disliked cobras.

 

Yeah that should of been his nicknamed lol.

 

While I think McCallum was a murderous body puncher, I agree professor was more fitting. The guy was so strong in his stance and text book with everything that he did. He was beyond special and a fighter's fighter.

Side note, I just turned some MMA guys on to McCallum. Young kids had never even heard if him. Now they are all trying to rip counter left hooks to the body.

 

Any guy nicknamed "Tyson"

 

Came to post that

Chagaev, white tyson
Then there was that turkish guy mini Tyson

 

I don’t understand young kids today ...they have the internet ... and smart phones ... they have access to so much information....And they don’t know ****

 

Nonpareil Jack Dempsey.

I'd think things got pretty pareil when the other Jack Dempsey came along.

 

Touch of Sleep Davyrell Williamson
The White Tyson Chagaev

 

Ordinary I would make some glib comment, but I am a huge Chris Byrd fan, so thank you for that.
