    Iron Mike always made me laugh.

    Iron means homosexual in the UK

    Let's come up with a better name for him.

    Timebomb Tyson ?. Any advance on that?

    Mike "The Beast" Tyson; i mean Tyson 1988
    Or in an alternate boxing history, if Mike Tyson retired on New Year's Eve 1989/90 Mike "Speed Kills" Tyson.

    Proof that there are low IQ individuals using the English language without the appropriate license there.

    “The Tanned Terror” was Cus’s intended name for his prodigy. It was as a homage to Louis.

    Early career they called him “Kid Dynamite” so maybe, after a few years, “Adult Time Bomb” might’ve been an appropriate change up.

    Otherwise Mike “The Masticator” Tyson.

    I did poof read my post before submitting to make sure that “Masticator” wasn’t auto corrected to something else. :confused:

    Sounds more like a UK problem than a Tyson one.

    Iron is a great nickname, so was his orginal one Kid Dynamite.

    In the beginning he was annoucned as "Mighty" Mike Tyson.

    That wasnt bad at all. But nothing beats "Kid Dynamite".

    As adult and today elder man i think "Dynamite Mike" would be good.


    PS: So or so i think Tyson Luke Fury should be only called T. Luke Fury from this day on in the Boxing world. I mean he brings only shame to the name Tyson.

    So "T. Luke Fury" or "Lucky Luke Fury" would be ok.

    Not a UK 'problem'. It's cockney rhyming slang (London). 'Iron Hoof'.
