    Hahahahah, jesus, are you lying? That's absurd. He should change it to Shane Diesel.

    I thought I read somewhere that it was 'The Beast'?

    Hmmm, maybe not

    Can't believe he's overlooking the obvious Andre 'The Hurt-o' Berto.

    Actually in the spanish speaking world thre are no middlenames.

    Some people just don't use the "2nd first name".

    Miguel Angel is his entire first name.

    Juan Manuel Marquez

    Juan Carlos Gomez

    There are some more out there.

    I really like that, but I think Andre "Squirt-O" Berto would be a bit more intimidating.

    Yeah, he went from Captain Hook in the Lacy fight, to The Terminator against Green.

    Does anyone remember that one guy who took on some elaborate, ridiculous name to try to get noticed that was like "Sugar Ray Tyson Ali Jones, Jr" or something like that? What was his name?

    Gerry Penalosa didnt have a nickname for his whole career, until he fought Ponce De leon in the undercard of the MAB-JMM fight.

    That PPV event was titled "Fearless"

    that was kind of a weird complaint, wasn't it? Even if he was offended by your joke, you clearly knew what you were talking about. That's why it was offensive.

    That wouldn't be considered a nickname. It's an alias, but not a nickname. It's not much different from Arthur Abraham. You wouldn't say his nickname is Arthur Abraham.
