    Favorite nicknames from fighters from the past...

    "The Hitman" is obviously awesome. As is 'The Lone Star Cobra" (love that one).

    Your turn...

    Yeah "Bonecrusher" was awesome, especially since James Smith is such a common/bland name.
    It was one of those nicknames that completely supplanted the first name, he simply became "Bonecrusher Smith"
    Same is true of Ruddock and Douglas.

    It was "Jukebox Timebomb," which remains the greatest name in the annals of sport.

    Mario "Bucket of Blood" Chavez. International Boxing did an article on fighter nicknames in 1983 and this one sticks in my memory.
