    I don't know, but has any fighter had the nickname "Pinpoint"? My ideal fight name would be Payton "Pinpoint" Parker, because alliteration rules!

    DaVarryl "Touch of Sleep" Williamson is one of my favorites. Darnell "The Ding-a-Ling Man" Wilson is also good.

    Not sure whether it was a nickname or birth name but "Hitler the Killer" was pretty bad.

    Thomas Hearns had two good nick names "The Hitman" and the "Motor City Cobra." I normally like most boxer's nicknames but, "The Galaxy Warrior" is a strange one.
