    Yeah that one always struck me as odd. It would be like a slugger being named Slick

    Mayorga is no Matador he is a Bull, ridiculous name for him, but he is so ridiculous in a way it fits.

    Bad Chad Dawson...

    Son of God makes me laugh everytime.

    Sugar Shane Mosley. Each time I say that, people answer : Oh look ! There's a guy who hasn't seen Shane in the lower weight class and blablabla. I've seen his fights and yeah he was good, but not "sugar" good.

    Ahh, the Smurf gimmick!

    Back then, some of Abraham's KO's were described as being Smurftacular!!

    Lol - his Middleweight championship reign was far from that - did you not see his fight with Cory Spinks!? He was treating it like ring-a-round the rosy!

    Apparently the moniker has been shortened down to just "Master"; at least that's how he was introduced by the ring announcer for his fight last Saturday night.

    Not only is "Master" an uninspired nickname for Joshua, it's insipidly simply. :tired

    "High Guard", "Brick Wall", or "Iron Shield" I think would be more appropriate description of JC. He ought to roll with something along those lines. :yep

    I think it would fit more if mayorga and jmm switched names.

    Broner should just go with "Broner a G."

    He should be introduced as "Adrian 'Broner a G' Broner."
