    I like to nickname fighters after ww2 or cold war political figures.

    Clement "Atlee" Quartey
    Frankie "FBR" Randall
    Harry "Truman" Greb
    Dwight "Eisenhower" Qawi
    John F Konteh
    Ronald "Reagan" Wright
    George Nixon
    Jimmy "Hitler" McLarnin
    Benny "Mussolini" Leonard

    And my favourite, Jersey Joe Walcott = Win Some, Lose Some Churchill

    A good friend of mine bet $7000 on Marlon Starling to beat Mark Breland in their second fight. Watching Marlon fight that night inspired my friend to give Starling several evocative and compelling nicknames, but if OI told you what they were, I would get perma banned.
