    I like 'The Krusher' and 'The Nail' myself. Also 'Matrix' is an awesome one along with 'The Gypsy King' ;)

    Exactly! I mean the guy looks like a ****ing little....

    Nevermind. But yes I agree he's too goofy looking to have "Pretty Boy" as a nickname. If they did a poll with women between Floyd and Lomachenko on who deserves the name "Pretty Boy" I'd be willing to bet anything Loma would win. For one.. Gabrielle Union would agree ;)

    His fellow boxers on his us boxing team nicknamed him that because he never got touched up in the face.

    Iron Mike is a classic. The rest mentioned, not so much.


    I always thought Dr. Ironfist and Dr. Steelhammer were awesome.

    I like The Hitman for hearns not for Hatton lol, sometimes it's about who carries it.
    The Hawk is awesome for Pryor and Jackson.
    Originality of a place is great also like The Motor City Cobra or Easton Assasin.
    But Triple God is the best:aaaaa:

    my understanding is that he was given this name by his Olympic teammates because he came out of the ring looking the same as when he went in
