Pretty Boy, Iron, Son of God, Swift among the best nicknames in boxing?

Michael "Second To" Nunn still stands out.
Mark "Too Sharp" Johnson
"Dinamita"
"The Hawk"
"Krusher"
"Hi-Tech"

 

What about the Dark Destroyer, Baby faced assassin, The hit man or the Easten Assassin?

 

One of the best was of course Ruslan "The White Tyson" Chagaev!

 

"Six Heads" is still the best.

 

Is SOB the best turd in the sewer? I think he is....................actually, I do not think that, he is not the best turd in the sewer, I apoligize to all the turds in the sewer...............

 

take your meds

 

Carl "the Cobra" Froch
The gypsy king Tyson Fury
Dave "The White Rhino" Allen is a great name IMO

 

Paul 'Smigga' Smith.

 

All great as well.

 

Always liked Ike 'Bazooka' Quartey
Also El Mito.

 

Dr Steelhammer (Vladimir) and Dr Iron Fist (Vitali)

are great nicks for a heavyweight fighter with bone-crushing power and a Ph.D

a great fan-given nick: James "bone crusher" Smith, a heavyweight in the mid-80's; in his title fight with Mike Tyson he held Tyson so much that he became James "bone hugger" Smith

beyond that, i think you have to go back 100 years; then every fighter had a great one.

here's a couple of my favorites:

Fireman Jim Flynn (KO'd Jack Dempsey)​

Gunboat Smith (a HW campaigning from 1910 to about 1918​

 

Sweet Pea Whitaker.

Has a great back story: Pernell was called 'Pete' by his friends and he fought in a national tournament in his hometown and was dominating (no surprise) and the crowd started chanting "Sweet Pete" ... and a sports writer misunderstood and thought they were chanting Sweet Pea. Used it in his story and it stuck.

 

Mike "The Bodysnatcher" McCallum has to be the GOAT.

 

Before nicknames were that cool.
Sugar Ray Robinson

 

Harold "the lady killer" shipmen
But not for real
James "lights out" Toney
Roberto "hands of stone " Duran
Saul "canelo" Alvarez
Michael "second to" nun
"Neon" Leon spinks
