    Perusing article (see link below) on Sugar Ray Robinson and read the results of the undercard coming across a fighter called Battling Shifty who lost his fight and another called Smuggy Hursey who won his bout. These to me are quirky names and a more recent fighter whose name always makes me smile when reading it is Bert Batawang.

    Are there any fighter's names you find either quirky or amusing?

    Ray "Windmill" White, not just for the nickname only but for his style and antics. Saw him fight a couple of times in 70-71 on late Friday nite feeds. I've mentioned him before but no one seems to remember him. We laughed our tails off watching him. "Windmill"?...In clinches he'd have his opponents head under his armpit and would swat him backwards, behind the back, with shots. And...he might have preceded Ali in pretending to be hurt. :) He wasn't really dirty, just entertaining as heck! Google him!
