    Worst I can think of right now:

    Adam "The Swamp Donkey" Richards
    Butterbean
    Both Klitschko's nicks are bad
    Nate Campbell
    Devon Alexander and Mike Katsidis, they're both confused with how nicknames work
    Six Heads, like wut
    Sugar Shay
    Adrian Hernandez
    Tomoki Kameda
    Captain Hook


    Good ones:

    Tuaminator
    Manos de Piedra
    Nicholas Walters
    Chop Chop
    Ding Wilson

    Why was Paulie on the bad list? It's not great but it's hardly the worst.

    Johnny 'the entertainer' nelson is pretty dire. I also think Calzaghe's the Italian dragon was really sh!t. He should have just been the dragon or the prince of Wales.

    Anthony small had a ridiculously long and stupid one too.

    Canelo. I'm sure there are some people who don't even know his first name.
