JOLTIN Jeff Chandler
Billy FLASH Gordon
Stanley KITTEN Hayward (just an odd one why i like)

SISTER SMOKE Jacqui Frazier
Gabe KING Rosado (even tho im a fan)

 

I liked it in the UFC when Quinton "Rampage" Jackson fought Wanderlie "The Ax Murderer" Silva. Way over the top.
Honorable mention to Darnell "The ding-a-ling Man" Wilson

 

The Steel Hammer was awesome, Dr. Steel Hammer is kinda lame. Not a big fan of Dr. Iron Fist, but the German "Dr. Eison Faust" is super bad azz ��

 

Darnell's nickname sounds like a porn alias.

 

Most have been mentioned, but here's one from the past Hurricane Carter. Hell Bob Dylan even wrote a song about him.

another one I didn't see was the Brown Bomber, (Joe Louis) and the Manassa Mauler (Jack Dempsey) and many unrepeatable names were given to Jack Johnson.

 

"Bazooka"
