    Maybe it’s because I’ll always be a Durán fanboy, but I’ve always loved the nickname “hands of stone.”

    Darnell Wilson. Used to post here, then saw how many clowns populated this place and bounced.

    "Iceman" John Scully. Doesn't hurt that he's from Windsor, CT. You'd be hard pressed to find a better guy or more knowledgeable guy involved with boxing at any level. Excellent AM career (4 Western, MA Golden Gloves championships and 3-time New England GG champ), very good pro career, and an excellent but highly underrated trainer. If you ever have any questions about AM boxing - especially past fighters and match results - this is the dude to ask.

    "Razor" Ruddock, I always thought "Razor" was a good one, like Iran Barkley with "Blade."


    Worst I can think of is Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik. Not because I think it's a bad nickname, but because it never applied to the fighter or his style one bit. Kid friggin ruined it for someone who could have done right by it. I like Pavlik and always enjoyed watching him fight, but he wasn't exactly the hardest fighter to put mitts on.
