    Best nickname is Hamster Lungs David Price. But I suspect that's not an official one.

    Worst is The Problem Broner. Change it to "the really quite easy to solve puzzle" then it makes more sense.

    I'm the same with Pavlik he was hardly hard to hit - wasn't he called the ghost cause he was so pale. It just didn't kinda work as nickname

    Good ones
    The hitman is a good one, for both hearns and hatton although the motor city cobra was bad ass
    Iron Mike Tyson always sounded good
    el dinamita
    el terrible
    pac man
    viking warrior not many other than Kessler could carry that off
    Gisueppe Lauri used to go by The End - which didnt suit him but kinda liked
    The Jackal Frampton
    The Ripper Jack


    Always hated floyds nicknames
    Amir calling himself King Khan is a bit of a mess
    SOG - makes me wanna vom
    Why's Crawford called Bud?
    Swift Garcia - eh?
    Bronze Bobmer I know why Wilder chose it but it just sounds like a cheap supermarket knockoff of something good.

    This nickname belongs to Rigondeaux -until Frampton grows some balls and actually steps in the ring with him.This has always bothered me about Frampton he carries Rigondeaux nickname but he's scared to death of stepping in the ring with the real El Jacal.

    They need to establish who the real Jackal is.

    Yeah Amir 'King' Khan was terrible. Was he trying to make himself sound like king kong? No way would he have made it up the empire state building with Khans glass jaw.

    yeh King is awful. I dont think he named himself that though, it was a media press thing.

    Some Asians have like bizarre godlike meaning names for some reason. My flatmate was called Shree, only dawned on me when I googled him 3 months in that I was calling him "Master" all that time.
