    Far as I know, Neil Tyson is the only guy who took his nickname from his junior high school.

    While other guys were signing with PBC, he inked a long-term deal with PBS.

    Ike Ibeabuchi calling himself the President is pretty up there in my mind.

    Jack Dempseys “The Manassa Mauler” was a great nickname later successfully “borrowed” by the “Marrackville Mauler” Jeff Fenech.

    Iran “the Blade” Barkley was cool as was his given name.

    “The Might Atom” was another great Jimmy Wilde nickname.
