    I like Amir 'King' Khan.
    Robert 'Ghost' Guerrero.
    Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao.
    'Saint' George Groves.



    I used to like 'Vicous' Victor Ortiz too, too bad Ortiz didn't live up to his nickname.

    The thing is about Kell Brook's nickname is that it wasn't always 'The Special One'.

    Until recently it used to be 'Special K', which is the name of a popular breakfast cereal in the UK.

    That's right. Kell Brook is nicknamed after a box of cornflakes.

    This is incorrect, Kell probably had the best nick name out there if you realize what Special K actually referred to. Special K is the alias for a drug called ketamine, a tranquilizer of sorts for big cats, in other words... Kell was saying he could put the biggest and wildest of beasts right on their ass. Unfortunately, they made him go P.G. 13.

    A good nickname has to 1) fit and 2) flow. Saint George Groves is pretty sweet IMO. Keith "One Time" Thurman is nice.

    Perhaps, but I'm not sure you're right about this.

    In any case most people would be unaware of this animal tranquilliser.

    Everyone knows the breakfast cereal 'Special K', however and it's such a prominent brand that most people in the UK would automatically think of the cereal when they heard the name.

    He should have stayed with 'Special K' and went after a sponsorship deal with Kellogs.
