    I know it’s horribly racist but that nickname sounds good in a sense that it would worry opponents

    But you struggle to beat the 70s/80s Rhodesian/Zimbabwean Heavyweight scene for names: Hitler the Killer, Jukebox Timebomb, Captain Cleopas Marvel to name but three...

    Pretty boy/ money- mayweather and his arrogant public persona

    Gypsy king- fury

    the president- Ike- makes me laugh that he made his hangers on call him that

    I always thought Hearns' "Motor City Cobra" was cool and poetic.

    Razor Ruddock is another name people know better than Donovan Ruddock, to use the Bonecrusher Smith example.
