    You're absolutely correct. The best fighters have the most evocative names. Oscar De La Hoya, Sugar Ray Leonard, Iron Mike Tyson...

    Trying too hard. I could call myself Explosion McShotgun but that doesn't make me a badass automatically.

    Nah, too derivative. Already been done. Plus he's a bit of a simpleton.

    Thank you.I knew I wasnt mad.
    Conversely,Evander Holyfield sounds a like a poet or artist or something more than a fighter,so it was far harder and longer for him to get the recognition he deserved.

    All time PFP Walker Smith doesnt have the same ring to it either.
