    Any nickname that involves adding 'Y' to the end of the surname 'Smithy' 'Jonesy' etc, failing that, The Orchid Man is ****ing gay

    He was the Louisville Lip and the nickname suited him fine. The Greatest was a statement rather than a nickname IMO.

    Any Aussie given the generic Thunder from Down Under annoys me.

    Michael Nunn's 'Second to' was brilliant until he lost.

    'Pinky' Pinklon Thomas was pretty lame.

    The way Tucker started out his career....could see it. For me, it would be Michael"Dynamite"Dokes, who didn't truly have a lot of power.

    Dr Iron Fist,and Dr Steel Hammer. Should be changed to Dr's Ironclad /Steel bound Contract. See my post in Vitali v Solis.:good
     
  11. certainly m8 ,
    i agree tht nickname "The Louisville",
    lip suited him perfect .
    He did talk the **** , and often foudn himself ,
    in deep trouble consistently in the career .
    against holmes , berbick, jones , banks , cooper , frazier,
    and if the greatest is not 1 nickname ,
    it is a **** statement aswell .

    And not forgetting the Game Chicken, a British Prizefighter of the 18th Century.
