worst nicknames in boxing right now

James 'Chunky' DeGale... WTF?

 

Xiong Zhao Zhong actually had "Chinese Tyson" for a while...along with another candidate for both worst and best ring name: Pocket Hercules. :yep

 

Like Porky Medina, he used to be fat in childhood.

It's what their close friends and relatives have always called them by, so those are nicknames in a truer sense than any of the contrived showbiz ones.

 

Should have stuck with Double Zong or Triple Z or something. Chinese Tyson is just lame

I just dont think you should name yourself after another fighter, especially one that was probably active around the same time as you.

Yes Chagaev, we already know your white, just call yourself Ruslan 'Tyson' Chagaev

 

Or stylized the spelling of his middle name to Yao so he could be XYZ. :deal

 

He's actually an Asian Muslim. :good

 

An asian muslim who calles himself 'White Tyson'?

unless the white stands for something else?

 

Yep, and he is actually more a legit Muslim than Mike himself, since Islam has been dominant in his community going back many centuries whereas Tyson just converted to Sunni in prison (not the controversial NOI as sometimes reported, which is what young Clay/Ali joined and which is rejected by mainstream Islam as being just a weird made-up American cult and not part of their actual religion) but he can be assumed to be non-practicing for many years if not the last couple of decades, given all the harām stuff in his lifestyle eg. face tats...)

Maybe he likes to sniff a little nose candy? :conf (would help legitimize him likening himself with Tyson. :yep)

Maybe that's how he contracted hepatitis? Sharing a dirty dollar bill?

 

People hating on Money but yet praise Pac-Man? Irony. I can't think of any bad nicknames right now...

Andre "Son of God" Ward
"The Alien"
Peter "Kid Chocolate" Quillin

off the top

 

IB, are you muslim? you know alot about that stuff.

Actually, i did read the story behind why Chagaev calls him self the white Tyson, he said he does it because he was short just like Tyson

 

Azzerbyjohn!:huh What's it like there?

 

Nah, just worldly.

Ah...yeah, okay, in the general build, I can see it. (though Chagaev on his best day was never as ripped as Tyson...well, now...that's just down to genetics...but in terms of builds proportionate to height and reach, then yeah...)

 

I can't tell you what the worst is, but I can tell you what the best are

"Iron"
"Pretty Boy"
"TBE"

 

Iron and pretty boy are good, but you cant help but suck on mayweathers dick in any thread can you
