Who has the best and worst nickname in boxing??
Actually Iron Mike Tyson was a good nickname in 1990 but now it refers to the iron around his wrists. People who say this guy is great are not looking at the whole career.
WORST: Calvin The Boxing Banker Brock... What do banking and boxing have to do with each other?? Lennox The Lion Lewis is also bad, sounds like a gay porn name... BEST: The Hands of Stone Roberto Duran; Iron Mike Tyson; Oscar The Golden Boy De La Hoya, especially fitting now that hes worth 100's of millions...
I like Jack Dempsey The Manassa Mauler, Joe Louis The Brown Bomber, Archie Moore The Mongoose, Rocky Marciano The Brockton Blockbuster, Muhammad Ali The Greatest, Joe Frazier Smokin Joe
Worst : The Greatest First of all what kind of nickname is this?The only reason so many people think he is/was the greatest is because of the psychological phenomenon that when you say a lie enough times, it becomes the truth. The Black Rhino, White Buffalo, Brown Bomber are pretty bad too. I just think that making your nickname racial is tasteless. I don't really like The Golden Boy because at some point DLH needs to grow up. How long until it changes to The Olden Man? Same thing goes for Pretty Boy Floyd Mayweather. Buster is aweful. Who wants to be a buster? Sugar is a great nickname, but should only be used on Hall of Fame boxers. Iron is a good one because its so original. The Executioner is good too. The all-time greatest nickname has got to be Butterbean Who doesn't love the name Butterbean? That name is so good that virtually nobody knows that his real name is Eric Esch.
Bone Crusher Smith....should have been Bone Hugger
