Great shout that Vlad. Great boxer was Nunn.

 

Julian 'The Hawk' Jackson is another.

[littletedwest]

Johnny " the entertainer" Nelson, never has there been a bigger cock up when giving a nickname

[Elite]

Lawrence 'The Sauce' Okolie is shite.

 

'Pretty boy' is overused as well.

 

Best one for me is Erik 'El Terrible' Morales.

[Bjornebye]

I think "Gypsy King" is woeful. 

 

The "Count of Monte Fisto" is the winner. 

[easytoslip]

Kid Chocolate alias The Cuban Bon Bon. 

I've always thought that The Bringer of Darkness, that charming Spanish Inquisition chap, would be a good one. 

[Tony Moanero]

The Count of Monte Fisto - Apollo Creed

Saved me a job KMD7.

 

Loved an old story in Ring Magazine reporting that Hector Camacho had been arrested for driving at 40mph in a 30mph zone, and while this does not seem too bad, the situation was slightly exacerbated by the fact he had a naked young lady facing him and impaled on his manhood, thereby obscuring his view of the road.

I'm guessing that the Mid American Cruiserweight title is not a much sought after bauble seeing as Mitch got a shot on an eight bout losing streak including six ko's.

[Remmie]

Andrew "6 heads" Lewis because a sparring partner saw that many heads after a particularly vicious flurry

Schmeling: Black Uhlan of the Rhine, or in his mother tongue: "Der schwarze Ulan vom Rhein." Try saying that out loud, loudly, and not getting a hard on.
