Manny Pacquiao (Pacman) is sometimes referred to as, "The Mexecutioner." What about others?
Roberto Duran (Manos de Piedra) with, "Cholo." Meldrick (TNT) Taylor was, "Meldrick The Kid." George Foreman (Big George) was early on called both, "The Fighting Salesman," &, "The Houston Tornado." Larry Holmes (The Easton Assassin) was known to some as, "The Black Cloud." Muhammad Ali (The Greatest) adopted, "The Louisville Lip" &, "Gaseous Cassius" in his early days.
