worst nickname ever

Post by Old bones Ian »

Henry "Sugar Poo" Buchanan , maybe it means something else where he comes from. Doesn't look a bad boxer though.

You weren't kidding either.

Fightnews are reporting that he's up against someone with the nickname of 'Sugarfeet'.

Not a card for the diabetics, I fancy

The Dancing Destroyer was one of the nicknames that Appollo Creed "used" in Rocky 4.

Michael 'Jack' Johnson! For those who rememeber, he nearly got decapitated by a young Mike Tyson, when Tyson was on the way up.

The man did not resemble Jack Johnson in the slightest, and his boxing skills were so far away from the original Jack Johnson.

wasnt Johnny Nelson's nickname 'the entertainer'


Also 'Iron Mike', it might sound cool in the States but we all know what an 'Iron' means over here.

Carl "The Squirell" Daniels.

Most nights i lay awake at night, wondering why Daniels would label himself with such a title.

Tony 'Hokey-Cokey' Oakey was a pretty bad nickname, until he got a ban for testing positive for Coke, now its brilliant.

I remember cringeing in utter embarrassment when Lennox was announced as "Lennox 'The Lion' Lewis" for the first Rahman match. That was ditched for the return. Must have been the nickname.

I have an unusual angle on this. For me, worse is better!

One that comes to mind is the politically incorrect Johnny 'The Scotch Wop' Dundee.

Hal 'Mommy's Special Champion' Johnson is another good one from way back.

:lol: :lol: theres andrew "six heads" lewis of course, always made me think of the hitchikers guide to the galaxty when he was mentioned.

and why did he call himslef that?

trying to work out how having six heads would strike fear into the heart of any opponents, supose it could confuse them by having multiple targets... :lol: :lol:

also Kermit the killer Cintron.

surely it should Kermit the frog Cintron.

I dont think anyone named after a muppet is gonna really be a killer. :TU:
