strangest boxer names

[evrenb]

I have a fight on tape from the late 1980's featuring a
Popular british fighter called mo.hussein...his opponent was called 'bright spider'....thats my vote!!

[Rover]

Was that his actual name or a nickmame?
What about Goofi?

[Rover]

My All-Time Favorites.....

"Jukebox Timebomb"

"Shako Mamba"

"Kid Chicken"

Are the first two actual names or nicknames?
Was Kid Chicken any good?

What about Goofi?

As far as I can see it was his real name...he was very cute..looked so sad when he was kayoed with a small punch...

Russ Niggemyer...I wouldn't want to say that out loud.

Is Lamont Lovelady the sexiest boxer name ever?
I cracked up when I saw Tompkins' pronounciation of it in a sexy voice on the Hagler/Obelmejias I card.

[Rover]

Does Eric Crumble count?
I know there's a dispute as to whether he's real, but boy the name fits.

Definitely--given his record. I know it's disputed, though, as to whether or not he fought under aliases, whether it's his real name, etc, but damn, the guy was a sure KO for anyone.

Some of the Thai names are strange like 3K-Battery.

[Rover]

Blinky Rominski

Tarzan Tobaru

Panther Koh

Scorpion Ofuso

Ho-Joo

Wongso Suseno

His real name was Richard, right; Scorpion was just a nickname.

Even if it was an alias, it was an alias that didn't mind going down easily.

I know Reggie Strickland sometimes fought under the name Reggie Bose as well. Would you believe I've actually created Reggie Bose as a character and played as him on Fight Night Round 2, frequently losing fights on purpose...which is the only way I CAN lose fights on Fight Night Round 2...well until my character gets super old and past his prime anyhow.

[Rover]

Reggie didn't usually get stopped.

[hofguy]

Blinky Rominski

Tarzan Tobaru

Panther Koh

Scorpion Ofuso

Ho-Joo

Wongso Suseno

It was Binky, not Blinky Rominski. His actual christian name was Zbigniew, so you can see why he called himself Binky. There would be many MC's & announcers who would be thankful he did change his name.

Ashley Whiteboy, Ashton Whiteboy, Bramley Whiteboy, Chris Whiteboy, Clinton Whiteboy, Derrick Whiteboy, Trevor Whiteboy and Fast Black.
