My pal and occasional poster Graham Fearn/Tijuana1 has worked at Nestle for 20+ years and when he was turning pro he had a vision.... Nestle made the cereal Golden Graham’s so he went to his bosses and offered to take the name on in exchange for time off and sponsorship..... it didn’t quite work out.

They did give him half a night shift off once so he got home at 1.00am the night before he boxed..

Jackson Bonsu nickname earlier in his career was "Sugar the Ball Brains".....

[Boxing Prospect]

Natasha "Doesn't Like" Boyes has to be among the best and most unique

[jlh]

Always liked Anthony "Million Dollar" Crolla.

I can only recall Andre Ward of the last 2000 years being nicknamed the "Son of God" - seems unique to me.

Short sighted. They could generate a decent bit of external and internal PR well in excess of the cost to them if they gave him a bit of support. Mind, he was an opponent I suppose, so not like they’re billing him doing big things

Correction

It was ‘Made in Hell’

Which is even. Fvcking. BETTER.

Candy Slim.

Don King's first fighter and a very dangerous heavyweight who deserved a world title crack but success never led to the big purses promised by King and led to the same bitterness that plagued other King heavies in the years to come, with the exception Earnie Shavers for whom King always had a soft spot. Ironically, Merritt broke Earnie's jaw in sparring in 1973 and pushed back the Acorn's showdown with Jerry Quarry at Madison Square Garden, much to the frustration of Jerry, who vented his Irish temper at Archie Moore, the ole Mongoose who trained Shavers at the time. Quarry knew just how dangerous Merritt could be. (Quarry destroyed Shavers in a round in the Garden when they did meet.)
Muhammad Ali also knew but he chased his fears and used the giant Merritt extensively as a sparmate after his boxing licence was restored in 1970. Jeff liked to brag that he knocked off Ali's headgear in one session but Merritt was no Roy "Tiger" Williams, another giant Ali sparmate, who fought better in the gym than he ever did in his fights, Merritt was very much the real thing and comprehensively outscored a previously unbeaten Williams in an eight-rounder early in their respective careers. By 1973, Merritt was knocking on the door for a shot at the world title held by George Foreman after back-to-back slayings of Ernie Terrell and Ron Stander, both of whom had previously challenged for the title. Merritt just needed a few more wins.
Then came an inexplicable first-round defeat at the hands of Ali wannabe Henry Clark in early 1974, a nothing puncher who had previously lost to Merritt, and suddenly Merritt's chaotic lifestyle had cost him any chance. Merritt was a drug-user, a man on the edge, a loose cannon, a candle burning at both ends. Perhaps success scared a man like him. Third-round defeat to Stan Ward followed, a 10-round draw with Billy Daniels and, after years in jail, a nothing win over ancient Al Jones in 1982. Jones was so old he was eliminated by our own Chris Finnegan in the 1968 Olympics.
That was it for Merritt, no spring chicken himself now at 35. He spent the rest of his life hooked on heroin, living with his mother in Las Vegas, where he would show up on big fight nights, bedraggled, broken and begging handouts from King, Manny Steward, Ali, Holmes, from anyone who remembered "Candy Slim."
