The Juggernaut - This nickname suits Joe Joyce to a tee.

He is virtually a human juggernaut.

Did he use this too at some stage of his career? "Mi vida loca" is the one he's remembered for.

Thanks for the correction.

Old Man brain recall is quite erratic at best. :neutral:

James "Lights Out" Toney was fairly intimidating. Quite rightly so.

As was Nigel "the Dark Destroyer" Benn who left behind a path of destruction on his route to the top.

No fan of Bob Dylan should ever forget the jailed Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, the man the authorities came to blame acc to Bob.

The "Clones Cyclone" suited Barry McGuigan well due to his early frenetic non stop style.

Carl "the cobra" Froch never made much sense to me as it did with Tommy Hearns. Froch was certainly tough and durable but no one could call him super slick or quick.

David "Haymaker" Haye was fair enough as he could certainly bang, but Herol "Bomber" Graham was a little misleading.

Herol was one of the slickest boxers to ever grace a British ring, almost too slick for his own good.
