Might have been already posted but Motor City Kobra for Thomas Hearns is my favorite. He somehow had the face, personality and style to go with it.

I also like the more poetic nicknames like "The Old Mongoose" for Archie Moore and "The Cinderella Man" for Jimmy Bradock

and, to venture into the bizarre for the moment, that journeyman American heavyweight with the moniker 'The Southern Disaster'
Dominic Guinn I think is the Southern Disaster if my memory serves me, Tim Tzuyu has a good one that I like which is the 'Soultaker'

At one point they tried to give a new persona to Lance Whittaker and so called him "Goofi" and figured they'd have this 6'8' whatver intimidating looking hw contender play off.....I dunno, cuteness and silliness?
I swear this happened kids, ask your dad, he may remember, though to this day it just feels like I used to drink way too much.
So that's my vote for best all time: Lance "Goofi" (with an i please, we don't need to get sued here) Whittaker.

My then cat got run over and his pelvis got broke, the vet fixed him and when we got him back, my father-in-law called him pancake.
