Johnny 'the entertainer' Nelson

seems ironic as almost all of his career provided me with no entertainment at all.

One was called "Fancy Pants". Bit camp but not too bad. It got worse.

Another was called Pedro "The Pedro" and then his surname. He literally used his first name as his nickname. Unbelievable.

The best one though, which I think was #1 on the list, the guy called himself "Ho Bag"

They are fvcking terrible.

I always had a soft spot for Juan Lazcano, aka the Hispanic Causing Panic.

Jess Harding had a bad one, 'the potters bar terminator'. I think it lasted for one fight, he was given it by Barry Hearn in the lead up to the fight with Gary mason. Mason destroyed him and although Jess fought on, he never used that moniker again.

"The rickster"

Absolutely no effort at all went into that.

"Real gone kid"

I know it's from a deacon blue song but what does that even mean?

What's he aiming for with that alias?

Yeah, I've always been really irritated by that too.

In boxing I think it's Zelfa 'Brown Flash' Barrett

In MMA it's Ian 'Uncle Creepy' McCall

This wins by default because Paul Smith is a mong.

Or how about the same but in reverse and using the surname as in "Hughie Lewis 'Fists of' Fury" ?

I actually quite like this one !

I seem to remember Willie Limmond when he fought Eric Morales having the nickname 'Hands of steel' or something like that lol.

Very inappropriate alias there! While we're on the subject of boring fighters 'the hitter' Witter was also a weak effort!

Who was that American fighter nicknamed 'Sugar Poo'? He must have the shittest alias. At least from a literal standpoint.

I remember watching a tv interview and the interviewer asked Carl Thompson where he got his nickname CAT (probably expecting some reply about fast reflexes or something).

To which Tjompson replied, err my middle name is Adrian ......
