What about this one; JITTERBUG Smith, who got defeated in New Orleans in 1958. Imagin his foot-work

Mickey Mouse!

There's a Bunch:

Tulip Turnseed
Greatest Crawford
Handsome Cat Robinson
Chubby Steele
Poor Boy Brown
Boston Blackie
Cornbread Williams
Sweet Potato
Shine Forbes
Fast Black
Easy Boy Lake
Easy Micheal
Tar Baby
Muhammad Wee Wee(He's in the 1975 Ring Record Book!)
Muhammad Ali Smith
Max Baer Smith
Ronald Reagan Medina
Him(Horst Geisler)
Long Tom Sawyer
Harvey Wallbanger
Lamont Lovelady

My two favorites are found in the record of undefeated David Hilton Cohen. Cohen KO'd two fellows named Dick Powell and Robert Taylor! For those of you too young to remember, both Powell and Taylor were 1940's movie stars...kind of strange.

The Island Fighters had lots of "oddball" Names..the list is endless

Imagine having to admit that you got beaten by some guy named Snowflakes:

Theodore Bonzali-WYATT EARP?!!!, TKO 3, L.A. Aug, 7, 1958
:)

A heavyweight of the 60's - Joe Palooka, NIGERIA !!!
:)

Buck Smith once fought a guy named Charlie ColdWater

It's always funny when people use either other boxer's names, or famous people's names (or even movie characters), like:

Cassius Clay Horne
Jaime "Rocky" Balboa
Rocky Balboa
The tons of Mohommed an dMuhammed Ali's, albeit if they are their real names...
etc etc

I just saw a guy on the fight schedule named:
Kiatchai 13 Coins

Harry Bobo and King Kong

When Ever Hammer meets Johnny Casebeer, he'll probably have to lean on Frank Fencepost.
Tulip Turnipseed has a new addition to the family, Hyacinth Turnipseed.

Tiger Flowers.

That name perfectly illustrates the brutality and beauty of our beloved sport.

I loved this thread and needed to add Stanley Skinkiss

There were two brothers whose last name was Outhouse. Can't remember just when they fought.

I knew a prelim fighter in the 50's named "Jackie O'Cohen...the circumsized Irishman."

Which reminds me of a nickname...wasn't Johnny Dundee (featherweight champion around 1920) called "The Scotch Wop"?

How bout Johnny Paycheck or Wilton Hotel

I once read an article about a smaller division fighter nicknamed Hairpin Harry, because he was so long and thin, but I can't remember his last name. His photo looked as if he could be used as a pipe cleaner, but as i recall he had a pretty good record.

Boxers called "Bunny" (Sterling, Johnson - recent ones)......WHY Bunny??

Phil

I just entered a bout for a 1980s Mexican light-heavyweight named Idi Amin Hernandez.

"Juke Box", Zimbabwean heavyweight in the mid 80's

Just came to think of these two African fighters as well:

Captain Marvel and Proud Kilimanjaro.

This is the amateurs, so it might not count. One year that I fought in the Dallas Golden Gloves, and in one division, Sharman Brown lost to Roosevelt Jones, who beat Hollywood Jones. In kickboxing circles in Dallas, there was a group of fighters- Freddy Brazil, Rabbit Brown and Santae Wilson.

I don't know what's wrong with me. Just took a look at some older posts in here, and with all the daffy names when I got to Arthur Sithole I started laughing like an idiot and I still am as I type this. Sorry, just imagining him in a restaurant and hearing the speaker say "Table is ready for Arthur Sithole."

"Is there a Sithole in the house?"

"......and as we gather here to say our final farewel to Arthur Sithole..."


STOP ME...SOMEBODY PLEASE STOP ME!!!!!





"operator, I'd like the phone number of a Mr. Arthur Sithole..."

..I CAN'T STOP MYSELF!!!!!
