I like Donovan Razor Ruddock too.

It suits him, so much that he actually looks like he's called Razor rather than Donovan.

I could say the same about James Bonecrusher Smith too.

Such a solid nickname that the completely unrelated Neil Ruddock is also known as Razor rather than Neil because of Donovan Ruddock.

Tommy ‘The Hitman’ Hearns has always been my favourite.


MMA but Wanderlei ‘The Axe Murderer’ Silva. His Brazilian nickname Cachorro Louco also suited him IMO.

Oh I'm sure somebody's mentioned it elsewhere by now, but I forgot my absolute favorite.

"The Ghost with a Hammer in his Hand" Jimmy Wilde.

That nickname is cool as sh*t.
