"Jukebox Timebomb"
"Shako Mamba"
"Kid Chicken"
Are the first two actual names or nicknames?
Was Kid Chicken any good?

Is Lamont Lovelady the sexiest boxer name ever?
I cracked up when I saw Tompkins' pronounciation of it in a sexy voice on the Hagler/Obelmejias I card.

Does Eric Crumble count?
I know there's a dispute as to whether he's real, but boy the name fits.

Definitely--given his record. I know it's disputed, though, as to whether or not he fought under aliases, whether it's his real name, etc, but damn, the guy was a sure KO for anyone.

His real name was Richard, right; Scorpion was just a nickname.

Even if it was an alias, it was an alias that didn't mind going down easily.
I know Reggie Strickland sometimes fought under the name Reggie Bose as well. Would you believe I've actually created Reggie Bose as a character and played as him on Fight Night Round 2, frequently losing fights on purpose...which is the only way I CAN lose fights on Fight Night Round 2...well until my character gets super old and past his prime anyhow.

It was Binky, not Blinky Rominski. His actual christian name was Zbigniew, so you can see why he called himself Binky. There would be many MC's & announcers who would be thankful he did change his name.
