i was reading about paddy fitzpatrick and thought now that's a name ,no ones gonna wonder where paddy's from or what sport he might be involved with . i always found the name slugger o'toole as a great boxing name ,what other names are great boxing names ..
ps i'm a plastic paddy myself so maybe that's why i like the irish names ....

Slugger was a black lad though wasn’t he? Before my time.

Slugger O’Toole is now the name of a big political website in Northern Ireland now.

I am 90% certain there was a boxer in the 80s called 'Lobster Thermidor'

I think Tap Tap Makhatini if memory serves well

Jack Dempsey fought Porky Dan Flynn, Boston Bearcat and Chief Gordon.

And the Brit contender - Kid Galahad.

There was a 'Faintin' Phil Scott who was a British heavyweight who boxed on America I think and won many a fight by disqualification - by leaping up during fights and going over when he was hit low....

He never properly lived that one down.
