Funny names in the boxing world that were given by other people within the boxing world

Post by rhino222 »

I can remember Naz referred to Billy Hardy as Billy Hardly

Don King (I think)described Frank Maloney as the pugilistic pygmy

Lennox called Riddick Bowe ....Ridiculous Bowe

:clap: :clap:

Rhino named our good pal Mark Potter .. mark “hot dog” potter because we caught him stuffing his face at York Hall with hot dogs.

Rhino made him wear a t shirt with a hot dog on it to one of his fights

It's really childish and didn't require any intelligence but Amir Khan calling Kell Brook, Kelly Brook always tickled me.

Still not a patch on Tyson Furys names for David Price & Tony Bellew from that amazingly funny channel 5 interview.

Yes mate, he gave us about 45 minutes of his time, he has us captivated but we did manage to wind him up a bit.

That was a classic Tyson Fury clip. questioning Prices plumbing skills the insinuating that Bellew and Price were perhaps cleaning out each others back passages.... :clap: :clap:

Didn't mind Hearn calling Shelly Finkel 'Shirley Winkle' extremely childish and not a way to negotiate a fight, as was proven, still amusing all the same.

I laughed after either the Martin or Brezeale fight, AJ called Finkle ‘Shirley’ very clearly when being asked about Wilder.

:lol: yeah they lasted two shows with Eurosport before the Kinahan stuff came out, think they soldiered on until late 2022, recall seeing Jazza Dickens vs Lerato Dlamini on a Probellum stream, after that everyone lost their jobs and Sam Jones deleted all trace of his involvement with any of it, but we know.
