Editor Ric was adding bouts to the database yesterday when he came across this guy named Noodles Knox. I don't think I could train properly knowing my opponents name was Noodles Knox.
Can anyone else think of some strange or funny names of boxers in the past?
P.S. Noodles Knox won.

Just off the top of my head, these two come to mind: Battling Bozo and Popper Stopper.

I added the one bout I have for him.
