Ridiculous/Funny/Stupid Boxer Nicknames

Eric Morel : Little Hands of Steel... Hilarious when you know the fighter...

 

Henry 'Sugar Poo' Buchanan

 

ask fred norwood about that

 

What happened between them?

 

There was a guy named Cecil Coffee, & I heard a fight where he was announced, in earnest by the Ring caller in a Michael Buffer-esque tone, as, "Cecil 'Instaaaaaant' Coffee!"

::

 

Well didn't he go by Freddy "Li'l Hagler" Norwood? I guess they were both bald southpaws at least.

 

I always hated this name.

That asshole Pedro Fernandez from ringtalk claims he came up with it! :Chainsaw:

 

"El Cepillo" is kind of a bizarre nickname..

 

marvelous couldnt have been pleased by this

 

Boston Tar Baby.

 

There are some disputes as to what that moniker means.

 

Bobby "Boogaloo" Watts is a funny nickname

 

Well at least it's a step down from his previous claim of having invented boxing.

 

Tony Thornton was also known as The Punching Postman, I think.

 

Oh yeah, "L'il Hagler".

 

Willie "The Worm" Munroe.

 

edited for accuracy.

 

Sam Hill was the punching Police man. Not postman.

 

Not a nickname though. His nickname was "Mount" and he actually legally changed his name from Lance to Goofi. So it's even worse than a nickname.

 

whitaker snorted cocaine so he could stay up and drink more. he never did crack, you noodle necked nimrod.

 

are you people allowed to say nimrod?

 

:jaw:

 

Tony Thornton was the "Punching Postman"...


REED:cheer:

 

Owen "What the Heck" Beck
Darnell "The Ding-a-ling Man" Wilson

 

Half man, Half Amazing. Has to be one of the worst.

 

ah, stand corrected

 

Personally, I've always felt Ruslan Chageav's monicker as "White Tyson" is completely inane.

 

Aaron Pryor had a crack addiction

I've never heard of Whitaker being a crackhead... a cocaine addict, yes

 

Wasnt Tony Thornton the Punching Postman?

 

yes
