Nicknames that didn't fit

that fourth fight was about as meaningful as leonard-duran 3.

 

Izzy's overall offense and especially his left hook were "Magnifico". It's an appropriate nickname.

 

I'm with Neil on this one.

 

Considering you're the pud drinker who dropped it in here, we wouldn't expect you'd get so prissy. Nothing worse than a prissy pud drinker.

 

:shadow:

 

First one I though of. Absolute joke of a nickname.

MTF

 

REED's "Donnybrooking" This 1...

THE LAST Nickname that Should B Applied to Israel Vazquez is "Magnifico"...That's a Nickname for Fighters w/ Degrees of FINESSE & ATHLETICISM...A Fighter that's "Pretty" to Watch...While Not a Crude, Face 1st Brawler, Vazquez Clearly LACKED Finesse...So Ramonza's JUSTIFIED in Listing Vazquez is this Particular Thread...

On the Other Hand, the 4th Marquez-Vazquez Bout WAS Meaningless, as Neil has Stated...Vazquez had as Much Business Being in a Prizefight as Chavez Sr. Did, when his Eye Opened Up the 1st Time Dela TOUCHED him, in their Initial Confrontation...


REED:mj:

 

I was only agreeing with Neil about the 4th Marquez/Vazquez bout.

I'm with you on the nickname. :bears:

 

Eric Morel - Hands of Stone

I think Vazquez is magnificent to watch. It's so damn subjective, I don't know how anyone could argue against it without being perfectly oblivious to the fact their preferences are strictly personal.

It'd be like me saying Ali shouldn't be nick-named the greatest because well he's too defensive and I happen to think the greatest needs to refer to a more offensive fighter who has better punching power.

 

Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik.

He was pale, and the similarities ended there.

 

That's WHY he was Called "The Ghost"...When Asked Why he was Given the Moniker, Pavlik ALWAYS Said, "Because I'm White"...



REED:Lok:

 

Someone gave Guzman that nickname ("Little Tyson") strictly due to his facial expression and demeanor on the way to the ring. People commented that it reminded them of Tyson, and the nickname was born.

Had(-s) nothing at all to do w/ the way he fights.

 

ghosts are slow? Have trouble with southpaws?? Easy to hit?? Pack a good 1-2?


Eric "the Ghost" Esche :scratcher: ::

Just saying.
