Nickname for AJ? Empty Nickname for AJ?

Post by ONETWOFOREVER Sun Oct 12, 2014 11:00 pm

Saw this discussed on another forum couple of years ago.

I still don't think he has a nickname yet unless its AJ which is lame because he has so much potential to go by a real attention grabbing name. Something sinister and menacing.

I will offer up Anthony ''Watford whirlwind'' Joshua

any others?

Seems to be written in to the contract of any commentator or writer that they have to mention it when discussing Joshua, so I'd go with Anthony 'Ahead of where Lennox Lewis was after the same amount of fights' Joshua.

Laugh clap Chris!

Personally, I'm just glad they ditched the 'Peoples Champ' moniker they started out with. Awful, cringeworthy and underserved.

Maybe he could pick something as a tribute to a former great, he throws serious bombs, so how about the Brown Bomber? Also tees up nicely his demolition of Yank hype-job Deontay 'Bronze Bomber' Wilder.

Can't see them pushing a Watford based nickname onto him with them trying to make him the poster boy for British boxing and touring all round the country with him. Wouldn't garner the greatest of fan responses.

Not that I have any better ideas to be fair.

Bruno didn't need a nickname and did OK for himself (they did flirt with calling him "Bomber" for a while but it never stuck)

AJ is up right there with "Double M" (Michael Moorer). But I do like BJ....

Lewis never had one. Flirted with "Lion" and "Tower Of London" but none stuck.

How about "Juggernaught" or "The Beast"?

Not bad. But think, if he wore green trunks and wore a green robe into the ring he could call himself the Green Hornet. Even better, if he wore a green mask like Hopkins does and had two long feelers coming out of his head like an insect.

Then when he stopped an opponent or KO'd them, the commentator could say the opponent had been stung.

Inspirational Atila. I'm a bit down with the kids so I've written a rap for him to use for his ring entrance.

Muhammad, Muhammad Ali
He floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee
When he did that AJ wasn't born yet
He floats like a moth and stings like a hornet

Perhaps someone else a bit down with the kids like Michael Gove could record it for him?
