Unsuitable nicknames

by Snakeyman123 Fri 30 Sep 2011, 10:55 pm

The first one that springs to mind is Kelly 'the ghost' Pavlik. The ghost implies that he is elusive but he cOmes forward in straight lines.....any other unsuitable nicknames?

He's pasty and white...

Hopkins - the executioner.

This implies he kills people who have been sentenced to death by the courts. When in fact, he's only a boxer.

Ricky Hatton has also never murdered anyone for money. And Amir Khan is also in no way connected to any royal families.

Manny Pacquiao isn't a big yellow head who runs around eating pills whilst avoiding four Kelly Pavliks.

Joe Calzaghe-pride of Wales? Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey may have something to say about that.

Manny 'Pacman' Pacquiao - He's not a pill munching character who avoids stronger opponents... oh, wait there....

Evander 'The Real Deal' Holyfield has no interest in antiques whatsoever.

Hector "Macho" Camacho - I'm sure when Sinitta sang that song of hers, she didn't have Hector in mind

"He's gotta be...so macho...big and strong... with a penchant for wearing headresses and tassly shorts that look like they've been stolen from my underwear drawer"

Mind you, she also used to date Simon Cowell so I suppose her definition of 'macho' varies wildly from that of the general consensus.

I can't believe we forgot the standout winner of this contest.....

Anthony 'Sugar Ray Clay Jones Jr.' Small.

Audley 'A-Force' Harrison

He certainly wasn't a force

Juan "The Hispanic causing Panic" Lazcano....

Last time i checked he hadn't caused an outbreak of the plague or singlehandedly spread fear and panic across his home country.......

Sure it wasn't 'A-Farce'. That would have made sense

Lennox 'the lion' Lewis. Isn't.

Nothing about Matthew Hatton is 'magic'.

Marco Antonio Barrera had the face of a fully grown man, not a baby. I also highly doubt he ever murdered anyone for a politically or monetary motivated reason.

I think colour isn't a good indicator, as any one who can raise the dead is likely to be able to change the colour of his skin. Let's get Andre to walk across a lake. If he sinks, the claim is probably an exaggeration (or he is out of practice)

We'd have to take him to Saudi Arabia to do that. Or Alabama......

A cocktail?

by Scottrf Mon 03 Oct 2011, 2:23 pm

"A boilermaker is a beer cocktail consisting of a glass of beer and a shot of whisky,[1] tequila, or vodka. The beer is either served as a chaser or is mixed with the liquor. When the beer is served as a chaser, the drink is often called simply a shot and a beer."

Nice info.

I suspect that Jimmy Wilde didn't actually smash his opponents with a hammer, and, to the best of my knowledge, Joe Louis was never convicted of terrorist activity. I can't comment on whether James Toney has OCD.

I saw Ray Mercer stop punching an old lady when she said she'd had enough. Proving that he does, indeed, have mercy.

Chris Eubank was never "Simply the Best". There were always a couple of Americans ranked higher than him.

No, he was the best. Toney was too fat, Nunngot banged up and RJJ was too scared.

by coxy0001 Mon 03 Oct 2011, 4:15 pm

Lets not forget RJJ took the easy way out against Griffin by getting DQ'd when he realised he was going to lose......

"The dark destroyer"..... no wait, ask his mrs about that one (or Truss)
