Is there a nickname that you’ve always thought would be a good one for a boxer, but you haven’t seen any boxers (or at least prominent, noteworthy boxers) use?
I got two ideas off the top of my head.
The first idea spawns from my disappointment of a lack of boxers from Pittsburgh other than Harry Greb. (I’ve lived most of my life in West PA, so once I became a boxing fan, I’ve always kinda wanted to see a boxer repping Pittsburgh).
The Pittsburgh Pulverizer would be an intimidating nickname. It’s a very old school kind of nickname, if you know what I mean.
Another great nickname would be the Magician. That’s the type of nickname that tells you a lot about the guy it belongs to. Someone as slick and elusive as Willie Pep, Pernell Whitaker or Loma; now you see him, now you don’t. But he’s also incredibly flamboyant and loves to put on a show, like Roy Jones, Naseem Hamed or Sugar Ray Robinson.
