    Just remembered two that I'm sure everyone on this site probably has seen fight. Especially if you were around in the 80's, they were on CBS and ESPN All the time.
    "Rockin" Robin Blake.
    Tyrone " The Butterfly" Crawley.

    Rockin Robin Rocks! Great add! I wonder if Mr. Blake used Bobby Day as his walk out music.

    Apologies if already mentioned: -

    “The Master Blaster” Lester Ellis

    “Iceman” John Scully

    “Fat Willie” Meehan

    “The Boston Gob (sailor)” Jack Sharkey

    Fred “The Plasterer (vocation)” Fulton

    “The Baby Faced Killer” Jimmy McLarnin

    “The Ambling Alp” or “Satchel Feet” Carnera

    “Snort’n’” Kenny Norton

    “Thunder from Down Under” Used for at least Tszyu I think and maybe Jimmy Thunder also

    “TNT” Tony Tucker and Tony Tubbs. Must’ve been TNT made by the Acme company.

    “Iron Balls” McGinty. Oops. My bad, don’t know how that name got there, it belongs to another list.

    Ok here is my professional analysis.

    Iron Balls sounds better than bursted testicals but this is a No.

    TNT sounds like an old rock song for some reason..AC /DC ? Still also a No.

    Thunder from Down Under? Really Pugguy? Thats a show in vegas and NO! Horrible nickname and I think you know why. Lol!

    Ill say this "The Boston Gob" is up for deliberation.

    Until against Mike Tyson in March 1987, Bonecrusher Smith became Bonehugger Smith.
