Seven Hilarious Boxing Nicknames

Quirky nicknames and sports go hand and hand It seems as though every successful professional athlete has at least one alias given by fans or others in his profession. Boxing would be one of the sports that has more than a few...interesting nicknames tied to some of it's stars.

Bobby "No Dice" Chacon.
For some reason, the nickname "no dice" made me think Mr. Chacon was a fighter with a lot of potential, but never really made a impact. Turns out he was a two time world champ, and has been inducted in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Guess the term "No Dice" was directed toward his opponents. As well as casual fans who make silly assumptions without doing a little research before hand.

Darnell "The Ding-a-Ling Man" Wilson.
Obviously this one had to be included in the list because it's basically a nickname you'd expect an adult film star to have. If you don't at lest giggle at this one, you are uptight and probably need a nap.

Davarryl "Touch of Sleep" Williamson.
I guess The Sandman was already taken? I'd imagine the Touch of Sleep would involve that weird guy at your office party latching himself to your shoulder, and droning on and on about the time he lost his contact lens while sitting his his hatchback.

Jerry "Wimpy" Halstead.
If you allow people to pace this unfortunate distinction upon your person, There must be lucrative marketing opportunities around the corner. I'm thinking an ad campaign with trash bags. Wimpy wimpy wimpy...

Juan "The Hispanic Causing Panic" Lazcano.
Rhyming nicknames always crack me up. Ample amounts of bravado are needed when proclaiming ones self as The Hispanic Causing Panic. I once introduced myself as Christopher "Bravely Attempting To Choke Down This Gravy" Jones. It didn't go over that well for some reason.

Owen "What the Heck" Beck
Corny. It's so corny, I have the hankering for tortilla chips, creamed corn, corn bread and Cornish Game Hen. Why couldn't his nickname be "Cut the Check"? Better yet, "Hit the Deck", because that's what he did a lot as a pro.

Eric Esch, aka "Butterbean".
I remember watching a professional wrestling pay per view as a kid(don't remember why they had a boxing match at a wrestling event)) and thinking to myself "They call this big boxer Butterbean? Looks more like pork and beans to me." Seeing Butterbean beat the tar out of wrestlers using the sheer power of his gilatines gut made me think twice about saying such hurtful things like that out loud if I ever ended up in a dark alley with a rotund silhouette in the distance.
