The Lollipop Cowboy and The Freckled Wonder - 2 of the Worst Boxing Nicknames Ever
Just My Humble Opinion
I'm lucky my grandpa gave me my nickname and I like it. But what if you are in the public's eye and you are given a nickname that stays with you throughout your whole career like these five boxing professionals.
Maybe they gave them to their selves or maybe they didn't I don't know but personally I wouldn't want to be known as "Goofi", "Winky", "The Lollipop Cowboy", especially "Made in Hell" or even "the Freckled Wonder".
5. Robert Fitzsimmons "the Freckled Wonder"
I would think that everyone would be focusing on his freckles and wondering if he's going to win.
4. Jorge "The Lollipop Cowboy" Arce
I personally think that this nickname would make a professional boxer look very childish and weak.
3. Lance "Goofi" Whitaker
The first thing that comes to mind is the cartoon character goofy. He must be or have been very entertaining and funny to watch.
2. Ronald Lamont "Winky" Wright
I wonder if this professional boxer paid much attention to his opponent. I bet he was a very big flirt winking at all the pretty ladies sitting at ring side.
1. Roman "Made in Hell" Karmazin
Now this professional boxer must have been ruthless and cruel if he was given his nickname but if he gave it to himself I believe that he wanted to intimidate his opponents.
Robert Fitzsimmons "the Freckled Wonder", Jorge "The Lollipop Cowboy" Arce, Lance "Goofi" Whitaker, Ronald Lamont "Winky" Wright and Roman "Made in Hell" Karmazinsome are and were professional boxers they trained hard and took beatings for a chance to take home a large purse.

Post a Commenti love boxing and mixed martial arts. my favorite is matt horwich, whose nickname is "suave". i absolutely hate that name and it doesn't suit his personality at all. he's also been called "the fighting hippy".
Good job on this Kelli. I love that name the Freckled Wonder. I have freckles. Just think, I might have liked my freckles a lot better if they called me the freckled wonder, instead of ... oh nevermind. LOL
