The Top Five Worst Boxing Nicknames Ever

There are some really funny nicknames when it comes to the sports world with some being cleaver and some just being bad. Boxing is one of the many sports where being good in the ring does not mean you are good at giving yourself a nickname. If you are looking for some of the worst boxing nicknames in history, you might want to think about some of these bad nicknames.

The first boxer with a really bad nickname is Darnell Wilson. Darnell gave himself the nickname "Ding a ling man" Wilson, which is pretty bad. Not only is this just stupid but it is very inappropriate for the younger boxing fans out there who might be wondering what that means.

Jerry "Wimpy" Halstead is another boxer who probably should have thought of another nickname while being a professional boxer. I thought the point of boxing was to show that you are tough, and having a nickname such as Jerry "Wimpy" Halstead just makes your opponent laugh at you. Although I do think it could be a good idea since maybe your nickname might make people underestimate who you are and your skills.

Donny "The Golden Boy" LaLonde is another very bad nickname to give yourself if you are a professional boxer. Having a name like Donny "The Golden Boy" LaLonde just makes you seem like you have nothing going for you but your ego. A nickname like this would be sure to get you hit in boxing and is sure to get your opponent a good laugh before the match.

Eric "Butterbean" Esch is a person who has one of the worst nicknames no matter what sport it is in. Calling yourself Eric "Butterbean" is just going to encourage people to hit you and also make them think you are weak or really overweight.

Franz "The White Buffalo" Botha also makes my list of the worst nicknames in boxing history. Letting yourself be called Franz "The White Buffalo" Botha just makes you seem racist since you feel the need to let people know your race. Being white does not make you any better in the boxing ring and it is kind of frowned upon making mention of whether you are white or black when that does not even matter. Franz "The White Buffalo" Botha is also a bad nickname because the fact I am sure a lot of black people were going to be sure to hit him extra hard for such a bad nickname.
