A Word to the Professional Boxing World
From this day forward, boxers are forbidden to use the following nicknames.
"Sugar" Just because you're named Ray doesn't mean you're limited to this nickname.
"The Hit Man" We get it. Boxers hit people. Professional killers "hit" people. Enough already.
"Pretty Boy" Guys named Floyd, see "Sugar".
I expect this to take effect immediately and I will expand upon this list as necessary.

I'd have to give points to a boxer named Floyd using the nickname "pink". Sure, it's somewhat obvious, but how many fighting people actually have the balls to call themselves "pink"?

That's why I've always wondered why so many folks use "Pretty Boy". It seems about as masculine as "Pink"

I hear you screaming! You would think they could be more original. Hey, how about just using your own damn name and that is it! Let your fist do the talking.

How about "pink sugar fluff"...
err...
hmm

Actually I'd be fine with any of those.

Actually, if I were a boxer, I'd probably choose some kind of name that suggested power and vitality...like "The Viagra Kid".
Either that or "Lumpy"

Other activities have unoriginal nicknames too. O.J. McDuffie (or however you spell his last name) springs instantly to mind.
What I love best is poker. I want to change my name to Phil so I can be more intimidating at the poker table. Or Doyle. (But not Phil Doyle, which just sounds like smart engine maintenance.)

they should forget about names like Sugar and Pretty Boy and use nicknames like "Bonebreaker" and "Ear Destroyer". it's sure a lot of intimidating. ;)

I remember watching boxing on ABC without having to pay for the matches. Saw Ali and other greats and actually enjoyed it. Most of my youth I found boxing a ridiculous sport. IN later years I really appreciate seeing a couple of guys pummeling each other.
Welcome to the party, BeachGirl. How'd you come to find the place? I'll check out your blog later & say HI. LMK if you want to do a link exchange.
I like names like Lumpy & Ear Destroyer. lol
