I think the person with the worst nickname in boxing right now has to be
a fighter named Tommy LaManna. He calls himself "cornflake". Really?
Really? If he was from Iowa, maybe it would make a little sense, but he
is from New Jersey.

I suppose, as cereals go, he could have worse ones. "Fruit Loop" and
"Coco Puff" come to mind.

If he was a hooker he'd be called Trix...

Tim Howard used his keyboard to write :
I met a guy called "Hands Of Feathers".

Tim Howard formulated the question :
Yes a boxer it was a nickname others called him although we have to
remember that he had the balls to climb through the ropes and he gets
my respect even if he was not a very good fighter.

That was Jamie Howe. His nickname was The Featherman and he had no
business fighting Larry Holmes as evidenced by his 1 round TKO loss.
Howe fought most of his career as a light heavyweight. He was a
career 18-14-1. His last fight was in 2003. He fought Holmes in
1991.

1st round KO? Business is business, long on details, short on results.
