About 'ring ling'|Etsy Featured Seller: Ring-A-Ling by Beth








Nicknames               for               athletes               should               be               cool,               intimidating,               or               awesomely               descriptive.

This               is               especially               true               for               boxers.

Men               like               Thomas               "The               Hitman"               Hearns,               "Smokin"               Joe               Frasier,               "Sugar"               Ray               Robinson,               Evander               "The               Real               Deal"               Holyfield,               or               even               "Iron"               Mike               Tyson               had               impressive               nicknames.

These               nicknames               are               memorable               and               they               fit               the               boxer's               fighting               style.

Some               other               boxers,               though,               have               adopted               nicknames               that               make               you               wonder:               "What               were               they               thinking?"               Although               they               may               have               had               impressive               records               or               skills               in               the               ring,               the               unfortunate               nicknames               tend               to               detract               from               their               careers.

Owen               "What               the               Heck"               Beck               
               This               really               is               not               a               great               nickname.

The               fact               that               it               rhymes               is               about               all               it               has               going               for               it.

For               a               fighter               with               a               promising               amateur               start               you               have               to               wonder               who               came               up               with               this               nickname.

The               phrase               sounds               like               something               from               Mayberry.

It's               hard               to               believe               this               nickname               is               attached               to               a               boxer               from               Jamaica.
               Darnell               "Ding-A-Ling               Man"               Wilson
               This               is               another               "what               were               they               thinking?"               nickname.

Makes               me               think               of               a               Simpsons               episode               where               a               little               kid               tries               to               sing               that               not               so               classic               Chuck               Berry               song               entitled,               "My               Ding-a-Ling".

Given               the               fact               that               the               dictionary               meanings               for               this               term               are               penis,               ponytail,               or               someone               who's               stupid,               odd,               freakish,               or               eccentric,               you               really               have               to               wonder               what               definition               he               was               hoping               to               be               associated               with               when               he               adopted               this               ridiculous               nickname.
               "Big"               George               Foreman
               George               Foreman               is               a               great               boxer               with               an               impressive               record,               yet               it               seems               the               best               nickname               anyone               could               come               up               with               was               "big".

Maybe               not               so               surprising               from               a               man               who               named               his               5               sons               and               2               of               his               daughters               George.

You               would               think               his               manager               could               have               some               up               with               something               more               memorable               and               intimidating               than               "big".
               Lance               "Goofi"               Whitaker
               This               seems               to               be               the               result               of               an               unsuccessful               stunt               by               a               boxer's               manager               to               generate               interest               and               publicity               for               Whitaker's               career.

Although               there               was               some               interest               it               was               mostly               of               the:               "that's               the               stupidest               thing               I've               ever               heard               variety".

Again               you               have               to               wonder               what               was               the               intended               meaning               of               this               nickname.

For               most               people               the               first               thing               that               comes               to               mind               is               the               totally               inept               Disney               character               by               that               name               or               the               use               of               goofy               as               a               general               insult               for               stupidity               or               clumsiness,               neither               of               which               are               good               qualities               for               a               boxer.
               Pernell               "Sweet               Pea"               Whitaker
               This               nickname               brings               to               mind               the               baby               from               the               Popeye               cartoons               or               a               flowering               plant.

Either               way               it               is               not               an               intimidating               image               for               such               a               talented               boxer.

For               someone               who               won               an               Olympic               Gold               Medal               and               went               to               become               World               Champion               in               four               weight               classes               this               is               a               pathetic               nickname.
               Other               Bad               Boxing               Nicknames
               Laila               "She               Bee               Stinging"               Ali               
               Eric               "Butterbean"               Esch               
               "Boxing"               Andrew               Maynard               
               Antonio               "The               Patch"               Margarito               
               "Lollipop               Cowboy"               Jorge               Arce               
               John               "The               Quiet               Man"               Ruiz               
               Robert               "Ruby               Robert               the               Freckled               Wonder"               Fitzsimmons
               Many               athletes               are               known               by               colorful               and               memorable               nicknames               and               boxers               in               particular               can               have               some               creative               and               cool               nicknames.

Unfortunately               for               some               of               the               boxers               listed               above,               the               most               memorable               thing               about               their               careers               is               the               unfortunate               nicknames               they               used.
