Best/Worst Monikers...

[Replies: 11]
What are some of the best monikers or tag lines that boxers have used over the years? Some of the worst?

Ali's Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee ranks up there for me.

The All Time Best Moniker belongs to the legendary:

~ Virginia "Ding, Dong" Bell ~

I bet "pug" is the only one who knows who she is/was?

What about the ring side girls??
Since 1990's I remember HBO used to minimize the screen to show the corner and fighter while the beautiful models reminded us of what round it was. How many of you guys like to be reminded again?
