Coolest nicknames in sports.

I'm not sure if this were ever official beyond being a Chris Bermanism but former San Diego Chargers RB Eric "Sleeping With" Bieniemy.

And I hate mentioning anything pro Not re Dam but "The Four Horsemen" was pretty clutch too.
 
Muhammad Ali - "The Louisville Lip" or "The Greatest (of all-time)"

Nobody talked trash like he did.

He backed it up too!

Not to hijack the thread but his "Song about Me" before the Liston fight was the most spectacular arrangement of words for the purpose of trash talk I've ever heard....

Clay comes out to meet Liston, And Liston starts to retreat If Liston goes back any further He'll end up in a ringside seat. Clay swings with a left,
Clay swings with a right, Look at young Cassius Carry the fight. Liston keeps backing But there's not enough room It's a matter of time.
There, Clay lowers the boom. Now Clay swings with a right, What a beautiful swing, And the punch raises the bear, Clear out of the ring.
Liston is still rising And the ref wears a frown, For he can't start counting, Till Sonny comes down. Now Liston disappears from view. The crowd is getting frantic, But our radar stations have picked him up. He's somewhere over the Atlantic. Who would have thought When they came to the fight That they'd witness the launching Of a human satellite? Yes, the crowd did not dream
When they laid down their money That they would see A total eclipse of the Sonny! I am the greatest!

"A total eclipse of the Sonny!":rofl::bowdown::bowdown:

"Iron Mike" Tyson
 
I'm a big fan of Darryl "Chocolate Thunder" Dawkins and anything Shaq-related.

I'm actually surprised that it took until the 3rd page for someone to mention Shaq,which is a nickname itself that spawned numerous others,like,The Big Aristotle and The Big Shaqeezie.

And speaking of b-ball,what about Grand Ma Ma,Larry Johnson,Big Country Bryant Reeves,and how can anyone forget The Answer Allen Iverson?

There was once a rugby player called Martin Offiah who was a very fast runner.

There was once a movie called Chariots of Fire about very fast runners.
