Paid Members Carbomb Posted September 5, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted September 5, 2017 That Ray Borg one has a nice design though. Wonder if they'll take a second shot at a Giblert one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mole Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Besides the copyright, DJ doesn't want to be known as Might Mouse as it's not exactly some killer name and wants to be known as Mighty now (so not a Reebok mistake). I assume Mighty Mouse was a name he got in school and not something he chose like Iceman, Pitbull, Rush or Notorious etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted September 7, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2017 A nickname should never be something you choose for yourself. That's how you end up with shite like Rory MacDonald's 'Red King' (which I still don't know what the fuck a 'Red King' is supposed to be), cringeworthy wordplay like Kevin 'The Fire' Burns and generic bollocks like 'Pitbull'. A nickname should be something that's bestowed upon you and you deal with the consequences. Like an STD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Demetrious "funny lugs" Johnson has more of a ring to it, and is undoubtedly the nickname he'd have been given had he trained in Glasgow rather than Washington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If some top fighter was nicknamed shitty pants or something in school, then he wouldn't be expected to keep it, why would one of the best fighters in the world want to be called a school nickname. Red King doesn't really make sense Mighty does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted September 7, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 7, 2017 I get all that but when you nickname yourself 'Mighty' Johnson is it any better? Now you sound like a big dick. Pun intended. I just don't get why the nickname has become an issue now. Why now? He's been Mighty Mouse forever. He might be the best fighter in the sport right now, how much more seriously are people going to take him without the 'Mouse'? If, as you say, he didn't want the name then maybe he shouldn't have had Bruce Buffer shout it on telly and PPV every time he fought for fucking years on end. It kind of tends to stick then.

the_mole Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Because he was a company man and probably didn't want to come across as a diva, you could say loads of words before his last name and they would sound dirty or stupid but Johnson is his last name, so he's stuck with that.
