* The ''[[Rocky (film)|Rocky]]'' series featured a few. For example, Apollo Creed was The Master of Disaster, The King of Sting, The Dancing Destroyer, and The Count of Monte Fisto.
** And of course, Rocky "The Italian Stallion" Balboa himself. Not to mention that "Rocky" is itself a nickname for Robert, and a common one for fighters (Marciano, Graziano)
