Was just reading about this guy who is fighting this weekend. That's gotta be one of the worst nicknames, right!?

Found the origin:
"On how he earned his nickname, Rodriguez recalled that when he first started training in the gym, he hadn’t had much experience hitting the boxing mitts. When he first tried it out, he was admittedly slow. That led to being called Slow Mike, but in reality, he didn’t stay slow for long. “Everybody used to call me Slow Mike. Then I got the groove of everything.”
