'The Mexicutioner' is actually a pretty good one.

While home for Thanksgiving, I learned that my great uncle "Kid" Julian Esparza was a Pacific Coast featherweight boxing champ back in the 20's. There are too many 'Kids' and 'Sugars' in boxing. I think getting punched in the head is deleterious to creative nicknaming.

Maybe he fought my great grandpa Kid Santi! I think he was a welterweight though...
