Where does the Honey Badger rank in All Time Great Sports Nicknames

I know I’m biased but I say top ten all time (plus it was coined by a TD member).
Who else you got??
The video that started it all. HB Don’t Care!

Considering he got it while in college and is still called HB in the NFL.....I’d say near the top.

Wherever he wants it to be ranked, because the honey badger takes what he wants.

It’s more than just the video but how much TM is like the actual honey badger (including the his hair at the time).
Animal Honey Badger wreaked havoc on the animal kingdom.
Man version wreaked havoc on the football field.

If Joe Medwick's nickname was "Ducky Wucky" that would be up there but everywhere I looked said it was just "Ducky".

Not in top ten. He is competing with Air Jordan/His Airness, Big Dick Nick, the Refrigerator, Big Hurt, Revis Island, the Big Unit, the Mailman, Black Mamba, Big Papi, Beast Mode, Run DMC, Megatron, and The Answer (in no certain order, but all better than HB). I'm sure I left out a lot too
ETA: Sorry LSU fans, Honey Badger isn't that good of a nickname
ETAA: The Admiral, The Great One, "Shoeless" Joe Jackson,
and Tiger (Who TF is Eldrick Woods?)

I always had a soft spot for Lester Conner being nicknamed "The Molester" for his defense when he was with the Bucks.
Honey Badger is a high level nickname. It's in the Chocolate Thunder pantheon, which is Tier 1 for me.

If the nickname is more well known than the real name... Even to the point the real name sounds weird then it's pretty good.
Magic might be the best ever because who the frick is Earvin Johnson?
Dr J
Penny Hardaway
Honey Badger is really good. My Mom wouldn't know who tf Tyrann Mathieu is but she knows the Honey Badger

Cant believe I forgot Magic
Also, the Ice Man, George Gervin, or the Big O, Oscar Robertson.

Basketball has some great ones.
Honey Badger is good, no doubt, and very appropriate, but some of the others listed are all timers.

Pillsbury Throwboy, RIP, is the GOAT sports nickname.

David Ortiz is the one you have a problem with? He is known as Big Papi in multiple countries. How may people know Tyrann as the Honey Badger anymore outside of SEC states?
ETA: I will clarify, that Honey Badger is a great nickname, but nowhere near the top 10 in all sports. Definitely up there in football (top 10), but not in all sports.

My favorite five are
Minister of Defense
The Big Train
The Iron Horse
His Airness
The Big Hurt
Honorable Mention for Uniqueness:
The Admiral & The Meal Ticket

Big Train reminds me of Dick "Night Train" Lane. Also Randy "The Big Unit" Johnson.

The Lawfirm is a great one.
Lots of these are more well known, but that's because the players are better, not necessarily the nickname.
