There are Racehorses with 'Hurricane' and 'Whirlwind' in their names for the other.

A possible?

[aelmpvw]

thought mickman was looking for another sport with these nicknames?
could be boxing?

[Mamyalynne]

That's how I read it too.

[Mamyalynne]

One here

[elliemay1]

I thought he meant one sport involving Whirlwind V Hurricane.

[aelmpvw]

terry downes was known as whirwind but he wouldn't have taken on rubin carter ...

[Mamyalynne]

Quite a few 'Whirlwind' boxers, it's tying them together though.

[elliemay1]

If that is the case surely he would have said 'sports' instead of 'sport'

[emmie]

i still think it's snooker.

[elliemay1]

So do I. The clue is in the title!

[mallyh]

football the whirlwinds v the hurricanes ?

[elliemay1]

I see it that mickman knows e.g that Hurricane is the nickname of a certain snooker player but he's not sure if 'whirlwind' is also a snooker player's nickname

No no no, definitely sailboarding or combat kites, snooker's far too out there.
