Alright. I wanna hear from y’all about your favorite nicknames a boxer has ever had. I ask that you pick one nickname, make sure it’s a nickname someone else on this thread hasn’t used already, and explain briefly what you like so much about the nickname you picked.
My personal favorite nickname is the Bronze Bomber a.k.a Deontay Wilder.
Whatever your opinions of the boxer himself, I think we can agree this is an excellent nickname.
The name obviously references his explosive power that carried him as far as winning a Bronze medal at the Olympics. It also references Joe Louis (The Brown Bomber) who originates from Wilder’s state of Alabama; I love how this nickname isn’t just homage, but an arguable improvement on the original. And if you disagree, say Brown Bomber and Bronze Bomber out loud to yourself. I ask you, which one really POPS?
Irregardless of all that context behind it, the nickname is just plain awe inspiring. It invokes the image of a bronze statue that’s come to life just to f*** you up.
