Why is Jeison Rosario nicknamed "Banana"? Alexis Argüello had the nickname "The Explosive Thin Man" and that is quite unimaginative I guess. A quick internet search provided information about an English man who had a job in garbage collection who became a boxer only to be known as "The Boxing Binman". Apparently, Muhammad Ali gave quite a few of his opponents nicknames, and one of them, Earnie Shavers, actually adopted his given nickname for the rest of his career.

Why does Va-SILLY Lose-a-chenko have to "download data"? Why is Tony Bellew "technically better" than Usyk? So many questions, so little time.
In the United States, particularly years ago, particularly in rural areas (like Omaha), the oldest boy was always nicknamed Bud and the oldest daughter was nicknamed Sis. My dad was always called Bud by his family and friends. His oldest sister was always referred to as Sis by family and friends. I even called her Aunt Sis. And all my cousins called my dad Uncle Bud. In old TV shows, the character who is the oldest brother is often called Bud by members of the family. It doesn't happen so much anymore. But it used to be fairly common. If you know a guy who is called "Bud" by family, he's probably the oldest boy.
Dominicans believe bananas make them strong. Or something like that, the commentators explained it during his fight with Charlo.
Not the most memorable ring moniker is it? I mean we've had The Hitman, Sugar Ray, Iron Mike, Marvelous, Pretty Boy Floyd, The body snatcher, The Monster and now Bud. I never really gave any thought into his nickname probably because it was so "meh", it's up there with AJ for most little thought given to a ring moniker.
Is it technically a nickname? I always thought it was short for something, maybe one of his middle names.
I was just gonna say the same thing. For example Marlon Brando's nickname when he was little was Bud and he is from Omaha, Nebraska.
