I can understand a boxer being called a bum but where did the whole thing about cab drivers start? And why? I keep hearing that often that someone like Deontay Wilder fought a cab driver.
Wilder avoids cab drivers. Some of them have big forearms. He'd much prefer an accountant, preferably from a single storey practice, nearing retirement age.
Where did all of these analogies for bums come from actually? Tomato can, cab driver, shoe salesman, etc
I guess it's not that weird, because in reality there are quite a number of journeymen that actually have jobs like cabdrivers, delivery men and pavers and just let themselves get beat up in the ring for a quick buck. The tomato can anology probably just came from the fact that those are pretty easy to dent or even smash. Or that
