    In this context of the boxers nickname:

    El Pollo means The Chicken. It does not mean The Poulty.

    Would you like to borrow a shovel so you can carry on digging this hole or shall we leave it now?

    Lance Whitaker changing his nickname from Mount to Goofi was awful. Worst change ever.

    So more like chicken, duck and turkey? Should have gone with Turducken as the nickname.

    Based on his record he should have changed his first name from young to sorry.

    When Valenzuela refers himself as "El Pollo", he means himself as "The Poultry".

    It means more like "The Poultry", when he refers himself as "El Pollo".

    Poultry, mostly means Pollo.

    You just posted three different references to chicken dishes, not a duck or turkey in sight. You are insane.

    Maybe there’s a language barrier here, but poultry in American English means: domesticated fowl (as in birds) like chicken, duck, turkey and geese — in particular the meat of those fowl as used for food.

    So are you saying by his nickname he refers to himself as the stuff of which a chicken sandwich is made, or turkey as served with dressing? Is there another definition of “poultry” that’s menacing and likely to strike fear into an opponent? Because I’d straight LOL if I was fighting a guy who decided to nickname himself after a No. 1 meal at Chick-fil-A.

    I think Bam Bam was more a Ray Mancini reference. Maybe I think too deeply about things.
