Andre "Son of God" Ward- and other weird nicknames

[CutMeMick]

Why is his nickname, the son of god (SOG)? It seems like a really weird choice.


ALso on that same note, does anyone know why Timothy Bradley's nickname is "Dessert Storm"? was he in the military.

I believe Ward got the SOG because of his religous beliefs and background.

Bradley goes by Desert Storm simply because he trains and is from a desert area and to show his respect to the military. (Palm Springs although he lives near by in Cathedral City)
He trains in Coachella which is a desert in the Diaz Family gym.
