This term has multiple uses. The first of these is a garbage can. The term can is used in this setting very commonly because the word can is in the name stupid. Another use of the word can is a shitter. If you don’t know what a shitter is, I’m sure you can infer from the name. Another common use of the term can is a can with beer inside, however the only time the term can is used is when the liquid inside the can is beer.

The "can" is an inferior fighter or player (often an unknown or one with a poor record) that is set against the favorite solely for the purpose of losing and making the latter look good. Comeback fights are often against cans.
