Buster Douglas was NOT a bum! I think the description of a "bum" isn't understood here by many. A bum is someone who has no intensions of trying to win and actually looks for a way to duck out of the fight.
Theres a fine line between a "trialhorse" and a bum! A trialhorse can win because he tries too but isn't supposed to have the matching skills of his opponent hense the word trial! A bum enters the ring as a "mark" and is there only to loose!
you can't rewrite terminology but you can learn it! Ray.
but what has buster douglas ever done prior to beating tyson and after beating tyson? he had a few loses going into the tyson fight (most of them by knockout) and he was a huge underdog...and after tyson he immediately lost the titles to holyfield and after that he went back into obscurity...he wasn't a huge bum per se..but he wasn't anywhere near a top level fighter either. he fought the fight of his life against tyson tho but that's pretty much all he has ever done and will always be remembered for...just like those two guys who stopped pac early in his career.
]Let me get into my Ronaldo Nathanielz Sanchez (Ronnie Nathaniel'z Mexican cousin) character, Former ATG 3 division 6 time world champion p4p king BOXING legend and national icon Julio Cesar "El Golpe Nacional" Chavez, former bedder of Salma Hayec and he who sired future boxing ATG and one time wbc middle weight champion (no seriously he was I aint lying, it happened) Julio Cesar "Vaca De Dinero" Jr, lost on September 17, 2005,Chávez suffered a TKO loss to certified cab driver Grover Wiley in the 115th bout of his career, retiring in his corner before the start of the 5th round, after injuring his right hand.
I needed a good laugh today and brother you provided it! Salma Hayek wouldn't give Chavez Sr her stained panties let alone give up the poonany! And Chavez Jr an ATG? Hilarious!
Manny Pacquiao was hammered twice by nobodies in the Philippines. While I do not consider him an ATG, many people do.
Lennox Lewis is another guy who I do not consider an ATG, but many do. He was hammered by Oliver McCall inside of 2 rounds I believe it was, and again by Hasim Rahman, who would go on as the worst heavyweight champion in the history of boxing.
Those are the only people that come to mind

I don't know if Lennox Lewis will fall under the ATG category but he's been Undisputed Champ in his reign, thus his knock out loss to Oliver McCall comes to mind...
mccall is far from great but hes no bum, fought alot of the best HWs of his time and beat a few of them and not just lewis.
a real example is rafael marquez who was knocked out 3 times by extremely limited oposition, atleast two of which could easily be labeled bums. izzy vasquez was KOd by a bum once early in his career too.
like mentioned before arguello was knocked out by garbage fighters. benny leonard was knocked out a few times by bums but back in those days boxing was different to say the least.
Lots of ATG's would have been knocked out by less than stellar competition by today's standards. Back in the day, you nearly had to kill an opponent to get that KO or TKO.
List the fighters who would make your top 100 atg list that were ko'd by cab drivers,turnip vendors etc etc early in their career or in their prime

Valero raped and murdered his wife, got arrested, then went to a Venezuelan jail where he got dealt with. Let's just go with the flow and say he committed suicide cuz he felt bad for what he did. At the end of the day he did what he did, and is now paying for it, let him rest in peace.
What is the name of that song in the vid of Margarito getting knocked down?
the fact that YOU honor a child murderer in YOUR avatar is disgusting
Touche on the comeback! I admit when I am bested, but this is fiction good book try reading it sometime...but in all seriousness valero is in bad taste.
