Which terms in boxing would you choose to abolish?

Bum- Even if a fighter gets his ass whooped in every fight the term is inappropriate; they're still putting in work to make a living. Quitter- This isn't down to the term being inaccurate, but down to the disdain it is said with. No fighter should be lambasted because he no longer wants to take a beating. Coward- For the average man stepping into a gym can be daunting, so the thought of people performing in front of 10s, 100s, 1000s and even 1,000,000s being called cowards is asinine.

You have occassions that somebody will duck but that term is used to frequent. The warriors going into the ring and get called bums or leftovers

resume-maybe im just sick of seeing it on here.

I chose Leftovers...Stupid term. If fighter A is undefeated then loses to fighter B, why should that make fighter A B's leftovers when it comes to a match against fighter C? If Cotto was Margarito's leftovers for Pacquiao, and Pacquiao's leftovers for Floyd, how come he gave Floyd arguably his toughest fight if he has been leftovers for years? Stupid phrase. Coward was up there for me too, anyone who steps out in front of the general public and willingly fights someone who is prepared to fight back in return, is not a coward.

I'd actually say glass jaw, but a lot of these are internet warrior terms that are annoying.

'Veteran tactics' aka excessive holding

None. Boxing wouldnt be the same . They all have a home in boxing

Quitter. Most dudes on here can't take a minimum weight fighter's jab let alone get hit sparring for 10 weeks+ in camp coupled with a trained professional in front of you trying knock your block off for up to 12 rounds. It's become cringe worthy to see people use that phrase here on NSB because it holds no water anymore. Not with dudes dying and going into comas for not knowing when to take a knee or corners not wanting to throw in a towel and save their fighter's career let alone their life.

Leftovers. Stupid thing to say

"Bum" gets on my God Damn nerves so bad. I see good fighters get called bums all the time on here. A bum is a guy with a losing record. I don't understand how you can bash a fighter and call him a bum or coward and not get banned.

let the people know what you voted. for whatever reason, maybe you think its disrespectful. give your fair or unfair examples of one, e.g. ggg is a ducker.....or beibet shumenov is a paper champion. None. I am an amateur fighter, and they say never question a mans courage until you've been in the ring. Well i've been in the ring plenty, and I can call any one of them out on a number of things any day. Sorry.

Coward. It doesn't describe any boxer.

LOL - I just had an odd thought. I wonder if pro-boxers ever get together (at the Gym or at social events, whatever) - and discuss what a bunch of BUMS, QUITTERS and COWARDS their fans are.. Like: Floyd - these morons worship me whatever I do, even the Mutha****as with no money throw dey money at me, buncha bums! Pac - My guys, y'know so many of them, I get KTFO and they run like cowardly little rats - they call themselves fans but they just a bunch of quitters. Both shake their heads sadly and turn to happier matters...

Pound for pound Pound for pound- this term gets used so often it takes away the prestige of being being the champ in your weight class. Ex. He's good at 154 but he's not top 10 pound for pound.

One game in the early 90's Michael Jordan was sick, didn't play well and was outscored by Tim Legler. Michael Jordan = Legler's leftovers

Bum and quitter. They sound funny said together, but these terms have no place in boxing. Bum. Warriors that are tougher than all of us,who make a modest living having the courage to fight more talented fighters. Most guy people consider "bums" would run a ****ing circle around you. ....and knock you the fcuk out.

let the people know what you voted. for whatever reason, maybe you think its disrespectful. give your fair or unfair examples of one, e.g. ggg is a ducker.....or beibet shumenov is a paper champion. I voted for all of them except paper champion, which I consider to be an apt description (in some cases) rather than an insult - though it is sometimes used as such. On the whole the level of disrespect towards the guys who put their health on the line to bring us the sport we're all self-confessed fans of is appalling IMO. Oh, BTW you can vote for multiple options in case anyone didn't realise, tho perhaps 'all of the above' should have been one

Leftovers for me is the most pointless thing ever. Basically if you have one loss then your basically someone's left overs which to me Is a bunch of bull. http://i1318.photobucket.com/albums/t641/racetoraise/INDIEGOGOinternet-high-five_zps951390ed.jpg Leftovers drives me absolutely insane. Stupidest boxing term ever. You could start out 40-0 and win titles in 4 different weight classes and then lose a controversial split decision...and then you're that opponent's "leftovers". smh :pat:

Bum. Warriors that are tougher than all of us,who make a modest living having the courage to fight more talented fighters. Most guy people consider "bums" would run a ****ing circle around you. i would never let a bum beat me.:headbang:
