Talented boxers who became bums

[jack_the_rippuh]

Anybody who gets punched in the head for money is a bum, imo.

I'm thinking Zab Judah and Evander Holyfield.

Holfyield is STILL not a Bum

pnkilon thomas, michael dokes, buster douglas

So the only fighters that can't be considered bums are those who are the best?



You mean Ronald "Winky" Wright, who was defeated by Vargas?

LMAO!!! I KNO U DIDNT GO THERE....DID U EVEN SEE THAT FIGHT??????....VARGAS GOT THAT FIGHT KAUSE HE WAS AN UPCOMING EXCITING MEXICAN PROSPECT.....WINKY KLEARLY WON THAT FIGHT AS MOST BOXING WRITERS/ EXPERTS HAVE STATED...SIDE NOTE: THAT WAS WINKY'S FIRST FIGHT UTILIZING HIS NOW FAMOUS "PEEK-A-BOO" STYLE THAT HE HAS NOW PERFECTED....

I must have seen the fight like 3 times, and I never see Winky winning. SOME writers had him winning, not most, as you said. Winky is one of my 5 favorite fighters of all-time, and I'm telling you he lost. But that doesn't matter here, you called Fernando a bum, a man who gave 3 living legends very tough fights and lost courageously each time, a dude who never gave up, and who was undisputed junior middleweight champion at age 20. What percentage of people who get to be pro boxers can claim that?

IM NOT GOING TO ARGUE ABOUT THE SCORING, BOXING IS WEIRD KAUSE THERE IS NO SET CRITERIA FOR JUDGING, ITS MOSTLY RELATIVE...BUT FERNANDO IS A BUM = NOW......IM DISCREDITING HIM AND HIS ABILITIES, BUT THE THREAD STARTER ASKED WHO WAS GOOD BUT IS NOW A BUM....FERNANDO FITS THAT BILL....AND I LIKED FERNANDO AND I WISH HE WOULD HAVE WHIPPED MOSLEY'S ASS WHICH I THINK HE WOULD HAVE DONE 5 YEARS AGO, BUT DUE TO HIS INJURIES OR WUTEVER ELSE HE IS NOW A BUM, SORRY
