What are some overused words in the boxing world?

[New England]

duck and hypejob.


rodriguez was "ducking" ward, until he got an extra 200K....



matthysse was a "hypejob" after wins over peterson, alexander, and a close fight that should have gone his way against judah.

[OhNoes]

(insert name) is on PEDs.
Glass jaw.
Glass heart.

CHAMPION is the single most overused word. There's only like half a dozen real champions in the sport.

Then we have robbed, hype-job, gift, bum, shot, ducked, ducking

Phrases: "My ATG list" "who would win" "**insert fighter's name here** is the next **insert fighter's name here**"

"Bum" and "exposed" came to mind pretty much immediately for me.

Excuse me? You think about exposed bums a lot then? I'm more of a tit guy myself...

Sorry, couldn't help myself. But yeah I hate it when guys who are putting their health on the line for our entertainment are called Bums or Cans. Equally, how come it is no longer possible for fighters to just win or lose?

They are now inevitably 'exposed' or 'schooled' - (oh yeah there's another one - 'schooled') no matter how close the fight. Fanboy is overused too, though there are some irritating posters out there.

As have already been mentioned Hype-job, Glass jaw, Fraud and Ducking are all thrown around far to often. The way some people talk about fighters it's hard to imagine they even profess to be fans of the sport.

Good ones already posted but "WARRIOR" gets annoying.

Excellent choice! I find the term "warrior" applied to an athlete insulting frankly... Soldgers follow orders, they have the capacity to act as a warrior. You can call a soldger a warrior if they act ethically and at great purpose/self sacrifice.

There are many selfish athletes that are not warriors and there are everyday people who show that he/she is a warrior...a mensch. Mayweather fighting Canelo for money not a warrior. The Indian guy who stopped at a dangerous turnoff at the entrance to the Golden Gate Bridge when a car broke down, and risked his limo and his ass because he saw a women and baby stuck with non functioning car.....WARRIOR.

In Martial Arts we deal with trying to be warriors and it involves a lot more than just fighting.

Eurobum for any European fighter who loses or wins a vacant title.
Taxi drivers when describing the opponents of any fighter that fought in there own country instead of America.
Calling a fighter Slick instead of saying he holds a lot and fights defensively.
