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

          I chose Leftovers...****** 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? ****** 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.

                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

                  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.
