Define the word bum in boxing give examples

[Jc8804]

Who is a bum and why ?
Who wasnt a bum till you decided one day he was.

Who recently lost and is a bum now ?

I use it jokingly. Danny is a bum to me right now for fighting Ron Salsa, a real bum is Brian Sutherland

Sorry Mike

The only Bums i know of in boxing are the fans who talk ***** about fighters.

Anybody who steps in that ring to do battle is a man regardles of skill level.

A bum to me is like a guy that Roy Jones Jr is fighting today.

I see a lot of people call guys like Andy Lee,Brandon Rios,Khan,etc bums...I don't agree with that. I mean they aren't A level fighters,but they are decent,solid fighters.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

a Bum is a fighter that just shows up for the paycheck and not to win,, regardless of how good their skills are....

[Sugar Adam Ali]

It also depends on the level of competition..

floyd vs randall bailey,, bailey would be considered a bum

but make a fight like bailey vs frankie gomez, and bailey isnt a bum...


It just depends on the matchmaking.. Wlad vs Mccorimick, mccormick is a bum.. but have mccormick vs james toney, and its alot more even and mccormick isnt a bum..


all depends on the match up

Bum..........someone who purposely fights below his skill level.
...............someone who takes a dive (purposely looses)
.............someone who doesn't prepare properly and enters the ring out of shape. (lesser extent)

Bum & Hyped & Great are the most misused words on the forum.

Never call fighters "BUMS" that is a very ignorant thing to say about someone that would likely kick my a$$ so me labeling them "Bums" WTF is that saying about myself?

This is why I say stuff like THIS need to happen more so fans can understand that what these men do for a living is NO JOKE:




If you have no respect for what these guys do for a living then why the *** are you here because clearly you are not a boxing fan.

[Divine Hammer]

nonito donaire and broner are good examples of bum fighters.
