Why? Joe Louis and his 'bum of the month club' is probably the early usage we are most familiar with, though of course if you go back - especially to the depression era there were many, many fighters literally fighting for the price of their dinner and possibly a cheap bed for the night and likely the term goes back further than even that.
I know it's just used as a kinda shorthand these days but to me it's still unnecessary and kinda disrespectful - specially the way its used on here.. Literally only in the weird world of boxing fandom could top 10 fighters, even sometimes world champions be described as 'bums'.Last edited by Citizen Koba; 04-19-2020, 10:48 AM.Comment
