Then I think of guys like Victor Ortiz and words like Bum and Coward are actually too kind for him. I have greater respect for things I flush down the toilet.
No, It's underused if anything. Showtime seems to be cultivating a "bum" network that cowards can run to to avoid killers on HBO.
A bum is not just a bad boxer, it can be a boxer that does not live up to his words, or does not live up to the past while simultaneous proclaiming himself the best ever. Mayweather and Adonis Stevenson are both bums in my book.
In boxing, the term won't ever get overused.
It was overused against Brandon Rios. Pre Pac fight, Rios was world class. After the War in the Cotai, he became Bum Bum Rios
in boxing? surely...i am tired of reading about "klitschko fighting those bums"...
Yes.
Bums are do-nothing low-lifers and there has been nobody like that in boxing ever.
Some sports journalists just use the term as an exaggeration to define or to suggest that some fighters ought not to be there inside the ring with some foes who are superior in terms of almost everything despite their hard work and dedication. In short they are seriously out of their league.
In this site there are also bums who would not want to use their gray matter except for hating and brick throwing by using terms as coward ducker chicken
IMO, anyone that walks up those stairs and enters that ring alone, IS NO BUM.
I've never really heard it used but then I'm Scottish.
I know in America it is used for journeymen fighters.
But to people here, "bum" has a totally different meaning.
For instance "I would like to bum Helen Flannagan".
In that sense, I don't think it can be used too much.
