Losing fights doesn't mean you are a bum, if that is the case Khan is as well, Pac man too, JMM, Froch, Canelo etc Khan got sent to hospital and lost 5 rounds, no schooling there.
Losing fights where you're schooled in your prime by journeymen Khan, Alexander and Kotelynik makes you are borderline bum.
Ernie Shavers is the alpha bum fighter, the kind of fighter all bums aspire to be I mean, name another bum level fighter besides Shavers that is somehow praised as a legend, the hardest puncher eva and other rubbish. Not even Rahman gets so much respect
You aren't a real boxing fan if you label good fighters as bum/journeyman, you should find another sport, again Khan and Kotelnik did not school a prime Maidana, both close fights and Maidana is prime now not then. TROLL.
You called Khan, Maidana and Broner bums so you can't be taken seriously. We're talking borderline ones here FFS. Someone like Boone who although gives prospects hell kind of fits that description. Szpilka is another.
i dont really follow any bums but probably the least talented fighter i root for is Mile High Mike. Always brings it and the Rio's rematch was probably my favorite fight of that year.
I wouldn't rate him as a bum, but rather fringe contender: Monte Barrett. Always liked him, hope he's doing well these days.
Personally, I respect all boxers even those who get in the ring and amass 10-56 records. Clearly they have a passion and are doing what they love. In my eyes, that's better than being a bum lawyer, COP, or leeching ew.
