What constitutes a "bum"?

Oxford Concise English Dictionary definition reads as such....

1. the large muscles at the base of the vertebrae

2. the majority of Mayweather's opponents in the last decade

I guess someone who is very far below your skill-level that you choose to fight. An obvious and extreme mismatch of an opponent who is underserving whether it's because of their lack of skill, experience, current ranking/level, or all three.

 

Someone who is irrelevant at the weight.

Someone who achieves nothing at the weight.

Someone who doesn't perform to their best at the weight.

 

I have a very hard time calling any boxer a "bum", but that's just me.

 

Basically this, along with someone you have no excuse for fighting.

If it's an unavoidable mando for guys that want to keep their titles (such as Kovalev recently v Mohammedi) then there is no problem with that.

If the opposition is weak because you can't get anyone else willing to fight you (like some of GGG's opposition) that is fine.

But guys like Wilder and Stevenson have no excuse whatsoever.

 

an educated bum at that:yep

 

Take a good,hard,long look in the mirror,and all will become clear.
