Absolute bums

Who are some of the more memorable stiffs from boxing history ?

 

Not a term I use about a professional fighter.

 

Agreed.

 

Bums are unprofessional fighters, to the extreme.

 

when a fighter turns up the ring bloated, overweight, unfit and untrained, i wouldn't call them professional either

 

It's like calling an unfortunate crack addict prostitute a "professional actress" because she showed up to get abused in a backstreet studio in front of a camera.

 

Each person must make their own judgement. EG Ali turned up as you describe a couple of times was he a bum?

 

You are entitled to your opinion.

 

strawman. ali never turned up looking like dustin nichols

 

Tony Tubbs for the Tyson fight springs to mind......

 

Of course.
As are you.

The question of the thread however is about memorable bums of boxing history. Those are the names we're seeking here. Thanks.

 

Lionel Butler of the Lewis fight too.

Kirk Johnson of the Vitali fight probably.

 

Certainly.

 

Certainly.

 

I haven't criticized anyone else for their usage of the word,and I don't need a lecture from one of the absolute worst posters on this forum .You do as you wish and I'll do the same .
