    Jarred Miller is more of a complete CNUT as oppose to a bum. Luis 'Baba Yaga' Ortizn't is proving himself to be a prolapsing bum.....:pipi

    The really, really low level journeymen. The ones you wouldn't even favor in a local bar fight, let alone a boxing match.
    Only have the designation as "professional boxer" to get beat up and make some money on the side. Even a lot of "professional unboxers" would whoop their ass if it came down to it.

    this guy for example: http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/627704

    Bums are the guys that sit on their computers all day talking **** about professional fighters. Many such specimens can be found right here at BN24.

    Any fighter that I personally don't like is a bum and anyone who doesn't agree with me is riding dick.

    Low level journeymen, who in a fight with the non profensionals calling them bums would spark then dead

    To me it means a keyboard warrior who couldnt even get a rhythm bag going for 5 seconds yet goes on internet forums and disrespects actual fighters.

    Bums = Tomato cans = low level fighters who are stepping stones for other fighters to build up records and confidence on there way up....

    Usually guys with records on 5-25
    2-49. I personally still give them and any man who steps in the ring my respect.

    99% of the Boxers labelled a bum on this forum are not bums. To me a bum is a fighter who doesnt have the skill but then also doesnt train to be the best he can be, club level nobody. Just take a look at the 1st 30 Wilder opponents.
