    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?

    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.
