    A bum is like, someone with a losing record or close to it. The boxing equivalent of a homeless person. People be calling divisional top 10 fighters and champions bums, messed up.

    A bum is a bum, if he's risking his life then he's a dumb bum but a bum never the less.

    If you can't handle people calling fighters bums then you are too soft for this sport and should go watch women's soccer.
