    Great Post Pride!

    From now on I'll no longer use the word bum to describe Peter Manfredo and will instead use your preferred title of 'garbage'.

    That is what you meant right?

    More like 99+%, but I take your point.

    There is a strange breed who call themselves boxing fans but seem to passionately despise virtually all boxers, bar their own two or three favourites. You don't get it in other sports. No golf fan, say, would describe a player who finished 30th in the Masters as a bum or garbage because he finished a few shots behind Tiger Woods.

    Odd.

    I can't even piece together in my mind the stupidity involved in statements such as these.

    There was a thread I was just reading about how Bernard Hopkins is a bum that should have retired years ago. Let’s look into this statement for a second and peel back a few of the layers of idiot, shall we?

    First we'll look at Bernard on Paper...

    Ring Magazine middleweight title (2002-2005)

    Ring Magazine light heavyweight title (2006)

    Longest EVER middleweight title reign.

    Most EVER defenses as middleweight champ...

    Ok... Bum already sounds pretty dumb, doesn't it?
    Let us peel back another layer of moron.

    Bernard as a fighter some will say... I included... Can be very boring. People fail to realize it is due to the fact that Bernard makes you fight on HIS terms. HE will dictate the pace of the action... HE will grind it down to a dull roar so he can pick you apart. He is one of the craftiest fighters of our time that can always find a way to beat you....

    The fact that the other statement was "he should have retired years ago" is equally as idiotic...

    hmmmm... oh, wait... what’s that say up there?

    Oh that's right... Ring Magazine Light Heavyweight Title 2006.







    Joe Calzaghe has also been called a bum... wow... There's almost too much stupid in that statement to attack in one thread... I actually feel dumber after typing that....



    Calzaghe is the longest reigning title holder in any weight class in boxing... He was named the BBC Sports Personality of the year. JOE HAS NEVER EVER BEEN DEFEATED! Hmmmm... Damn bum

    When he fought Lacy the American was supposed to decapitate the poor frail Welshman... LOL. What a beating

    When he fought Kessler, he was fighting the "best" SMW in the world besides himself... And he was... But clearly not as good as himself.

    There is no one in the world right now that has the work rate or the chin to take calzaghe out... PERIODE!



    To call an undefeated Champ who has had that title for 10 years a bum is... well... They haven't made up a word for that yet









    John Duddy was called a bum last week maybe...

    Hmmm... lets take a look at this little kernel of ani-knowlege...



    Duddy is clearly a fan favorite because of his brutal style and anti-fense... People love drama and when Duddy is in the ring he delivers... He has a Gatti like blood and guts style people can and do latch on to.

    You never know what you're gonna get at a duddy fight cuz it seems either his opponent or himself could go at anytime... That's drama!

    The sport needs its ying and yang... Like anything. You have your Floyds and Whitakers and you have your Gattis and Lamottas... You need one to have the other. It's the balance of boxing. To call one unnecessary or demean it is to do the same to the other.

    Boxing needs its Duddys...

    Will Duddy ever win a defense competition? Probably not...

    Will he be a great draw and give us great fights? Sure... He has already






    People need to know that it takes a special person to even set foot in that ring... Never mind be champ, reign for ten years, have 20 consecutive titles defenses or be a blood and guts crowd favorite...



    I agree. The word bum should be used only for fighters that are actually bums. Peter "Super Bum" Manfredo for example

    Manfredo may be described as a "Pretender,"

    Sorry Pride, but when I was at Calzaghe Manfredo and saw the guy come out for the fight I knew I could be a pro fighter as I pretty much towered over him and....
    Well this is harsh and I've never made a comment like it before......

    but I would have done better against Calzafghe than Peter did.

    "Superbum"... New that was coming

    "pretender" yes... He is a regional fighter who looks like a deer in headlights on a world stage... I have no illusions of that

    I actually like the guy and you know, he's not actually afraid to get in there but when he's in there he seems to freeze. He could have won against Lacy until the knockdown then he just froze up

    I like using the word "bum." It's authentic boxing jargon, which refers to a fighter not giving it their all. For instance- Audly Harrison is a bum.

    I'm talking about the context it was used in about the men I mentioned!

    Are you a bum if you are a no show on Friday night fights when everyone was expecting you?

    I have to have respect for anyone who steps in the ring reguardless of thier record. An 0-1 fighter has one more fight than i ever will. I guess i even respect john ruiz and even (man it's killin me to say it) layla ali.
