Yeah... been a couple of posts on this already. I don't use the term directly toward a fighter in a derogatory term, but rather as criticism for fighters that build their careers on obviously inferior opponents in order to fatten up their record.

Re: Should a fighter ever be referred to as a bum or tomato can?
Meh I have no problem with it, but I think those terms get thrown around way too much (can't count how many times have I seen them used in reference to a world ranked, top 10 guy).
The words - although harsh - do have an accepted use and meaning in the sport. I don't have respect for every guy that steps into the ring: doesn't necessarily mean you're brave, you might just be stupid.

I Would Think,
That any man or woman that had the 'balls' or 'heart' to get into a Ring to
exchange punches with another person, would have some kind of courage.
There are no 'Bums' or Tomato Cans'.

Re: Should a fighter ever be referred to as a bum or tomato can?
Of course some fighters are bums or tomato cans. They need to be called that. Some guys should not ever enter fighting, and it isn't because they have a fighting spirit or not, but some guys really do not qualify for being in sports period.
Rod Salka- a BUM and a Tomato Can
Andrew Golota- had promise but on many occasions was "bummy" in his approach.
Mike Alvarado- yes, he can fight. But, he is a BUM. Drug abusing BUM. Get your life together homes!!
Riddick Bowe- a Champion, but in all due respect, at the latter half of his career, became nothing more than a lousy, lazy, fat assed bum. The sanctioning organizations should have been ashamed to know he was their champion holding their belt.
Some times being a bum has nothing to do with fighting ability, it has to do with the lifestyle you choose that causes you to lose focus and enter into the ring in shit shape and giving piss poor performances with no direction in your career. That makes you a bum.
Arturo Gatti- a strong fighter who came to fight and came prepared to win, he just didn't have it when faced with elite fighters. He was not a bum.
Emmanuel Augustus- good, technical fighter that got robbed more than he won. Came prepared, in shape and with focus on the task at hand. He was no bum, he just got shitty ends of the deal.
Get my drift?!?!
Bigger man George, bigger punch!

Re: Should a fighter ever be referred to as a bum or tomato can?
Agreed. With the NO that is.
NO!
No way could I even think of Calling Golota a bum. Bipolar maybe.
Bowe: After 3 fights with Evander he was the one that ended up slurred speech. That trilogy took everything from him- and was a shell by Golota II IMO.
Not sure why Gatti or Augustus name was mentioned.

Re: Should a fighter ever be referred to as a bum or tomato can?
I am totally disagreeing with this. ykdad:- check out Hakkar-- he is in such great shape - the announcers 1st few rounds claimed he could run 3miles & break a record. This post is in humor, so check out how a guy can be in great shape, but his styleskill level is bummified.
Do me a favor: respond to these 3 okay?
Go to:
1. 1:32- Hopkins lands - Hakkar takes a knee at 1:36 LMAO Please comment not an in-shape bum?
Fuck Tyon's long count with Douglass- the announcer claims 14! its 1:54 in the vid! Bwaaahaa!!
2. Please comment at 2:02-2:14 he's raising his hands, Not a bum? okay Clown better word?
3. 6:22 in- Hop drops him & Frank wont count- I got the HBO commentating- Lamply & Forman crack up laughing & said: I bet Morrade is wondering-whats a guy gotta do to get knocked out in America!

Re: Should a fighter ever be referred to as a bum or tomato can?
I remember my old trainer one day getting all over a guy that called a fighter a bum
He said " I heard what you called that fighter tell me could you beat him"? The guy says " No of course not" Trainer say " What gives you the right to call him a bum"? " Shall I go over & tell him what you said"?? Guy was scared he says " No please don't". Trainer says " Don't let me hear any of you here call any fighter a bum unless you are sure you can kick his ass OK" Great guy old Charlie

Bill Paxton has got to be a troll He certainly knows nothing about boxing when he calls Muhammad Ali a bum
