In most other sports calling somebody an athlete/player a bum wouldn't be as big a deal I think, but boxers put their health at risk every dam time they step into the ring, for our entertainment, unlike basketball or baseball players. Jeah those guys may get injured but they aren't stepping into a ring to get their head pummeld in for your entertainment. It is especially annoying when the word is used to basically describe great fighters, people seem to find ways to make rocky marciano into a bum...It's got nothing to do with being soft, but just showing some respect and having some class, you can criticise a fighter just as well without using the word bum. As for calling someone a bum one day and the next an allstar, so much for loyalty I guess! Just because someone's been posting for a long time does not make them an expert, what if royal decided to stick around and or not get banned, would he be exempt from being questioned on his ludicris postings?
