Lennox Lewis calls them Bums... but there is no such thing in the Boxing Ring!

By Johnny Benz, Doghouse Boxing. - Usually I like reading inspirational words from the legends of Boxing. I don't always agree with the high and mighty talk though. Recently Lennox Lewis posted a tweet that I took exception to.

Regarding fighters that stay in the game too long, Lewis tweeted: "They fight on well past their prime to the point where their skills are diminished and they can be beaten by even bums..."

Now as much as I agree with most of the statement, It kind of angered me to read Lewis calling sub par boxers as "Bums". No human is a bum, especially any man or woman who steps inside the boxing ring to preform for my enjoyment. The Doghouse is a dangerous place to play... and so I find the "bum" comment totally uncalled for. Although twitter only allows a little bit of text to express opinions and views... I am sure Lewis could have done better than that.
