I'm rewatching The Rocky Films and the amount of times they use the word bum to criticize someone or the amount of fights it nearly creates leads me to believe it was on equal footing with the c word as an insult. If someone called you a bum today how would you feel and how would you react?

I think it more applies specifically to the World of boxing.
No one wants to be a bum. That means there was no rise, peak and fall. You're just terrible.

That's awesome, I just spent the last couple days watching them and then saw Creed.

My dad has called me a lazy bum my whole life, and let me tell ya, does WONDERS for the self-esteem.

Buttermaker referred to himself as a bum in the Bad News Bears. While the movie was released in 1976, it was a rather common term before that. Somebody who never made the big-time (because they just aren't that good) and still trudged along.
