"Somebody rubbed drugged-vaseline all over my body in the dressing room from head to toe, and this drugged me and also clogged up all my pores, and then I couldn't sweat, and then I overheated."
Some of my favorites in no particular order:
1. Vinny Paz after getting destroyed by Roy: "Icrashed after drinking cappuccino prior to the fight".
2. Tarver after getting dominated by Hopkins: "I'm not making excuses, but I think I may have been drugged or something".
3. Julio Ceasar Chavez after getting a gift draw vs. Sweet Pea: "He was too big (Pea is around 5'5") and fought a dirty fight".
4. John Ruiz after being humiliated by Roy: "The ref was in it for Roy, he wouldn't let me fight my fight (hug, grab, maul, wrestle...etc.)"!!!!!!
The Ruiz fight is especially entertaining because Merchant correctly points out that Ruiz and Norm Stone were complaining that the ref kept letting Roy punch Ruiz in the face. That one was great for so many different reasons.
Wlad said he was drugged against Brewster.
Pacquiao saying he feels drained when he has to take drug tests. As a person who nearly passes out, turns green and sweats profusely about an hour before getting a shot I can say you feel fine after.
Pacquiao blaming bad socks for a poor performance. This man was destined to be a politician. He is too FOS not to be a politician.
Mcaall saying walking around crying with his hands down was like the rope a dope and the crying was to psych himself up to go crazy on Lennox in the rematch ... lol
Mayweather saying the Bulgarian judge voted for Serafim Todorov out of racism.
This right here...

After getting thoroughly 'thrashed' by Smokin' Joe Frazer.
"I didn't lose to Joe. It was the '3' white judges who did me in."
'Well I guess they were not all Mexican cab drivers he fought'
...I had stomach cramps
This is tough to beat,
Quote:
"I just wanted to get out and go to the toilet," said former WBA welterweight champion Andrew "Six-Heads" Lewis after suddenly quiting midway through a bout he was winning on Saturday at the National Park in Georgetown, Guyana. Lewis was ahead on all three judges’ cards when he shockingly surrendered 37 seconds into round seven against Denny Dalton. Lewis later revealed to Stabroek Sport, "I preferred to lose the fight than mess up myself in front of all those people. Everyone saw that I was beating the hell out of Dalton. I was trying to hold in this stuff but in the seventh round I couldn't no more so I decided to quit." Lewis attributed his troubles to a milkshake he drank that afternoon. The Guyana Boxing Board of Control has withheld Lewis' purse pending an investigation. He is facing a possible fine or suspension.
After his loss to Mike Tyson Carl Williams said the following.
" I know its political I'm not even hurt "
Not exactly the TRUTH was it Carl.
Kinda off topic....
One of the best err...I mean worst excuses for a fight "not" being made.
Who could forget Dr. Shaw-Hi ;D

After getting his 'ass-whipped' and 'jaw-smashed' by Ken Norton.
"I didn't train properly."
"I took Norton too lightly."
"He was fighting for the U.S. Government."
"It was the West Coast air. I'm not used to that type of Pacific wind."
Not for losing... but still relevant...
~ Muhammad Ali - upon getting caught by Bill Paxtom reaming Bill's girlfriend and making her squeal like a stuck pig, resulting in $$ and years worth of psychiatric therapy for Billy ~
"Hey man... it's not my fault. She stripped down naked in front of me and said she wanted to be with a real man for once."
Muhammad Ali
After getting a complete 'ass-whipping' by Sir Larry Holmes.
"It was the diet pills."
"Larry never beat me. It was the diet-pills he beat."

Leave Mercury and Venus out of this, Master.
Zab Judah's lost to Baldomir
Zab: "Uh, I'm a tell ya'll, it was Don King. Don is a fucked up promoter. He had me out promoting, when I should've been training."
I zigged when I should have zagged. Joe Louis victim.
" i DIDNT EAT ENOUGH LASAGNE"

The ref stopped the fight cuz he has a gambling problem
"I wanted to keep on fighting. But my corner pinned me to my stool and ordered me to stop fighting."
~ Charles 'Sonny' Liston
On trying to explain his 1st-Round Knockout loss to Cassius Clay in Lewiston, Maine.
Reporters Question > Was it a surprise punch Sonny ?
Sonny Liston > {Laughing} "Yea, it was a surprise punch."
Just came across this video of Pac after the first Marquez fight and his excuses are his hands and legs hurt, his socks were thin which caused blisters lol. Have a listen for yourselves.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzVoz9DpA4k
how can he have had a "huge" blister already in the 2nd round from thin socks??? wtf???/ impossible to get a blister in 3 miinutes.
"I wasn't at my best today, and that's because I injured myself revolutionising the sport of golf.
All these cats just walk around and it takes too long to play like that. So I figured I would run up to the ball and hit it, instead of standing there like those old guys do.
The first time I did it, I played a great shot.,the second time, I missed the ball and swung all the way round, the I fell and twisted my ankle"
Muhammad Ali, after the second Norton fight.
Guys claiming they were drugged, like Wlad after he got run over by Brewster.
Foreman had a ton of excuses for why he lost to Ali. He claimed someone gave him "medicine-tasting" water that drugged him and sapped his energy, and of course blamed how loose the ropes were on losing to Ali.
Either way Bill is a dick. :)
