LOL, I think you are missing the irony of Sal The Butcher's argument.

He is a big Zab fan, he supported him to the hilt, but he knows Mayweather won. So he (tongue in cheek) makes excuses that are so ridiculous, that they are in essence an acceptance of defeat.

But there are a lot of people in here, who missed the joke, thus he has quite rightly played along, and made great mileage out of it. And as such has come out the winner, and thus so has Zab in this forum
