Although i do tend to believe some excuses if they are plausable..

I also know that in fact there are reason's but not excuses, when someone takes the fight and expects to win, then they should win, if you took the fight then your good to fight, like shannon briggs
he called off his mandatory because of the flu or something
now thats fair play and when it comes time to defend his title it having been resheduled
there will be no excuse, if you go through with a fight then you should be tip top

like the tito - bhop

I never felt that tito was too far moved up, he still had mad power and boxed as well as ever,
It wasnt that bernard was too big, It wasnt that the joppy fight had given anyone a false sense of security that tito was a genuine middleweight

it was more so that Bhop saw the joppy fight and rather then got fooled that tito was a genuine middleweight, he in fact saw this fight and decided to box tito in the way that he did........

what can you say, he fought the perfect fight and tito wouldnt have been the same at welter against a dude that good with a gameplan that great
