Which excuses did you really buy into?

[C.J.Rock]

Most excuses are clearly just bullshit because the fighter has badly underperformed.

BUT

I believe ALL boxers deserve a little leeway. One loss in boxing is very harmful, it can ruin/end a career.. whereas in other sports, GREATS can lose multilpe times on the bounce without harming their status

LOL Randall Tex Cobb summed it up perfectly when he asked
" Whats the difference in tennis and boxing

In tennis yoiu screw up its 15 love screw up in boxing and your ass is on the canvas darlin LOL

Yea against Bernard Hopkins if i remember right.

Can't stand Clottey's crying. Wsa the worst for me especially considering his hand was fractured not broken and TOny had injuries coming into the fight but fought like a warrior without crying about it.

The ones I thought had an effect: Williams having an off night v Quintana the first time. Gatti's injuries(the guy was a warrior). Can't think of any others.

I lost a couple fights to a big time smack talker. I was forced into using the player 2 control rather than the player 1 control like usual. So everything was backward. We switched controls and I ktfo him.

In relation to weight drain, I don't think that applies over 154.

In relation to hands, If a boxer can prove he broke his hand I will condone a terrible performance.

I can even condone the wrong socks excuse.

I dont believe that prime Roy Jones would have beaten the piss out of Vinny Pazienza had Vinny timed his coffee more precisely

I belive that Hamed had a stinking cold when he struggled with Medina. I dont believe that Scott Harrison had exactly the same problem with exactly the same fighter.

I dont believe that Evander Holyfield rubbed anything other than his fists into Bobby Czyz(SP?) eyes.

I believe Vinny Paz's "I came down too fast from my caffeine high" against Roy Jones. Also, George Foreman's "I was about to knock Ali out but I got distracted because I saw my friend in the audience betray me by rooting for Ali" was dead on. And Hector Camacho Sr's "I was still bothered by a mean look that my mother gave me in the dressing room" excuse for his performance against Edwin Rosario.


No seriously, I rarely buy the excuses. One thing I might buy was the Fan Man crashing down. After a great previous two rounds for Holyfield, Bowe seemed to have been turning things around in round 7 and was having an excellent round, jabbing Holyfield seemingly at will before Fan Man crashed down. Bowe ended up losing round 7 on the cards when Holyfield did better after the break, and Bowe lost the title by 1 and 2 pts, after his pregnant wife got carried out of the arena on a stretcher.
