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.
