...... we all know what's coming. The list of excuses will be longer than the list of bums he fought in his first 30-some fights. Sure, Father Time could finally catch up with the 36-year old Floyd. Or Floyd could get careless and catch a home run shot from Canelo. But let's say Canelo loses. What will the excuses be? Let's get them out in the open now.... and save ourselves some time. I'll start the list off.


  • He got robbed (even though Las Vegas is close to being annexed to Mexico).
  • He was weight-drained.
  • He's too young.... should've never been in there with Floyd.
  • He laid off Floyd out of respect. Could've knocked him out (VD's personal favorite).
  • Floyd cheated his way to a victory.
  • He had a secret injury, but went ahead with the fight anyway.
    • He was ill.
    • His hands hurt.
    • He ate something that disagreed with him.
  • Personal problems..... he couldn't concentrate on his training.
  • It was his trainer's fault..... wrong gameplan.
  • It was his manager's fault..... should've held out for 154.
  • Lousy refereeing.

Let's hear them now, and get it over with.
