After Lou Nova lost to Joe Louis, he said that he could not use his "cosmic punch" (which he had talked about before the fight) because the rotation of the earth was wrong.

Wladimir's 'poisoned water' is pretty lame! But the Khan-Peterson one takes the prize

Roy Jones Jr said he lost on purpose to Tarver the third time because he didn't want his dad to get any of the credit had he won.



The best excuse I've ever heard from a boxer for not even taking a fight in the first place had to be Shane Mosley. He said he couldn't fight Floyd Mayweather back when they were lightweights on a specific date because his wife wanted to go on holiday instead.

I think it was the first Marquez fight where Pacquiao blamed his socks.

The Bika one still can't be touched.

Bute defeated you previously. Can you win a return bout? Why?

Yes I can win a return bout. Last time I fought Bute, I was very sick and almost drowned in the hotel pool the day before my fight. I never learnt how swim and decided to cool down after training. I didn’t realize there was a deep end of the pool and jumped straight in. I know I can beat Bute and would not go near any swimming pools before the fight!

Khan vs Peterson easily.

Couldn't beat pretty average, cherry picked opponent so instead of self reflecting went full retard for weeks, blaming absolutely everything connected with boxing for not giving him a bullshit decision.

Broner has a ready made one in case he loses his next fight: rapping in a strip club, throwing away his money and then eating out skanky whore fanny in front of everyone. Top class.
