Ok, from the most recent ones of David Haye's 'toe' to Derek Chisora's 'hernia' problem back to the funnier one of Oscar De La Hoya's 'yesterday i ate bad oysters', and the typical one of 'i make no excuses, but'... which ones are the funniest, unusual, good or most ridiculous excuses you've ever heard in boxing?
Vinny Paz claiming he lost to RJJ because he drank too much coffee and was suffering from. A caffeine come-down!
Dempsey's made him well liked, in he was not well liked because he was a 'draft' dodger. "I forgot to duck."
Clottey having the shits is a good one, but took him that long flight home to come up with didn't it? Pac having his blood taken before a fight was another good one that people cling onto today, but he too didn't come up with the excuse until after his long flight back home. And the always classic, 'I make no excuses but...'
Estelle Taylor : " what happened Ginsburg " ( her pet name for jack ) Dempsey : " honey I forgot to duck " That brief exchange right after his first loss Tunney planted Dempsey into the hearts of fans all over the world - he became far more loved due to his gracious acceptance of defeat than he ever was when he was the champion.
