    Whyte has stated that his British title fight with S exton is off due to Sam's lambing commitments

    This the first time I have heard lambing as an excuse. Dave Allan is not impressed

    WALDO and his blatant duck of Chisora due to a back injury following excessive clinching.

    Danny Williams- Ramadam

    He didn't fancy it against Corey Sanders and used it as an excuse. If he had just said straight up he couldn't fight due to Ramadam fair enough, but to accept the fight and then pull out is bull****.

    I remember Chavez/De La HoyaI; where Chavez went through with the fight despite being cut a week prior.... He was busted open in ten seconds; Haye did the right thing.

    The difference is that Haye did his best Rocky impression and the week before the fight said to his trainer "cut me Mick, cut me."

    Fury pulled out against Ustinov when he turned up kinda in shape... he claimed he was getting stitched up.
    I think you can't go much lower as that, for pulling out when it looks like your opponent did actually train a bit for it.
