    Larry Holmes also has bizarre excuses for every loss.

    1. Wrong socks
    2. Heavy costume
    3. "Look at me toe, mate!"

    EDIT: Roger Mayweather eating too much licorice on fight day versus Chavez has to be up there.

    The costume excuse holds no water because it's an excuse about a ****in' costume he wore to a fist fight.

    Edit: since the mods merged my thread with this: - "Wilder''s costume maker says that the costume weighs 25 pounds tops"

    Yet another lie exposed from Deontay.

    Thoughts?

    Never thought the costume makers might actually lash out at this. Good for them if true.

    This is such a joke anything to deflect from the drubbing Fury dished out to him.

    Someone needs to have the guts to confront Wilder about this in an interview. Show him the Rogan clip first, ask him to explain it, then when he stutters and comes out with some BS denying it show him the sprint footage. Then if he throws his toys out of the pram and walks out of the studio accompany it to the scuba waddle.

    For me I like Toe gate, David Haye's big toe. That excuse is timeless, cancellations for medical would be honored, greedy fighters.

    According to Wilder gravity added an extra 20 pounds.

    I never thought anything could top the broken toe excuse, but I think it finally has. Haye must be breathing a sigh of relief now that he no longer known for having the most ridiculous excuse for losing ever lol.

    I think it's just because of how he talked about it in the post fight interview and physically took off his boots and showed the toe. Something about that whole scene was hilarious especially considering Wlad's reaction to it lol.

    Put yourself in that guy's shoes. They likely have a ton of pride in their costume making business, and that night it was a feature of maybe the biggest global event that night. Your client gets beat down badly, and then throws you and your product under the bus for the loss. Blaming it entirely on you. When the media came knocking I would be more than happy to contradict that fool.
