    No, most people don't care about that. Just wondering which beloved American fighters you are referring to?

    I take it that this must be a cultural difference but from where Pac is from, when you say you lost, that's that right there.
    Saying how you think you lost (like a leg cramp or actually what he said during the interview was his legs were just tired and so he cannot adjust) IS ABSOLUTELY NOT making an excuse.
    Saying "I would've won that if I didn't have a leg cramp" now THAT is an excuse.
    Again, this must be a cultural thing, but Pac is not making an excuse.
    He actually looked embarrassed and was really sorry for the poor performance during the post fight interview in the ring.
    That's a genuine acceptance that his time is up right there.

    Stiff legs come with age. Legs are pretty much the first thing to go, he's lucky they've lasted him as long as they did.

    Yeah, 42 years old and his legs don't work the way they did years ago. Aches and pains come with getting older,
    especially to an athlete.

    It's no excuse to have aching legs during a fight at 42 years old.

    You're talking like Ugas displayed wonderful footwork. He was stiff like a tree, just trying to counter what Pacquiao throwed at him.

    Pacquiao was the busy guy and he was doing 3-4 hit combos all night. Pacman is robbed.

    Keith Thurman, Adrien Broner, Jessie Vargas, Timothy Bradley Jr, Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley, Oscar De la Hoya... List goes on.

    **** off hahahahaha I didn't even say Ugas moved well, just pointed out how Pac's legs declined so much.

    Probably hard to accept that his body can't do what it used to. His legs looked stiff with no bounce from the opening bell.

    If he doesn't make lame excuses he would have to say the obvious: "I am too old".

    I would never believe something this outlandish. This kind of thing doesn't happen to a guy with this style until he's well into his seventies and has shingles.
