He said nothing other than he didn't quite feel right (and he actually credited Hopkins "movement" with having confused him). 6:35 [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0G__PG4z8I[/ame] No, nobody from Team Pavlik said that. It was Thomas Hauser several days afterwards.
Kessler on Ward: Immediately after the fight: "He was the better man tonight" And there after: "Ward's a dirty fighter"
Best 1, although it was tounge in cheek was Hatton after Mayweather loss 'I slipped'...even got a laugh from Pretty Boy
If I remember rightly, De La Hoya blamed the first loss to Mosley on eating a bad batch of oysters the day before.
It's sort of annoying that boxers have to justify losses as if they aren't capable of losing. I respect a fighter who loses and handles it well way more than I ever respect a fighter who makes 30 excuses for a loss. When tyson admitted Douglas whipped his ass, he went up 10 fold in my book.
He probally broke a disc on his spine. I did too and I can still fight play ball all that Mike is crazy tho how you have an excuse after knocking somebody out lol
When Zab Judah lost to Baldomir I think I remember him blaming Don King for the loss for being a "shady/corrupt" character or something along those lines.
Lewis' is better than Clottey's. "I preferred to lose the fight than mess up myself in front of all those people. Everyone saw that I was beating the hell out of Dalton. I was trying to hold in this stuff but in the seventh round I couldn't no more so I decided to quit. I can live with what I did," "I was focused and well prepared for the fight. I was beating him at will. He knows it too. But then this thing came on. I was still beating him but had to concentrate or else I would have messed myself." "I'm disappointed and I guess that my fans are disappointed also but unless you were in my situation you wouldn't know what I went through."
