"But he didn't train properly!" - The worst excuse in sports history?

I thought it was the 1st morales fight

 

Juan Pablo Angel complained that the reason he was wank in England at football is because the grass was too long.

Football (soccer) players can rival anyone for stupid excuses.

 

What about Pavlik saying he was so ill before the Hopkins? Or Tarver saying "somebody drug me" going in the Hopkins fight?

 

I would have won if it wasn't for the cut

 

Bad oysters

Familia problems

Stomach cramps

Painful divorce

 

Don't forget the some broad massaged my calves before the fight excuse.

 

You don't want your legs messaged before or during a fight.

That is as wrong as drinking too much water.

 

Pavlik claimed he had a 120 degree temperature

 

"I was poisoned/drugged"
"the green man did it"

 

Not a fighter but Emanuel Steward said that the reason Hearns lost to Hagler (or may have been Leonard) is because his legs were massaged before the fight. atsch

 

Bika claiming he lost to Bute because he almost drowned the day before in a hotel swimming pool's gotta be up there.

Fans who blame Eddie Chambers' loss on Povetkin solely to him not being in shape. Well, it was a title eliminator and the biggest fight of his life at that point- if he didn't show up in shape, who the hell's fault was that?? lol

 

"He's not Prime"

 

Nah,dats a believable excuse,a cut eye does bother u and really effects your performance

 

Hello,that is an excuse,and a person should never get credit for beating someone else thtas not in their prime
