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

What? I mean I know people have said he was sick but I'm not sure about that

 

If the cut is caused by a punch then it's not really a good excuse at all. It's like saying I would have won if my opponent hadn't won more rounds than me.

 

You gotta blame the tread mill on that one...The Treadmill didnt get the proper amount of power to properly work...There for Eddie could only run laps around the ring...Even the sidewalks seems to **** up when Eddie wanted to do roadwork...so he had to just go into the fight with Povetkin with his natural ability and hoping that his stamina would hold.:good

 

How about 'he caught me cold'?

 

That was not an excuse. Just a hilarious quote from Mike.

One of the best excuses ever for a loss was Foreman saying he was about to knock Ali out but got distracted when he saw his friend in the audience betray him by rooting for Ali and then the moment passed.

Another one for a poor performance (I thought he lost, but officially won) was Camacho talking about the fight with Rosario. He said he was scared all night long because his mother had given him a mean look in the dressing room and it affected his ring performance.

 

Quite true. I'd forgotten about those extenuating circumstances. :thumbsup

 

Gotta love when things dont go your way when its for the biggest fight in your career.

 

Before they changed the design of boxing gloves, you used to get this excuse a lot:

"I was thumbed!"

 

Roys is by far the worst....I love him but that is the worst excuse ever...

Your an old man & you got BEAT!

 

"Doctor used too much vaseline" is probably the craziest excuse.

 

hatton's excuse was priceless against mayweather he blamed the ref, judges, global warming and that he couldn't have a wank during training camp.. also for the pac fight he said "i didn't see the punch coming"

 

oh yh he also said he over gone it and "left it in the gym"

 

Bad Oysters??? That sounds familiar -was that De La Hoya?

 

Those 2 are fantastic.

And yeah the oyster quote was from De La Hoya after the first fight with Mosley.
