    Anyone remember Tarver after the embarrasing one sided loss to hopkins. he wanted to badly to say that the weight loss from the Rocky movie had affected him it was killing him to have to hold it back but doing so would mean that he would have to conceed to Roy's story over the weight loss being a factor in his loss to Tarver.

    Any other examples like that? Like Leija being a little ***** and quitting in the Ward fight after he so harshly criticized camacho jr for quitting against him.

    Campbell didn't trash Guzman, in fact he was very classy about the whole thing.

    Difference being that the Campbell-Funeka fight still happened, but Guzman completely pulled out.

    Yeah that was pretty funny. My favorite was Cory Spinks in the Zab fight eventhough he didnt talk trash to Zab, the fact that he danced all the way to ring showing off with Nelly next to him only to get light up in the ring was the funniest **** ever.....:rofl

    Roy's loss to Traver was after Roy already beat Tarver; meaning, it was sort of bogus. So, if Tarver wanted to, he could have pulled the weight loss excuse. But, it would be just that, an excuse. The real reason Traver lost was because B-Hop is a better fighter.

    In fairness, I don't think that was the other guy's arguement. I agree that Nate was made to look stupid after trashing Guzman for not making the weight. Didn't Guzman pull out because he was dehydrated and wasn't healthy in the eyes of a Dr as opposed to Nate simply just not making weight?

    "Re-mortgage the house and empty the bank and put it all on me. I'm not ­getting ahead of myself. It's just the build of my opponent," he said of Pacquiao, who is an inch shorter than Hatton, "and how I feel. That's what I'm going on. Every day of the week I can beat this guy."

    mike tyson saying he will lewis children, and then only winning the first round of the fight. every time ricardo mayorga fight he ends up eating his words.
