    I believe De La Hoya sharted inside of panties during his fight with Oba Carr.



    Duran threatened to do the same before his corner just told him to quit and not literally "stink out the joint".

    Many years ago a middleweight Lou Schwartz who was married to my sister's friend came to my house. I asked Lou Schwartz this question",Lou Jake LaMotta kod you in the first round
    in Norfolk ,Va. What happened ? Schwartz replied seriously. "How could I get up before 10, when I didn't hear the count" ? What could I have replied, without insulting him ?

    For a while I thought he was suffering from a bout of VD. I can't remember if he referred to this interview in his book.

    Vinnie Paz blaming his loss to a prime RJJ on the fact he'd drank too much coffee and was coming down from a caffeine high.

    I think the standard is the classic Jack Roper's "I zigged, when I should of zagged" reasoning of his defeat against Louis.

    I quite like Greg Haugen's comeback post Chavez fight, when he is reminded of his infamous 'Chavez has only beaten Tijuana Taxi drivers' quote:

    "They were TOUGH Taxi drivers!"

    Lou Nova takes this by a country mile.

    He said that he was not able to deploy his cosmic punch against Joe Louis because the rotation of the earth was wrong.
