    From his fans, his team and his own mouth ?

    I know most here think that it's a VERY BIG "IF", but assume it happens for argument's sake.

    There are going to be some epic excuses.

    I'd imagine some sort of "poisoning" excuse will be included among the dozens of excuses.

    Also, Joshua's endorsement commitments will feature. People will say he never got any time to train ! LOL

    "weight drained" if he comes in anything under 251 pounds ....

    He spent all his energy up inside Amir Khan's wife.

    If he loses he gets a rematch which he will take
    If he loses that then the AJ hype gets obliterated
    AJ will beat Parker
    The same Parker that almost lost to Ruiz, went 12 hard with Takam

    The usual. Had a bad camp, robbery, ref was biased, was winning until he had his face smashed, he easily win a rematch etc etc

    Unfortunately excuses are part of boxing culture.
    To this day, people still make excuses for upsets that happened 30, 40, 80 years ago !
    I wish it wasn't so, but it is and always will be.
    I'd rather have a laugh about the excuse -making than believe we can wish it away.

    Obviously the manner in which a fighter loses influences the character of the excuses being put forth.
    The possibilities are endless, yes.

    McCracken gave AJ Flintstones vitamins instead of PEDs.

    They are, but they are a part most should ignore or avoid. I do understand though.
