    I have sparred guys like that and it knocks the wind out of you and hurts your body to miss after swinging hard at someone.

    Almost forgot Liston in the Ali fight hurt his shoulder too.

    Deontay Wilder might not be among the greatest heavyweights of all time, but he is up with anybody in terms of making awful excuses!

    He certainly is, but notice the difference in how we treat him and his lame excuse compared to Manny.? People actually take credit away from Floyd for his win because of Manny's excuse....Floyd will die in his grave before he ever gets any credit for beating Manny...

    I've brought it up before (believe I even got banned for it) but the ALL TIME lamest excuse is still the lights being too hot for Maxim vs SRR.... That was right on par with Deontays costume was too heavy...

    It's just weird how we pick and choose who to give passes for and who not

    Pacquaio was given a TUE for WADA banned Celestone (corticosteroid) and had a full range of motion and was talking the "salt water" idiocy after the fight. He also was competitive until Floyd adapted midfight which is par for the course in Mayweather fights.

    I'm gonna go with Haye's injury being more legit.

    Pacquaio also claimed to have the flu or a cold or something in the post fight interview for Horn.

    Also didn't he claim he wore the wrong socks for someone else? Morales maybe
