The excuses thread. Please, post your best excuses!

'I was drugged'

-Wladimir Klitshko

 

That's right. If I remember correctly, it was 'spinal.'

:goodgood

 

"i had 8249759204 broken ribs, 2 big ass nostrils that made me take in too much oxygen causing gastric inflation, both my hands were broken, my toes were hurt, fifty bit my dick on accident while sucking it, leanard ellerbe put 2 fingers in my butt (usually it's just one)"

"Vaseline, KFC, chocolate and Don King".
-Wladimir Klitschko

Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of BOTH Klitschkos but this excuse is classic. :yep

 

first of all, he didn't say the former, and secondly how is the latter an excuse and not an accurate assessment?

 

Chocolate and KFC, I never heard him say that before, but thats pretty funny if he did.

 

Yesterday I ate bad oysters

--Oscar de la Hoya

 

thats not an excuse he beat etienne in 1round

 

"I came down too fast from my caffeine high"- Vinny Paz

 

I make no excuses BUT ...

 

"Turns out I'm a homosexual."

-David Haye

 

That wasn't even an excuse, because that came after Tyson knocked out Etienne in a the first round. It was a supposed explanation for all the stuff leading up to the fight, with rumors of Tyson being sick, Etienne wanting to pull out, Tyson getting a facial tattoo, and people not being sure if the fight was even going to take place. Freddie Roach even showed public frustration with Tyson's antics.

 

Camacho said his poor performance against Rosario was because he was still frightened from a mean look his mother gave him in the locker room before the fight.

 

Enzo Maccarinelli - I dropped my hands and put my chin in the air - I would have retired Haye otherwise.
