    Besides the toe excuses and the "I'm afraid of Ukraine" excuse, what are some of the worst boxing excuses that were used in losing a fight or ducking one?

    I don't see how the Ukraine excuse is dumb. He's still offering to fight in Germany which is very pro Vitali

    I Broke my little toe and could barely walk for a week...

    Was more able to function with a broken arm..

    Broken little toe heals after 2 weeks or less if you look after it.. So the excuse was petty. and wearing flip flops to show it off = facepalm


    Didn't George Foreman make up some funny excuses?

    "afraid of needles"
    "needs 6+ months to heal a cut on the forehead"
    "needs to build an outdoor arena"

    Pick a selection from Pacquaio/Arum or Mayweather

    The fight can occur in Kiev. Kiev is one of the most popular tourist cities in the world and the place is so liberal that there is virtually no racism. No one is telling Haye to go to the back country of Ukraine and fight. Many black fighters have fought in Moscow, and there never was an issue. Russia and Ukraine are almost identical in their position in race, and a fight in Kiev would be less risky in terms of racism for Haye than London.

    Irrelevant, Bob Arum or bull****. Nice try *****. Floyd is just as guilty if not more.

    I think both Mayweather and Pacquiao have made their fare share of pathetic excuses. I think someone being on one side and saying the other is the only one making the excuses just looks like an idiot.

    Floyd:
    "take a blood test to prove not on PED's"
    "40 million dollars"
    "my trainer is probably going to jail in two months"

    ---

    Those don't seem nearly as bad to me.

    But hey, I'm sure you wish that any form of drug testing, particularly boxers going above the useless and corrupt commissions' standards, is bad for the sport.
