The worst excuses made by boxers?

Haye's toe
Juan Manuel Lopez accusing the referee of having a gambling problem
Holyfield blaming any subpar performance on some random injury or ailment he never mentioned before the fight

 

I will take your posts seriously if you first answer this question... Are you a *****?

 

If Haye has a legit problem fighting their because of racist death threats, then it should be moved. I'd feel the same way he would. It's not like he wants it in the UK or even a neutral country. He's offering to fight in Germany.

It's like Sergio telling Chavez, I don't want to fight in Meixco because of death threats from Mexicans there, but I'll fight in Texas

 

The toe excuse is hard to beat. I mean, it just doesn't make sense on any level.

It would be bad enough to just blame the loss on the bad toe, worse still to actually whop it out straight after the fight. But stand on top of a table at a press conference and show off your little pinky to the world's media :rofl

You don't talk for years about how you're going to do everything short of killing this guy when you finally get in the ring with him, only blame your little toe when it turns out he was better than you thought.


Other honorable mentions:
- Pac being weakened by having blood taken prior to Morales
- Pac wearing the wrong socks against Morales
- Povetkin claiming that Huck smelt so bad he couldn't perform properly
- Khan blaming his losses on 'a silly mistake that WE made'

I could go on forever

 

"I had on the wrong socks"

"I didnt want my dad to get any credit so I lost"

:rofl

 

My health come first . When did a fighter ever was afraid for his health atsch. If you're a fighter and you're concern about your health then it's time to do something else.

 

The toe, then he takes it out to show the extent of the damage. Lol

 

doesnt every thread?

 

Socks, gloves, cramps, car accident, blood drawn made me weak(but didn't tell this to Larry Merchant during the Morales lost post fight interview but said this till he got back to the Phillipines)I'm too small,(Floyd's bigger than me) to name a few.

 

I know one is Roy Jones , who is the other?

 

:rofl don't be so ****ing stupid! That is a truly ridicilous comment. **** off

 

Good Post :good

 

There's been lot of pathetic excuses in boxing history, but Roy Jones' ¨I lost on purpose because I didn't want to give my dad any credit¨ probably takes the cake.

honorable mention for Pac's socks and Haye's toe story
