The two Taylor fights were close and controversial, it wasn't a matter of "excuses". He doesn't deny that he lost to Roy Jones. You just start watching when Floyd fought Oscar?
Excuses? He had a legit gripe in both JT fights. And besides those two losses, his only losses came from RJJ and he never complained about that and his first loss as a pro. I don't think you can put too much stock into the first loss of your career.
He'll announce that he has credible sources that have conclusive proof that Calzaghe bleached his skin when he came to England from Nigeria.
hopefully fights one more farewell fight, this time at the Spectrum in Philly...and depending on who wins Taylor/Pavlik 2, he could get a fight with Taylor...a chance for him to redeem his close losses and a chance for Taylor to get back in the 160-175 mix after two straight losses...a la Hopkins
Why should he give credit to Winky? He completely outclassed him. And JT? Please. You put a prime Hopkins in the ring with this guy and he destroys him. And do you expect Hopkins to say great things about a guy he's going to fight? Hopkins is playing the mind game. He doesn't give an inch. It's pyschological war fare right now.
