The Official "NO EXCUSES !!" Thread

[DIOS DOMINICANO]

Excuses the Hattonettes can't use if their man loses:

1) Floyd was just a runner. He hit and run.
2) The judges just gave it to Mayweather in his hometown
3) Ricky fought in Las Vegas. They should fight in Manchester.
4) They fought at 147. Ricky is not a welterweight.
5) The ref would not let Ricky fight his fight.
6) The punchstat numbers are all wrong.
7) Ricky hurt Floyd in the 4th round lol omg hahahaha
8) If Ricky didn't get cut or swollen...
9) Floyd was cheating with his elbow...
10) We didn't Floyd to start trading
11) The ref stopped it too soon. We want Smoger for the rematch.
12) The ring dictor should not have stopped it...

Excuses the Mayweatherites can't use if their man loses:

1) Ricky was the bigger man
2) Ricky fought dirty
3) Floyd had a short training camp ...DWTS
4) Floyd underestimated Ricky
5) Ricky headbutted Floyd.
6) Floyd had too many distractions
7) The judges gave it to "the likeable" fighter...


Mayweather offered Ricky several fights over the past couple of years. Ricky has been fighting on TV. We know exactly who he is, what he does, and what to expect. Floyd said that Ricky is "the most overrated fighter of the past 25 years". Floyd said he is very confident.

Hatton has said that he and Graham have had Floyd on their radar for YEARS. They said they know exactly how to beat Floyd. Ricky said "there's no chance in hell " that Floyd beats him. All of Floyd's fights have been on TV and PPV. Ricky has attended several FMJ fights in person. We know exactly who Floyd is, what he does, and what to expect.

Both fighters are in their prime. Both have been active and fought this year. Both fighters are healthy. Both fighters are being paid well and have good management and promotion. Both fighters have clean personal lives free from major distractions.

This should be a short thread. NO EXCUSES FROM EITHER CAMP.... NONE!!

If you can think of any other excuses that the other camp might use, post 'em. But please don't turn this into another argument thread. There are plenty of those.


IF YOUR MAN LOSES, JUST TAKE THE HIT. BE A MAN.

NO EXCUSES ON DECEMBER 9TH. NONE.

Fair enough.

There has to be a disclaimer for Bad judging surely?

GET. A. LIFE.

[WLAD OWNS]

This must be a daily record for Hatton vs Mayweather threads, I am officially sick of all these threads and bias posts. "No Mas"

[Rane-Ex54]

nice list, add to no excuses for mayweather "He didn't train as hard because of dancing with the stars" haha

[oovavu]

Why do you care so much?

[NeXt In Line]

There has to be a disclaimer for Bad judging surely?

Should the judging be sincerely bad ala Whitaker-Chavez, then I spose yes there is room for excuses. However otherwise, there isn't much wiggle room.

As my sig states I'm expecting Floyd to destroy Ricky and if he loses I'll just tip my hat to Ricky cause I like the kid but I just think Floyd is too much for him.

[Fox McCloud]

Technical decisions should not count either, I think an excuse is okay in the case of an accidental headbutt ending the fight.

Fighters make a gameplan for a 12 round fight, not a 5 round fight cut short by an accidental headbutt.

If Ricky gives the first four round away to just **** on whatever he can of Floyd's (like his elbows, hips, whatever), he won't score much, but it would be working towards his strategy. In that case, if the fight ended then, Mayweather would have won the fight, but he didn't have to survive through the bulk of what Hatton had to bring.
