Roy Jones.

which fighters have the most excuse made for them

Tyson has to be number 1
Roy Jones JR has to be second
Hatton is the next fighter to spring to mind


who do u think has the most excuses made for them

Your list is good.. if not for being incomplete.. Floyd Mayweather's name could replace anyone of those 3

[moy22487]

you must be crazy he does give credit to his opponents...dlh is the #1 here in this case, "it wasn't the night of the jab"

thats just him saying what he didnt do enough of, thats not an excuse. and excuse is like i was weight drained, or not the right socks. i see oscars comment as him judgeing his performance

a good oscar excuse would be putting **** on his trainers.

[deuce_drop]

Zab Judah maybe...

judah definitely not maybe, every fight he's either blaming the promoter, or the ref, or this and that, low blows, etc.................

[Ray*]

Any fighter who has the guts to say he doesnt want to fight someone else because he Verbally abuse me gets it for me..Hatton the crybaby.

made FOR

remember the question is made FOR them..

I have to say the Klitschkos...their fans (nuthuggers all) seem to try and explain away Wlads many knockdowns and KO losses
and Vitali's quitter attitude and the bloody pummeling he recieved at the hands of Lennox Lewis

Evander Holyfield:

According to his most devoted supporters, he only lost to Moorer and Bowe (3rd fight) because of his health problems and a dodgy decision on the Moorer fight, would have KO'd Bowe in the rematch if not for Fan Man and won that fight clearly, had a poor fight with Lummox in the "draw" because he lost his motivation after not fulfulling God's plan to score a KO in round 3, won the Lewis rematch, and beat Ruiz all 3 times.

Mike Tyson:

Really beat Douglas, only lost to Holyfield because of the headbutts (like Tyson has always been some clean fighter), only lost to Lewis because of meds, would have retired undefeated if he kept Rooney, etc....

Oscar De La Hoya:

Clearly beat Whitaker, Quartey, Mayweather, and even beat Sturm, suffered two of the worst robberies ever against Trinidad and Mosley, only lost to Tito because he got overconfident and stayed away (nevermind DLH admitting that he was tired and his legs were shaking), was beating Hopkins before the body shot, etc....

Vitali Klitschko:

The Klit-lickers maintain his losses to Tyrd and Lummox (whom apparently to them put something on his gloves to cut ****ali) don't count because he was ahead on points (as if staying healthy enough to finish a fight isn't part of being a boxer), it was perfectly fine to have to be forced by the WBC to fight Rahman and then cancel 4 straight times with Rahman and try to cut in line for a title shot and cancel again against Jameel. Also, his positive roid test in 1996 was merely "accidental and for an injury", but when other guys use the same excuse, they are "clearly lying cheaters".

James Toney:

It's always how if only he were to get in shape, he'd be unbeatable. It's part of who he is!!! He's not a dedicated trainer.

Good post! Well laid out.

[Lazy Liberal]

Morales really didn't acknowledge Barrera and dismissed Zahir Raheem as not putting up a fight. JC Chavez made alot of excuses. Remember when he said he was going to sue richard Steele for his officiating in the Randall fight. The Oscar fights when Chavez blamed the 1st loss on his son head butting him and in the 2nd quitting on his stool and then going ballistic on ray torres after the fight. zab Judah ,another excuse prone fighter.
