    Make an excuse for a fighter you really believe it was a legit excuse

    Go ahead and make an excuse for a fighter you legitimately thought he had an excuse for a loss. For evry fighter that makes a ****ty excuse (****ing paleman Hatton and Mr. Olympia Kelly Pavlik) there is a legit excuse somewhere I believe.

    Allan Green vs. Edison Miranda - The man got had his colon removed after the fight. Gotta give him a pass.

    Juan Diaz vs. Nate Campbell - Quite simply Diaz is the better fight. He would of beat Campbell if not for the cut. The cut was caused by a punch so can't complain. Still I got Diaz beating Campbell 9 times out of 10.

    Ricardo Torres would have taken out Kendall Holt in the rematch if not for the headbutt to the chin and then getting caught up in the ropes.

      If PAC's bad cut didn't happen against Erika the first time. PAC would've had his hands raised at the end of that fight, OR Erika may have not even seen the end of the fight!

        Nice, forgot about that one. Usually a KO loss in the first round has never looked better in a record.

              Another good one. If we're going there then I gotta say Tarver dropping the Rocky weight against B-Hop.

                I agree it affected the fight, but I believe Hopkins might have won anyway. I dont feel Tarver would have beat Jones tho. A lot of people amuse me when they think Oscar dropping 7lbs affected him horribly against Pac but Roy/Antonio dropping 25+ is just excuses.

                  Oh I agree also. I always thought Tarver was overrated.

                    I lost 25 lbs once and wasnt the same for awhile. It was a valid excuse. They only thing with tarver is that he was bashing roy for it and bashing roy for it and was saying its just an excuse and he wasnt going to use it after the hops fight bc he didnt think that it was going to be a problem than he got tourched. I agree in anyway hops beats tarver. Hops D is was to good and his counter punches are just always on point. But i sometimes take that away from tarver bc of all the crap he talked on roy for useing it and really he couldnt use it.
