Whoever is using the "Loma had a shoulder injury" excuse to diminish the GREAT night Teofimo had ,, needs to accept Loma is not that great

and iirc , the "shoulder injury excuse" wasn't even his first excuse . His first excuse was blaming it on the judges and saying the fight was fixed . Once that excuse failed , he backtracked and went with the shoulder excuse
AJ accepts his losses and continues to challenge top fighters , That's Greatness
Loma does not accept his losses and fights the leftovers of his contemporaries resumes (pedraza, commey, nakatani) The media then hypes it up like he's fighting death row killers ... That's Not Greatness
Ray Leonard after losing to Duran: Duran got into my head and I didn't fight the fight I wanted.
Duran after losing to Leonard: I wasn't in shape.
Hearns after losing to Duran: I had a hard time making 147lbs.
Mayweather after the controversial decision against Castillio: I had a shoulder injury.
Mayweather after the controversial decision against Maidana: The ref was biased and let him fight dirty.
Pacquiao after losing to Morales: I didn't have the gloves I preferred.
Morales after losing to Pacquiao: I needed a break from the sport and I was weight drained.
Toney after losing to Jones: I didn't properly make the weight.
Teo after losing to Kambosos: I didn't properly make the weight
I could go on and on but you should get the point. Competitive great fighters don't believe they can be beaten and losing just means they weren't in top form. I'm more concerned about AJ's lack of not making excuses because no great fighter behaves that way no matter how much you want to think being a great sport after getting your ass whipped is great.
May be the case in basketball, maybe the case in football, and maybe the case in similar sports but in boxing, great fighters never admit to being an inferior fighter.
