    Kermit Cintron= Potential G.O.A.T.

    In making the most outrageous and hilarious excuses.

    These are probably my top 2 (paraphrased):

    "I was about to knock out Ali but I got distracted because I saw my friend in the audience betray me by rooting for Ali and by the time I got over it the moment had passed"- George Foreman

    "I performed poorly because I was scared when my mother gave me a mean look in the dressing room. In the ring, I was still scared and bothered by the look my mom gave me."- Hector Camacho

    I would've had Roy Jones talking about not wanting to win because his father would get the credit, but that might've just been totally taken out of context by the writer (Tim Smith I think).

    But now, Kermit Cintron has to join this prestigious list:

    “Because the Cotto fight wouldn’t happen until June, I’d like to get a rematch against Sergio Martinez. Some people disputed the draw. Look, the guy wore so much hair gel and moose, that the fumes were making me dizzy. And I still managed to put it on him on only 4 weeks’ notice. Let’s clear the air for good. With an eight week camp, I knock him out. Simple as that!”
    I hope Cintron was kidding.

      It's in his autobiography "By George", which came out in the 90s.

      He also implies that his cornerman gave him water which drugged him, although he had no problem hiring Archie Moore again in the 90s.

      Foreman is a strange guy.

          I think Cintron was just playing when he said that. No one in their right mind can say something like that and mean it.

            This thread made my day. Funniest **** I've read in a damn while. Cintron is on the list but what Foreman said is in the pantheon of epic excuses.

              Ali said he was knocked down by Henry Cooper because he was distracted looking at Elizabeth Taylor who was seated ringside. .

                  Well I'm about to say something crazy.

                  I thought the Martinez/Cintron fight was actually close round by round.

                  HE DID deserve to get KO'ed. I agree with that for sure. Still I thought then and think now that round by round he gave nearly as good as he took other than the kd (KO) of course.

                  I know I'm in the minority.

                    Matt Skelton said he lost a title challenge to Ruslan Chagaev because his size advantage was negated by the fact he was ****.
