What's with all these excuses ?

[Zhaakal]

I will give you some examples:

1) Cotto was ruined by Margo when he lost to Pac

2) Jones was shot when he lost to Johnson etc.

3) Clottey had diarreha when he lost to Pac

4) Pavlik was a smaller man when he lost to Hopkins

5) The referee was to blame when Ruiz lost to Jones

6) The referee was to blame when Hatton lost to Mayweather

7) *Fighter* lost to Pac becouse he is on steroids

8) Green had loaded gloves when he beat Jones

9) Ruiz was too old and shot when he lost to Haye

Can someone please name me a fight where two great fighters met and there was no friggin excuse. He was too old, too green, undertrained, got a BJ before a fight, was too small, was too big, ate the wrong food the morning of the fight. Can't we just say: Yeah, he got his ass whooped becouse the other guy was just simply better.

After every fight a excuse pops up and that makes me sick





Sorry for my rant.

Feel free to add your dumb excuses.

The Margo/Cotto fight was good for about an hour after the fight, then a local radio station in Puerto Rico started a rumor saying Margo was on roids...

I guess that is just that nature of the beast. No one can except a loss now-a-days.

[skullduggery]

marg got owned by mosley.....
diaz got owned by jmm

martinez and williams had the fight of the year imo.....

Jones got owned by Hops

Well hello

[Zhaakal]

It just pisses me off that fans start making excuses and can't admit that their fighter just got owned.

[SplitSecond]

no, an all time great has never lost in his prime

Some of those are completely ridiculous, although a few can be argued.

1. Can be argued. Although I think Pacquiao would have beaten a prime Cotto that night.

2. Very true. The weight he cut off from the Ruiz fight ruined his body. You could tell from the first Tarver fight. Even though he won, his reflexes and most of his athleticism was gone.

3. I really hope nobody believed this...LOL

4. Very true. He did move up two weight classes so that could have had an effect on him, but that doesn't change the fact that's Pavlik is one-dimensional.

5. Bull****. It is never okay to try to **** your opponents.

6. Same as #5.

7. Half of the people saying this are fangirls.

8. I just wanna know why Jones Jr is the only person in the world who said this...Shouldn't Jones' trainer be watching Green wrap his hands? Very hard to believe.

9. Most of the people complaining about this are Haye haters and Klitschko fangirls


As for a fight with no excuses...uhhh...Pavlik-Taylor? That was the last fight of Taylor's prime, so there's absolutely no excuse. Pavlik gets all of the credit for that fight.

Jeff Fenech claims he lost the 2nd fight to Azumah Nelson because he was screwing too many women.

George Foreman blamed the loss to Muhammad Ali on being drugged, the ropes, and being distracted in the audience by a disloyal friend rooting for Ali.

Hector Camacho claimed he performed poorly against Edwin Rosario because he was scared by a mean look his mother gave him in the dressing room.
