Biggest liars after a loss

[Bombardier]

It's nice when guys like Leija admit that they were simply beaten by a better fighter when they lose, but I understand if a guy doesn't want to lose any more face after a pounding and makes a flimsy excuse or two in the post-fight interview. But I am sick and tired of these guys who continue to throw out ****** excuses months AFTER the loss. Now Sharma Mitchell is telling us that he lost of Kostya because he was so weak from losing weight? (got this from *********) Give me a break. He claims that Kostya's punches didn't really hurt him, but that he was just a bit weak in the knees. Right...

Sharmba's always been one of the worst for this. Syd Vanderpool's another guy I can't stand after a loss. He'll tell you over and over that he beat the guy until he's reminded that he actually lost...then he goes silent.

Can anyone name any other notorious excuse-makers?

What's your excuse tonight Roy?

Sharmba Mitchell after the first Tszyu fight!!

Mitchell was caught on TV asking his corner to stop the fight and said after the fight he was forced to quit by the corner/doctor

Everybody has an excuse when they lose. There is an excuse. A loss is a loss with or without an excuse. Tyson's knee blew out on him, but he isn't bitching about it. He excepts his loss. Trinidad didn't make any excuses after his loss to BHop. DLH on the other hand, the only time he excepted his loss was after BHop, then they are partners..... You make the call here.

The only thing you can say after a loss, is the best man won.

Exactly, for all the people who hate Jim Grey this was certainly a reason to like him...

Sharmba flat out lied to his face and Jim called him on it, not many guys would have done that...I love watching Sharmba being put on the spot!

I thought Pernell Whitaker claiming he beat Trinidad was humorous. Erik Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera are famous for saying "They had a bad night."

Fighters need to lie to THEMSELVES.
Boxing's all about confidence....if you convince yourself that you lost because "you weren't yourself", it will motivate you to go on.

Pacquiao is famous for wearing the wrong socks.

that one is the best, mitchell is like, "i wanted to continue but my corner wouldnt let me" then they play the footage and the doctor is like "do you want to fight" all he kept saying was that he cant feel his leg and cant move, he wouldnt acknowledge her in the hopes that she would stop the fight. which is what happened. very weak

Exactly...when a fight is somewhat close there is not a fighter on the planet that will say..."yeah he beat me." Sure 99% of the people scoring the fight may have had it two rounds for one guy but the other guy most likely believes that he was the victor...he has to at the very least convince himself of that.

I remember boxing six hard rounds one particular day and afterward I thought it was a no brainer that I had won the fight...to my surprise the few people that watched the fight thought the other guy got me by a bit...I was arguing/pleading my case but they saw what they saw. I still think I won this particular fight just like real prizefighters argue...

When you go to war it is damn tough to admit defeat if the fight is anywhere near close, fighters say they won not because they are lying about what happened...because they really truly think that they got the better of the opponent, remember there is no real scoreboard.
