[Abby26]

Ggg fans trying to make looking old an illness. dude is 37-38soon. accept it cowards he is old

[Roberto Vasquez]

Dont make excuses Hearn. Anybody who has trained for a fight night knows, fight night can be the best night or the weirdest night of your life. He trained, he fought, he didnt do well as expected. End of story.

An example of someone ignoring facts when something doesn't fit into their fanboy narrative

I have no idea if what he is saying is true, but if it makes a difference, the DAZN team mentioned there were rumors of golovkin being sick the whole week before the ring walks.

[P4Pdunny]

he's just getting older, and unable to pull the trigger like before

How many excuses does Pvssy-G need?

[j.razor]

It's quite possible, but it is what it is. We live in the real world and probably half the time guys come to the ring they ain't 100% for one reason or another, maybe their kids are sick or the missus is screwing around or they got legal problems or whatever... if you're too sick to fight safely then cancel, otherwise you don't make excuses (though I'm noting this is Hearn not GGG saying this).

That said if it is true it would add a little more frisson to the idea of a rematch, which is what I'm hoping we get next. Course Hean's doing what he got to do - whether GGG actually was ill or not it's a much better idea promotionally to sell this as an off night than irreversible deterioration. Time will tell, I guess.

T.B.E. went through a life time of drama out the ring & STILL came out on top.

I never know how to respond when someone calls Floyd TBE so Ima kinda ignore it, but there's no doubt Floyd was a phenomenal fighter.

But yeah, simple fact we often ignore is that not a huge amount separates victory from loss in boxing and it's the guys that have enough margin to still pull it off when they're having the inevitable off night or bad styles match up that end up being the ones we call truly special. It's just as much about what you can do on your worst day as what you can do on your best.

There’s no limit to the mound of ***** Hearn is stacking. From the Whyte B sample fiasco to this complete BS.

The announcers were talking about the rumors of GGG possibly being sick prior to the fight.

[Boxing Goat]

why are fighters always sick when they have tough fights?

Was Spence sick when he got touched up by Porter?

[Boxing Goat]

Love these post fight escape clauses

Not quite Pac level, though. That one is hard to top.

How is it an excuse? That he was sick leaked before the fight.
