Is it just me or is David Haye the answer to every topic poser right now?

Case closed, your honour!
I've never heard a more ridiculous excuse for a defeat in my life & that includes David Haye's toe.

Is that where Andrew Lewis' nick name came from? Andrew 6 turtle's heads Lewis.

Wlad claimed he was poisoned before the Brewster fight which may or may not have been far-fetched, but Roy Jones trumps it for me by claiming he lost the third fight versus Tarver on purpose because he didn't want his father taking the credit for the victory (Roy Sr was training his son again for that fight).

Berbick lost to Tyson, not simply because he got the stuffing beaten out of him no, he lost because 'they' pumped gas through the air conditioning in his hotel room.

It was the Ward loss he found hard to stomach, wasn't it?

That one was because it was close to Christmas, he was missing his family and it was cold in Atlantic City. He was also disappointed not to be fighting in Madison Square Garden.

He did. It messed up his weight apparently, despite for years before, and after, reckoning he walks around on weight.

I'm pretty sure Herbie Hide's book was full of bizarre excuses for losing. Was he supposedly poisoned before the Klitschko fight or something?
