not a decent excuse is it, he didn't have the legs because Fury had knocked the crap out of him...

I was being ironic emmie.

I know TTT....

if he's getting cream crackered wearing a "heavy" costume then he probably shouldn't be in a heavyweight world title fight!

[emmie]

Indeed, seems such a lame excuse. I wonder if they will have that third match up.

[Old_Geezer]

It all sounds rather moronic. Having a costume in the first place (does he think he's a wrestler or something) then claiming he's so unfit he couldn't wear it and be ok afterwards, and the suggestion it was the reason he lost... well there's the definition of denial for you. But whatever helps him lift his spirits, that's ok.

He might have a point. Tyson didn't even walk to the ring.
