You're right, smitty, people will conjure up the most creative excuses for failure.
If a fighter is not prepared, it is his, or her fault, no one else's. End of story.

Firstly you would have to say it is the fighters fault, he must know in his own mind whether he is ready to fight or not and that's mentally and physically, then secondly his trainer should be the one that pushs him to the point where he is in prime condition physically to fight. And say if his preparation hasn't gone as well as planned (ie due to a bad injury or say a death in the family) then it is down to the fighter to make the decision as to whether he gets in the ring or not.
Also Smitty are you having your answers removed for no reason and getting violations and you don't know why, i have asked a question about it, have a look at it if you get time, i put in the boxing section anyway.

It can only be one of two people the trainer or the fighter him or her self the mental part of boxing is the most neglected aspect of boxing you have a lot of trainers that just say go get,em and the fighter has not had the input he needs to get in there with the confidence he needs

when a fighter is not ready it will always be his fault. but when you break it down into physical and mental there is a bit of shared responsibility. it is shared with the coach when the fighter is not physically ready. but the mental thing is something only the fighter can do for himself. fighters need to learn how to ignore distractions.

No one is at fault. The result of the fighters fatigue, could have been the pressing point for him to win. It may not had happened like that but it was always a 50/50 chance. A fair fight is one where if you gamble, it's a guess, not a sure thing...

Comes down to the fighter and his corner men ultimately. Some examples would be Tyson's undoing started when he lost people from his corner. Ali had one of the best corners with Brown and Dundee. Some examples of fighters mentality would be Spinks fighting Tyson--Spinks was scared to death. It was apparent as soon as the fight started. You could see that type of fear in most of the fighters that fought Tyson until after the Douglas fight.

It's the fighter's trainers fault.
The trainer should know when his fighter is ready.
He should also know when his fighter is ready to move up a class. But the fighter need to tell his trainer if he's ready.

The fighter that doesnt feel 100% is at fault...If he isnt feeling 100% He needs to call off the fight.
