one thing you can say about Naseem. Â For all his confidence and all his brash talking. Â When it came time for him to be defeated he handled it with nothing but class. Â And that speaks volumes more then boxing could. Â People have been less brash and accepted defeat worse. Â He took it better then anyoen who was supposedly cocky etc.. wheras if you lose and don't accept defeat then it's less respectable. Â But I respect Hamed for accepting that loss like a man and with class.
well he actually didn't have a choice for that matter. if it was a close fight I am not sure if he would have showed the humility he did, its just he was so thoroughly schooled and embarrased that any attempt at excuses and alibis would have brought him more shame, so in a way he did the sensible thing and accepted his defeat.
Something Morales never learned. Â Morales got humiliated worse then Hamed ever did in his loss and he didn't accept it like a man. Â he even thought he beat Rahee,m and that he could have continued against Pacquiao :

thats very true but Hamed was a borderline fraud he made his money and fame because of marketability for being an entertainer than a fighter. Morales is a legend who made his money and fame by having his fists do the talking and when you have been great your whole life and are being told that by everyone if you are to schooled that bad it poses a question mark on everything you have believed and resemble obviously this is still no excuse for being unsportsmanlike but this is how most great fighters think. Ali, RJJ, Duran, they all had huge egos thats why they were great
"Very few people really understand what it means to be a fighter. I hate it when I hear someone say, 'That fighter doesn't have guts. I hate that, I don't care if you're a world champion six times over or a four-round fighter, to step inside that ring, you have to have guts" Oscar De La Hoya
