Kosta took defeat very well........until he got back to Oz and then blamed it all on the low blow.

Holyfield probably takes defeat better than anyone though. As long as he shows 'improvment and adjustment' he's perfectly happy to lose and carry on plugging away. Nothing fazes the man.

Finally I presume Reggie Strickland is fine with losing else he'd have all the bitterness in the world on his shoulders.
I have to go with the arrogant Tarver after losing to the arrogant Hopkins. RJJ had his LOSING WEIGHT EXCUSE after losing to Tarver, but when Tarver lost to Hopkins he said that he felt great in training all the way up to the fight and he had no excuses
To be fair though if Tarver would have blamed the weight he would have basically been admitting that that was the only reason he beat Jones Jr in the first place.

It wouldn't have been quite true as he beat Jones twice (three times in my opinion) and the weight excuse doesn't hold on all three fights but that is what everyone would have said.

I actually feel sorry for Tarver. It's embarrassing watching him fight these days the way the crowd boo him. It's like he's a convicted sex offender or something, it has to affect him.

I actually quite like Tarver really, an ex drug addict who turned his life around.
