    He beat Junior witter pretty decisively IMO. The sucker just ran the last 4 rounds or so.

    Witter got a cramp in the third round from all the running. So he was forced to actually fight for a while. And damn, if he didn't manage to actually stun Judah. Between rounds, the cramp went away and he went back to running. Fuckin moran.

    Look at any of SRR defeats!! Always the first man to congratulate and shake the hand of the victor. Then probably beat him in a rematch 4 days later (or something equally rediculous). Boxers were hard in those days!!

    And you say Roy was classy when he lost to Johnson? How's that? The only shots I remember see ing of Roy were him looking like he was dead for about 20 seconds after he got hit.
    It wasn't on the same night obviously. He just said he was glad he could give Johnson the chance to fight him and the chance to stop working outside of boxing.

    Oscar De La Hoya against Trinidad, Mosley (both, especially the rematch that he actually won)

    amazingly enough most MMA fighters are very respectful and gracious in defeat

    John Ruiz graciously pays his lawyers to file a lawsuit after every defeat??

    Diego Corrales. Even after he knocked Castillo unconscious on the ropes Corrales wanted to make sure he was okay and give him his respect after the fight.
