What fighters are most gracious in defeat?

[JonesJrMayweather]

It's always good to see good sportmanship. How ironic that Tyson, after the Lennox Lewis beatdown, was one of the most gracious losers ever.

Notables:
1-Hamed after the Barrera fight
2-Corrales after the Castillo KO loss
3-Mayorga after the Spinks and Delahoya losses. (putting the belt around Spinks' waste)
4-Tszyu after the Hatton loss
5-Hatton after the Mayweather loss (HAHAHAHA!)

well NOT maywether after the upcoming judah loss

judah after the lost to junior witter..he was real class gave nothing but respect to witter...oh wait he won that one didn't he...or did he? huh Sal?

[SalTheButcher]

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.

[NUCLEAR BULL]

evander holyfiled in both his defeats to riidick " big daddy " bowe

[LBSCFC]

Jack Dempsey when he lost to Tunney. he was also gracious before the fight shaking his eventual conquerors hand

[sanj16]

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!!

"1-Hamed after the Barrera fight"

Deserves no mention in this thread because he was such as bad winner...

[El Kabong]

Tarver had a right to be a jerk. He beat Johnson and the judges robbed him.

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.

B-Hop after the first Taylor fight

[Saddo]

you know I can't stand Tyson but after both his losses to Evander and Lewis he was very humble

yeah he was bang on respectful and full of class after the first loss to holyear

[ElTerribleMorales]

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

[El Kabong]

Tommy Hearns was VERY gracious after he was declared the loser of the Leonard rematch....he beat the shit outta Ray in that fight!

Norton in losing the fights to Ali

[X]

Hey, the guy whiped sweat off of Lewis' face. Either that was real classy, or Mike went momentarily gay.

He was taking his hand off to Lewis.


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

[slick22]

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.
