    Just watched Jamie Moore vs Ryan Rhodes last night and considering how badly Moore needed to win that fight he showed a hell of a lot of class by lifting Rhodes up high in the ring.

    So who do you lads think has shown the classiest reaction in defeat?

    Zab Judah v Tyszu or Mayweather.

    took defeat like a gentleman, and is to be admired for his all round sportsmanship

    Although Moore said ''There may have been weight issues but I dont wanna talk about it as I dont wanna discredit his win'', that was actually stating ''I lost because of the weight''.

    Although he was nice to him after that fight.

    Tyszu was class after the Hatton fight.

    Paulie was surprisingly humble after the Kahn fight, S'pose he had no choice though

    All fighters in the Gatti-Ward and Izzy-Rafa series. Tyson took the Lewis defeat well. Cotto and David Diaz when beaten by Manny. Khan took the Prescott defeat well. There's loads.

    Tyson vs Douglas as well; King was stirring it up about the long count (which was a genuine stoppage IMO) but Tyson gave all credit to Douglas.

    Hatton took the Pacquiao defeat well - he didn't say a word and just kept quiet while Pac celebrated

    Actually i was asked the question "was weight an issue?" and i replied "maybe but i don't want to take away from Ryan he fought me at my own game and beat me so fair play to him".
    So not exactly how you put it.:good
