    Kostya Tszyu: This guy grabbed the mic and told M.E.N. arena what a great fighter Ricky Hatton was.

    He's nice to the guy who beats him, but still makes too many excuses and talks trash afterwards.

    You are right Naseem was more gracious in defeat than he ever was in victory.
    Trinidad did very well also considering the height of the fall.
    Ward & Gatti, well, if it wasn't for the belt you wouldn't be able to tell from the post fight photos who won the fight.

    He's nice to his opponent after losing, then later on he starts making excuses about not training right and talks about how Cory fought like a woman or something.

    So?That means he is not gracious in losing or winning?Not being gracious in losing is when Morales and Barrera had a scuffle after the fight was over before the decision(the third fight) when Barrera threw a towel over Erik's face

    Gerry Cooney after the Foreman fight. Complete gentleman.

    & Genaro Hernandez after Mayweather.

    At the other end of the scale the absolute worst is obviously James Toney. Zero class.

    I don't think it's gracious to later on make excuses and say the other guy fought like a woman.

    He's nice after the fight though, credit to him for that

    It was Morales who threw the water bottle at Barrera after the 3rd fight. barrera went over to touch gloves, and Morales said something to him, and threw a water bottle at him.

    No, too many excuses in his losses.

    Diego Corrales, as angry or devastated as he'd be after losing, didn't make excuses or downgrade the other guy's win. He refused to even talk about how Castillo's camp tried to cheat the scales.

    Too many excuses/ailments.
