    He wasn't really a total ass about it, nor was he really gracious.

    He was somewhere in the middle. Only the Cotto fight. I applaud him for losing a close fight and not complaining. Most fighters claim they won the close fight.

    I was going to say with the exception of those two defeats, but they were very controversial loses [which he both won IMO] and anyone would be angry to be on the bad side of those.

    But I was thinking more of the first Mosley fight, Hopkins and Mayweather fights when he just seemed to act as if the better man won fair and square.

    He didn't even know he lost. He was too busy looking good.

    Israel Vasquez is the current boxer that shows the most class in defeat. I remember when he was Koed by Larios he posed in the ring for pics and seemed very gracious and genuine.

    Mikkel Kessler, after the loss to Calzaghe I think he won a lot of new fans thanks in part to the humble and gracious way he accepted the defeat.

    Tyson was a gracious loser at times.
