    He was all class after the Hatton fight.
    I'll add Kessler, and of course, Mosley.

    Seconded! Even after Margarito got caught and banned Cotto didn't start mouthing off his loss or try to get it stuck from his record.

    De La Hoya? Are you serious?

    Just like when he lost to Mosley and cried all the way to his locker throwing
    " F " bombs and demanding a recount of the amount of punches thrown!!!

    I agree....even after getting his ear eaten for dinner.


    Especially not Hopkins....low class before and after a fight.

    Some of the guys being named are full of excuses when they lose or don't perform well.

    Mosley usually has excuses or claims he won the fight, with the Cotto loss being an exception.

    De La Hoya tended to have his share of excuses as well.

    Holyfield too.

    Hearns was usually gracious, except for the time he threatened a boo-ing fan in the audience late in his career.

    Corrales was gracious in defeat. Maybe not to his stepfather, but at least in the interviews.
