    Tyson after Douglas was mentioned. As I recall Tyson was very gracious after both the Douglas and the Holyfield I losses. At least immediately afterward in the ring in post fight interviews.

    How about Ali? I don't think he ever gave Joe Frazier credit for beating him. Or Ken Norton

    Holyfield had many injury excuses.

    Muhammad had given Joe and Ken credit quite a few times for beating him.

    Maidana, Quartey, Pacquiao, Hagler. Khan started rewatching the fight and ****yzing the audience after he lost to Peterson.

    Surprised Hagler didn't come up sooner or more prominently.

    Now that I think of it Vitali was a sore loser of note as well.

    Hagler. Dude can hold a grudge with the best of them. In reality, he only has himself (trying to outbox Leonard orthodox for the first 4 rounds, wtf?) and his corner to blame. He needed someone like a Teddy Atlas that night threatening to walk out on him (that was pre cell phone or Teddy would've gotten his mom on the phone).

    Lot of them are right after the fight. You have adrenaline flowing plus a bruised ego. I give most a pass in the heat of the moment unless they go way over the top Like Judah did.
    Chavez whined a lot.

    Wasn't he talking about financing an investigation after he lost to Mosley? He was in full drag that time.
