Has a fighter ever lost without making excuses?

Genaro "Chicanito" Hernandez in his fight against PBF Hernandez was very gracious in defeat and made no excuses in his loss.

 

Kostya Tszyu gave credit, respect, and no excuses after losing to Hatton.

 

Tommy Hearns- though ruined by Steward making the excuses instead

 

I agree with you for the most part.. Although Oscar was making a fuss about robbery after the second Mosley fight. I had Mosley slightly winning but its easy to understand why he thought he won, though saying something was fishy was out of line i think. He just got the worse end of a close fight that time around.

 

Zab Judah, when he fought Kostya Tszyu.

 

Foreman and Tarver both claimed they where drugged. Oscar complains after every loss(except when Nard fed him some chopped liver with Hopkins sauce).

 

I just read an article right before the pbf/odh fight where he said he was weight drained for that fight.

 

I must assume this is a joke

 

jesus chavez took a beating against floyd and said he was now floyds number 1 fan

 

I know, I was just kidding, that's why I brought up some of the worst excusemakers in the sport.

 

I liked Oscar's "bad oysters" excuse.

Still, my favorite is Big George's "I was about to knock Ali out but I got distracted by seeing my friend in the audience betray me by rooting for Ali and it ruined my concentration" excuse.

 

Tyson after Lewis....he praised Lewis!

 

Tommy Hearns could have been absolutely livid after Davey Pearl stopped the first fight with Leonard but he was very gracious. Even after the first Barkley fight he said that, "Every dog has it's day".

 

Joe Louis! One of the classiest guys to ever step into a ring.
