    Humble is when you act the same in defeat as you do in victory

    Not neccessarily bro. Take a look at Fedor's entire career up til his first defeat. Yes he was huble in defeat, but he spent his entire career being genuinely humble when he never lost a single fight

    Judging by the Ali shuffle, no.

    Pac is quite simply the greatest thing to ever happen to the universe. Even greater than the creation of the universe in the first place, because without Pac, there would be no reason for anything to have ever existed.

    Did you watch the post Morales I interview?

    That was in Filipino/Tagalog, how would you understand the whole thing?

    I'm guessing you don't really understand Tagalog.


    He gave Morales proper credit. He said "You cant win them all".

    "You don't win all the time. Someone wins, someone loses. I want to apologise to the whole country for coming up short."

    And to answer the thread question, as far as boxers are concerned, he is up there in that category.

    He's not a saint, and he's done some :patsch worthy stuff in the past, but most human beings do too.

    He's a decent guy, for someone with that much wealth and fame.
    Not Gandhi/Mother Teresa.

    Humble is when you lose and don't make excuses like you wore the wrong socks.

    Not really.

    Pac-JMM I.

    It was a draw.

    And he said he couldnt pivot and dig in his back foot so well, when he was punching for power, in the later rounds, because his heel was hurting and got blisters.

    He did not say "I lost because of the socks."

    There's a difference between humble and polite. Pac's polite.

    Lets not canonise him for sainthood just yet , he's a politician - its his image and PR to be a humble , chivalric kind of guy - is he like that away from boxing , probably not - he's only human.

    His fans made a big deal about him apologising to marg and his fiance' - well so what , Tyson used to help opponents to thier feet and many times he would attend thier corner to make sure they were ok - would you call iron mike 'humble'

    I like Pac - he doesnt indulge in the phony thuglife trash talking that a lot of fighters do - he's a very decent human being - is he a saint ? No way !
