Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s special move has always been the unsportsman like sucker punch, remember the late Arturo Gatti fight 1st round Floyd dropped Gatti while they were talking to the ref,Gatti got up like the warrior he was and fought on till the corner stopped it tho.. RIP Arturo Gatti...Shane Mosley also got popped while talking to the ref and touching gloves..so why are we so surprised that he's a poor sport..even tho he is one of the most skilled boxers today money mayweather still can't buy class...
I can do better than "define" sportsmanship. "A picture is better than a thousand words", as the old saying goes. So just look at the ending of the Mayweather-Ortiz fight, and that will answer your request by visualising the opposite of that display.
The poor sport was Ortiz. He went beyond the rules and launched his head at Mayweather,he has a history also, being disqualified before. Floyd showed real class by tapping his glove and hugging him to first time. For all we know Ortiz may have been trying to sucker Floyd but he was beaten at his own game. Stop acting like Ortiz is the victim when he's one of the dirtiest boxers in the game

Or, the contrary, just look at the ending of that fight and you'll have a visual definition of unsportsmanlike.
Can you define unsportsmanlike?

Shocking refereeing, he calls stop punching, Gatti does, Floyd continues. Does the ref penalise Floyd for not obeying his instructions, no he gives Gatti a count.

He did it also in the Angel Manfredy bout. Floyd might have been doing that since the amateur days.

Agree that was very poor sportsmanship if I remember correctly. You can't blame Mayweather for being professional about it but I agree, call him classless all you want.
