    Acts of good sportsmanship?

    When Mancini thumbed Arguello and he stalled, Mancini didn't capitalize but instead waited and touched gloves.

    Rodrigo Valdez fell of balance and ended up side on/backwards to Monzon who waited until he re-established his feet until resuming boxing.

    Johnny Tapia and Paulie Ayala taking turns of carrying each other around the ring after their terrific fight.

    James Toney not attacking Nunn when he was kicking something out of the ring.

    Jack Dempsey going over to Carpentier after the KO to make sure he hadn't killed him and then helping him to his feet.

    Any examples you guys can think of?

    lewis allowing tyson to hold his baby after they fought

    considering that tyson said he wanted to eat lewis' children before the fight, and tyson's taste for human flesh, it was quite a gesture.

      That was crazy. Mike acted like a gentleman though.

        I don't think that was Lennox Lewis' baby.

        I don't believe he had any Children at that time.

            i searched some for an article or something to corroborate but couldnt find much outside of old threads talking about it on bscene

            you could very well be right

            i thought i remembered hearing it on legendary nights or some place similar as well. it all blends together after about five years on this end

                I heard it was his child too! On further research though he had his first kid in 2004!

                  Wasn't it a headbut Mancini got him with ?, over the right eye.
                  Another good show of sportsmanship was Arguello wishing Mancini's dad the best who was seriously sick and at ringside.

                    It might have been, a while since I've viewed it. I'll double check just now.
