Has a fighter who won ever admitted a decision was questionable?

    I vaguely remember DLH admitting he was lucky against Sturm right after the scorecards came through. Not 100% sure about that, though.

      Thats a good point.

        The worst example has to be Casamayor celebrating after getting the nod against Santa Cruz, there was no shame in his game after that horrible highway robbery. When Holyfield clearly got the gift draw against Lennox he was just saying "If the judges score it a draw it's a draw" he did ***** about getting the short end against Valuev though.

          Freddie Roach said Bobby Pacquiao lost to Carlos Hernandez right after the fight. But a couple of weeks later he said he saw the tape and Bobby deserved it.

            Hagler says Leonard whispered in his ear right after the fight "You won." Leonard denies it. I saw it on Legendary Nights.

              No way... He said that everything went wrong, but he still thought he won the fight.

              I do remember Taylor being really classy after he got KO'd by Pavlik, saying that he didn't agree with the judges and he thought he was losing the fight when it was stopped.

                  No, DLH says Mosley said that to him, but Mosley acted like he won in the post-fight interview.

                      DLH admitted "I might have gotten lucky" in the Sturm post fight interview.
