    Other than De La Hoya, has there been a fighter to admit his opponent should have won

    In the post fight interview?

    DLH hinted in his post fight interview of the Sturm fight, that he might have gotten lucky, basically admitting that Sturm might have gotten robbed.

    My friend who was a Pascal fan, was disgusted by Pascal's post fight interview and said he lost all respect for him because of what he said so boldly.

    I know Toney admitted that Tiberi got robbed against him, but years later, took him a while.

    But how many fighters do this? Actually man up in the post interview and say they lost? It's very rare. In recent times I can only think of DLH.

        I either had the fight a draw or pascal winning. Of course the fighter is going to think he won when he dropped the guy twice

          You know there is no shame in admitting you lost the fight. Especially if the other guy clearly pwned you. Pascal knows he got a gift he might as well have thanked the judges for their generosity.

            Margarito told Daniel Santos he won right after the fight before the scorecards were read.

            It takes a true thug to admit defeat.

                  This is OT, but it's a great gesture by Rampage.
