Why are US boxers allergic to being graceful in defeat?

It happened with Andy Ruiz. The guy was an underdog that won a fight on the luckiest night of his career and it was obvious to anyone with a brain that he'll lose the rematch because AJ's by far the better boxer. However, when Ruiz lost - they managed to conjure up a lot of excuses on why he lost: oh, he didn't train, he was fat, he didn't take it seriously, money changed him, etc. when it was all part of his strategy and the guy went in there carrying more weight for power, hence he didn't gas for 12 rds. AJ on the other hand, who the world saw wasn't fit before the fight, didn't make any excuse when he lost.

The same is happening with WIlder and he has made 1 million and 1 excuses and more excuses are still coming. Fury drew the first fight which he should've won and didn't make any excuse about it being the first time he's in a proper fight since his hiatus and actually told the Brits in the audience the night he was cheated to show restraint.

Americans are sore losers and it's shameful at this point. And the idiotic American fan boys stay pushing this dumb narrative. Shut up and suck it up, you bellends!

Some are and some aren't just like English boxers.

Yup, it�s American culture. They are taught from an early age that as an American, you are superior to everyone else and you cannot possibly lose at anything. Then to add modern culture, where no one wants to take a L and be clowned on social media, it�s just a **** storm for a person who doesn�t know how to be humble.

I have no clue where y'all get this told nonsense from. It's juxtaposition.

I didn't live a life of enjoying imported goods, music, movies, television, or technology. You did though.

maybe because it's the end for them. there are boxers who are afraid to get their 1st Loss that why they use to cherry pick an opponents. they can't deal with a loss. greatness comes after a defeat and it's how you stand up and continue.

I have a theory that many boxers(even outside the USA) have a hard time admitting they lose a close fight is due to their pride as a boxer. If they make excuses...at least it motivates them to keep going as silly as it may seem but it does take a true man to admit they were full out defeated
