This is why everyone thinks Newton is a pouty little bitch.

Vid is the entire fight, but just watch round 15 and the post fight interview with Shavers. This dude went 15 fucking rounds with Muhammad Ali and in many people's opinions, should have won by decision. He lost the decision but still acts classy after the fight in the post fight interview.

WTB athletes like this in 2016.

Agree to disagree.

I like how he responded to the criticism.

"Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser".

I'd rather have someone who hates to lose and takes it hard than someone who accepts it.

No way. I call BS. When we lose, does LoD ever do what Newton did in "glowbow" ? No, we say good fight and we move on. Doesn't mean we're not all pissed off we lost. Just means we don't show our little bitch side to the general public.

LoD isn't required by anyone to speak anywhere, whereas Cam is contractually obligated to speak by the NFL.

He told Peyton Manning "good game" on the 50 yard line.

Not a good analogy.

Which, by the way, Peyton Manning didn't even come out to shake Drew Brees hand when he lost.

You're counterargument is to compare Newton to Manning, which I was not doing. I was saying the Newton could stand to show a little more class, and I am right about that. You're blinded because it's your team.

And I think my analogy is just fine. Who cares whether he is contractually obligated or not? Completely irrelevant point. We (LoD) do talk in global after fights, do we not? And when we do, we don't engage in shit talk or immaturity, right? And we stick to that because win or lose, we keep it classy, right? We refuse to degrade ourselves to the level of being immature shit talkers, whether that be sore winners or sore losers, right? You yourself have held yourself to this standard in games I've played with you, so I know that you know what I am talking about.



It's not like the guy is a piece of shit or anything. He just has remarkable talent and he's young so he's got a promising career in front of him. It would just be nice for an athlete like that to show some humility and be an example for other athletes, that's all I'm saying.

Perfect exmaple, George St. Pierre. Dude is hands down one of the best UFC fighters of all time. Check this clip. His opponent drops to his knees after losing by decision and the first thing the guy does is bend down to help him up and show him respect as a worthy adversary. And then after the fight, gives props to his opponent for a good fight. I just wish more top tier athletes behaved this way.

I compared Newton to Manning because Manning is widely considered "Classy".

Not really. His humor is just really high-brow.

Wacka wacka!
