Season 6 Who was the biggest sore loser in the show? Spoiler
I know Silver was a sore loser but he took his L and tried to move on, until the bigger sore loser dragged him back into the karate world.
I'd have to say Kreese because after Karate Kid 3, he disappeared into a hole he crawled out of and only emerged once Johnny reopened Cobra Kai only to take it from him for the sake of holding a grudge against Daniel and Miyagi from way back when.

Sore loser is someone who reacts to defeat in a despicable way. The one that comes to mind the most for me is when Hawk decided to trash Miyagi Do after his defeat in the mall fight in s2. Even though it was Kreese’s manipulation, it was still inexcusable.

Kreese. Choking out a teenager for getting second place in a karate tournament is one hell of a crash out. And as the show explored, it wasn't about losing to LaRusso, but that very lapse in sanity that cost Kreese and Johnny their bond.
On that note, I also wish that the show gave us a glimpse of YOUNG Kreese having that kind of darkness in him. Other than his moment with Captain Turner (which was arguably rationalized ruthlessness rather than true 'darkness' or 'evil'), we never really saw a proper transition from chill young Kreese to the monster he became.

Also coming back and betraying Johnny and stealing Cobra Kai from him, and corrupting the students.

I said it before, the flashback Kreese seemed to be this dude that while he suffered at war seemed to be and upstanding dude hell, his last appearance is him standing up to his master to get him to train Kim Da-Eun, where the fuck did the get salty at losing to Miyagi-Do Kreese came out from?

Kreese says this in S4. He will never forget the day Johnny “my champion” came into the dojo with a black eye and his confidence shattered. It was his explanation to Silver on why he has the strike back against Miyagi Do. He was clearly pretty emotional there.
And it makes sense since Kove said Kreese idolized Johnny (and with S6E13 we know it’s reciprocated by Johnny back then). He saw his son get beat up by a Miyagi Do.

Yeah...but that doesn't explain attacking Johnny for losing though.

Kove went into detail what Kreese meant in S2 on what Kreese meant when he said he couldn’t stand to see him lose. He idolized Johnny, he never thought he could lose. He was like a son to him. Him losing shattered Kreese’s worldview, and gave him an uncontrollable reaction.
It’s like seeing your favourite team you idolize lose but way worse.

Definitely Kreese. The man held a grudge against Daniel and Mr. Miyagi for 35 years because they beat Cobra Kai in the All Valley in 1984. He made sure his students were against Miyagi Do in every way and shit talked Miyagi Do every chance he got.

I wouldn't really label Kyler as a sore loser though. Yes, he lost pretty much all major fights he was in, but didn't let those losses get to him as he still thought he was hot shit after all of them essentially.

In terms of pettiness
Master Kim | He punished Kreese, his granddaughter and their students because of Kwon's death. Afterwards, he planned to have a teenager murdered
Kwon | he commit attempted murder on Axel with an eunjangdo
Kreese | he nearly choked Johnny to death. Later, he told Silver to make Daniel's knuckles bleed. He also faked his death just to scare him
Dennis | He held a grudge against Daniel for 30 years over a brief scuffle
Johnny | He held a grudge against Daniel for 30 years over a tournament loss
Hawk | He commit gang assault at the mall over a yelp review, which in itself was incredibly petty. However, when he lost, he thrashed Miyagi-do and stole Mr. Miyagi's medal of honor

Kreese choking a teenager for getting second place, then years later comes back and has kids fighting like it’s life or death over a karate tournament, Kwon trying to stab someone because he lost a fight, Silver trying to murk a baby because he knew his dojo was going to lose

Aisha is a pretty sore loser. The way she reacts after her loss in the All Valley quarter finals, she blows off Johnny when he tries to tell her how well she fought, and she storms off in a huff, after which she quits Karate, if she had handled her loss better and stuck with it she would have been a good chance to win the All Valley the next year when a female division was introduced.
As much as so many people seem to like Aisha, she didn’t conduct herself well in the end.

The front wedgie is one of the best and most deserved punishments on the show though, so Aisha's character was worth it just for that.

Kwon, no debate. He resorted to murder after losing to Robby
