Do you respect fighters who are not prepared to die in the ring?

Aforce do us all a favour and **** off.

Haye acknowledged the power of Wlad and didn't want to knocked out, which would have been more humiliating for him.

 

#What if they've been in an amateur ring?

 

If David Haye was a CW his behaviour inside of the ring would of been different if Wladimir Kiltscko was a 200pound fighter, but thats not the case Wladimir Kiltschko is 6"6 240+ pounds. David Haye in my opinion showed me how brave he was on July 2nd. Allot of people, including myself thought that as soon as he was "Hit" by Wladimir Kilstchko.....the fight would be over.

"David Haye took some big shots of Wladimir Kilschko", and in my opinion he never gave up inside of their, i never once seen that look on his face or through his body language that "Shane Mosley" had against Manny Pac. And David Haye is a old school heavyweight fighter in a era of super-heavyweights, you must take all of these factors into account. Its pure stupid to just wade in there, and start taking bombs like Ricky Hatton and Carl Froch to a certain extent, "Of late he has underlined this sometimes not so smart attitude". If Carl Froch fought at Crusierweight, he too would act differently and his style would come across more tamed inside of the ring.

"David Haye in my opinion gave a good account of himself, and he was trying until the end. He had Wladimir Kiltschko slightly hurt in the last round, he would occasional throw Hayemakers, reaching down deep inside of his ego, i never once see him give up........never"

 

Well I'm guessing this thread is only about pro fighters and I used to do Amateur Boxing and I don't think I have a right to comment about respecting pro fighters.

 

To be fair to Haye, at least he did actually get in the ring with Wlad, a fighter in his prime at the top of his game. We are not that often given the privileged to view, prime vs prime, we got that here. Haye was prepared to go further than several 'World Champions' do nowadays and have done over recent years, sadly.

The bottom line is that he just wasn't good enough to win.

 

All fighters deserve respect. Its a very serious game where health and life are on the line. Look at all the brain damaged ex fighters. Would you go in to a profession where there is a strong possibility you will have reduced mental capabillities by your 40 s?

All fighters are brave. Some just have different drives, threshholds, motivations which make them act differently

To say you only respect fighters who are willing to die is stupid, and reduces the sport to dogfighting

 

Do you think an amatuer fighter feels different during a fight to a pro fighter?
