    Both embarrassing shut out defeats where both challengers were brushed aside with ease and man handled like rag dolls but which was worse?

    Interesting comparison. I would have to say Haye because IMO he didn't show up to win just to survive for 12 rounds. While Canelo was dominated he wanted to win and never stopped trying.

    haye went to his knees more than cheap hooker and got deducted a point for it eventually. canelo was equally helpless in there but at least wanted to mix it up.

    Vlad aint no Mayweather.

    Canelo also 23 years old.

    Haye talked too much for my liking . I like Canelo, very humble.

    Haye was worse. He talked a lot of **** in the lead up to the fight, and didn't do **** all. Then him complaining about his toe was icing on the cake.

    first of all you cant compare those two fights and second: I thought canelo and haye gave a good effort in their bouts but simply had the wrong gameplan

    Haye. Canelo was willing to engage he just couldn't do anything. Haye fought to just make it 12 rounds for the British Moral victory. It was a joke. He will do the same against Fury.
     
  11. Canelo was far worse. Haye was in wads league, Canelo wasn't even in floyds league.

    I would say Haye, but also, he was in with a guy who could seriously hurt him if he wasn't careful, Canelo on the other hand, wasn't. I didn't think much of Canelo going in and he certainly did nothing to impress me in this fight. I know Floyd is tough to hit, but why not go nuts and let it all hang out. He is not going to seriously hurt you so give it a shot. It seems he only offers the side of his head in his shoulder roll, so try landing some hard temple shots or something.

    Canelo tried, he was just outboxed.

    Neither Haye nor Wlad ever attempted to have anything close to a fight.

    Please explain how Haye was in Wlad's league? He was scared shitless to even try anything.
