Clottey, Haye, or Mosley who whimped out more?

    Well if you take into Account that Mosley was really really old and past his prime and could not pull the trigger, I would rate the performances of PRIME haye and clottey as worse.

    I don't even think Mosley landed a decent punch the entire fight vs. Pacquiao, he literally did nothing but run.

    So now we get hyped losses?

    It pains me to say it, but Haye did try a little, especially if you put him side by side against the other two (Mosley and Clottey).

    I was most disappointed with Mosley because he clearly found Pac's weakness but never capitalized on it.
    Clottey was simply overwhelmed.

    what is amazing is that no one is saying Vlad wimped out. Emanual Steward used to tell Hearns if you are winning a fight don't try to stop a guy since you could be countered, and Hearns still went for it. There is something to be said for giving the fans what they want and taking risk. Vlad didn't take a risk against a guy he outweighed by 30 pounds. He won so I guess that is important, but Haye was at a disadvantage. I think it took more guts for Haye to fight Vlad than for Vlad to fight Haye, and fight like Vlad did.
