    I think the fact Wach was prepared to get knockedout while trying trumps the higher skill from Haye.

    Haye even in the earlier rounds almost resigned to the fact he was not going to win, even Booth said he stopped listening to him as well.

    Wach in all his painfully limited attributes even while getting the living crap beat out of him kept trying to land that punch.
    Haye while taking WAY less punishment was happy to get decisioned as long as he would not get hit too hard.

    That to me makes it pretty obvious Wach had a lot more heart.

    Wlad was able to do to Wach (use him as a punchbag) what he doesn't have the ability to do to Haye

    Give me a talented, intelligent boxer over a glorified toughman punchbag any day

    with the talent that david haye has and his defensive abilities, he should have been able to make it a much more competitive fight, but he barely threw a punch each round and went to the canvas whenever they clinched. I thought Wach showed more heart in his fight despite being outskilled and out smarted

    People confusing heart with 'lack of evasive defensive skills'?

    I regret I didn't make this a public poll

    the nutthuggers actually think Haye showed more heart than Wach :rofl

    he may not have the slickness and athleticism of Haye, but he actually came to fight, not run

    So you would have had Haye. Who is 6'3 and 210 stand in front of Wlad and trade with him??

    Somehow, I dont think you'll ever make it as a boxing coach

    Noone asked him to trade, but after running his mouth for years on end to put in a complete non effort shows lack of heart.
    After 3 rounds he knew he was not going to win a decision, that left another 8 where at any point he could have taken some risk.
    He has the power, he has the speed and he has the ability to land a shot.

    Instead of trying to win the fight he was more than content to not get knocked out.

    Wach is painfully limited but he never stopped trying from start to end, thats heart.

    Haye had to run 36 minutes on a broken toe.
    Voted Haye.
    His chin is also better than Wach, he was never hurt like Wach.

    nobody asked him to trade, but after all the **** he talked about Wlad, he did next to nothing to back it up, blaming a pinky toe on his performance

    Wach, limited as he is, said he'd go after Wlad up until the end, even after eating countless right hands he never stopped trying

    it's just not Wach's fault he's a limited boxer, talent-wise Haye is far better, but heart-wise it's a different story

    You're equating heart with willingness to be repeatedly punched in the face. This thread is moot.

    Haye showed no heart so obviously Wach, sad thing is Wach dont have 1% of Hayes talent but at least he tried to win, Haye should be ashamed...
