Willingness to WIN not willingness to just lose decision after talking **** for years, all i want in a fighter to try to ****ing win not being satisfied with hearing the final bell.
Did you ever think that Haye's strategy (looking for counters) was his best chance of winning There's no way getting in a tear up would work, Haye isn't a big guy with an iron chin, he's a small guy with poor punch resistance. He tried to counter, he tried to exploit openings, there just were not many openings as Wlad boxed incredibly tight and used his size advantage to full effect.
Wach TRIED to win, doesn't matter if he's limited as ****, he TRIED Haye is much more talented than Wach, and he DIDN'T do anything except run around the ring throwning pot-shots,
Wach tried to win more. If Haye had fought Wlad like he fought Chisora, he'd either get knocked out or win by knockout. Sadly, he wasn't prepared to do that and he fought a fight which could only end in him losing a one sided decision. He needed to be far more aggressive and fight in a way which gave him a chance but he didn't. However, if the rumours about Wach removing padding are true, that's a far more cowardly act than simply not fighting.
He suited his strategy to his ability. He would have been a complete moron to have fought like Wach. Haye had an advantage in quickness of feet,and speed of punch. His best tactic to win was to stay out of the way of Walds big punches and find an opening. If he had been as stupid to fight like Wach,the fight would have lasted 2 rounds.
Wach was braver. He had much less skills than Haye to use but still tried to fight. He also landed one big shot on Wlad, more than anybody has done for years, Haye included.
He didnt have to swing for the fences and fight like Wach. But he could have taken SOME risk at SOME point. Wach tried with all the tools he had to win, Haye tried with all the tools he had to not get knocked out and was completely content with that. So Wach has more heart.
