Who was more cowardly? What the ****? Mosley, in his 40's, challenged Manny ****ing Pacquiao! The best in the world and a lock for a top 30 ATG P4P list! And Haye challenged Wladimir Klitschko, a 6'6 Ukrainian giant, who's also the best heavyweight on the planet! Just because they didn't pull off an Arturo Gatti type fight, doesn't make them "cowards." They both put on bad performances and didn't try as hard as they should or could have, but in one, single night they've done something braver than anybody on this forum will ever do.
Who do you guys rank higher from amongst these two british fighters David Haye or Prince Naseem and is David Haye HOF worthy?
Coward is a harsh word for but Haye didn't ask Booth to stop the fight. And Mosley's shitty attitude after the beating was pretty ugly.
There is absolutely no comparison. Taking away the circumstances (Mosley being old and shot) Haye fought nothing like a coward, he had his gameplan and tried to knock klitchko out, it didnt work, cuz he's just not that good. Mosley on the other hand... well that was just a disgraceful performance
He still had to enter the ring and still had to fight Manny Pacquiao. For the paycheck or not, he still had to train and fight. Which was very brave, considering the circumstances. For you to say "nothing brave about it" is very ignorant. Would you train to fight Manny Pacquiao? Would you enter the ring in front of thousands of people to fight an ATG and the P4P best on the planet? While way past prime and 40? You wouldn't. He had balls enough to enter the ring with the P4P best on the planet. Enough of this coward crap. He showed balls just by getting in the ****ing ring, something a lot of people in the world couldn't do.
For that kind of money? I would. Man, he asked his corner to stop the fight when there wasnt even serious damage inflicted on him. Shane was just an old man getting some money from his old fame. Cant blame him, but also cant appreciate his behaviour in the ring. Dont act like going out to the ring for a professional boxer is something which requires balls the size of a churchbells. You keep forgetting the main aspect of this situation, he got PAID to get into that ring. He didnt do that from his bravery, he did it for the money, only for the money.
For that kind of money you would? WTF does that mean? "Hey man, Lewis is making a comeback." "Yeah who's he fighting?" "Some guy named Wiesiek" "Never heard of him. What's his record?" "Don't know. I never heard of him either" "HBO? Showtime?" "No, it's pay-per-view" "That's bull****! I ain't paying to watch another Tyson-McNeely" No one is gonna offer you "that kind of money", pal. Regardless of his performance, Mosley earned his payday based on the record and the legacy he already had. Shane has already proved his worth as a fighter ten times over. He said he was blacked out for at least three rounds. You say he had no serious damage inflicted. Now, who's word should I take - his or yours?
