Are Brits ashamed of Haye?

I'm actually impressed with him for lasting 12 rounds as I though Wlad would KO him pretty easily.

I don't think Haye deserves that much credit just for getting in the ring. It's not like he was doing it to raise money for orphans or something. He did it for personal gain.
I'd happily fight Wlad for a lot less than Haye received from all the fans he promised a great show to. Don't get me wrong, I'd probably run around the ring looking to avoid punishment as well, but I wouldn't expect any credit for doing so, and I wouldn't lie to people beforehand so that they'd waste their hard-earned money on my Usain Bolt impression when what I'd promised them was Hagler-Hearns.

I expected him to get knocked out, but I at least hoped he would go out and try to bomb Wlad out... in the mid-rounds, I was at least hoping he might try something late knowing he was behind, but he just didn't really seem to bother. Ashamed? No, let down? Yes, at least guys like Ricky Hatton tried the best they could when they stepped up
Oh well, I had money on Wlad anyway, so I won my bet!

Ashamed? no, dissapointed? yes, it wasn't as if it was a spanking was it? each round was pretty close but Wlad was the better man on the night, the tally of points on paper show a whitewash but to any unbiased boxing fan it was close all the way through,the main question should be how ashamed are the klit fans that their man couldn't knock out a jumped up cruiser weight? i think there is more shame there.

Not at all. The gamesmanship and excuses weren't good to see but Haye gave Wlad his toughest fight since Sam Peter put him on his backside. He stood in front of the hardest puncher around, hands down, and challenged him to hit him. He took some monstrous shots and went back for more. While his attack and conduct were disappointing he showed more toughness than anyone believed he had.

Im disappointed he hyped the fight and what he was gona do so much and he didnt even give it a try
He knew he wasnt going to win on points, everyone knew, he even said it before the fight
Yet he didnt go for it.....besides the 12th round he didnt even try hurt klitschko...
He was to scared to get knocked out himself....and wouldnt fight
