He's carrying a huge great immensly evil Ring. It's constantly trying to overpower him and take him, like it did Boromir. It wants to be found by Sauron, it's always trying to get back to him. Every step closer to Mordor he goes it's heavier and a harder burden for him. The Ring is immensly powerful, it's corrupting him and eating him up from the inside. Considering what he must do (and that he's being searched for by terrifying winged Nazgul) I think he barely whines at all. And I certainly wouldn't call him wimpy.
