    Hayefan logic: beating a guy who's 1-3 in his last 4 fights makes you top 25 ATG HW :lol::patsch

    When it comes to HW there is only 1 ranking that matters #1.

    Neither Haye or Adamek will ever assume that spot so who gives a **** where they are ranked.

    what is absurd about it??adamak clearly has a better resume than haye full stop.and def at heavyweight..adamak also has an official win over eddie chambers who is a hell of a lot better than chisora..in fact anyone who had chisora in their top 15 never mind top 20 needs a slap in the face..he lost to fury..officially lost to helenius and got schooled by a one arm 40 year old chisora is a euro level fighter at best you know it and i know it..adamak deserves to be ranked above haye...but haye beats the **** out of him (in my opinion)..why dosnt haye target him for easy pickings its a low risk high rewards fight for him..im not being a dick im just saying how it is..

    Agreed. After Haye's destrction of the top 8 Chisora Haye should at least be ranked 2nd now. Let's not forget Vitali only beat Del Boy by the skin of his teeth on points in his toughest fight since Lewis.

    How was Chisora top 8? The division stinks, but it's not quite THAT dismal.

    I get it. You just don't like Haye. It's fine.


    But use your brain for a second. We're not talking about ranking resumes. We're talking about who is the best fighter right now. And if you rank them on who you believe are the best fighters, anyone would be a fool to put Adamek above Haye. Especially after looking at their last fights.

    You rank on what they have DONE moreso then what one thinks they CAN do. Otherwise a ranking can be as opinion (or hate) driven as the lame ass P4P debates.

    But we get it. You just don't like Adamek. It's fine.

    I meant from division to division. Though I spoke to soon about the HW division :oops:

    example of what I mean.

    Ring's WW
    Manny Pacquiao
    Floyd Mayweather Jr.
    Kell Brook
    Paulie Malignaggi
    Jan Zaveck
    Tim Bradley
    Randall Bailey
    Josesito Lopez
    Victor Ortiz
    Selcuk Aydin

    ESPN WW
    Manny Pacquiao (54-4-2)
    2. Timothy Bradley Jr. (29-0)
    3. Andre Berto (28-1)
    4. Jan Zaveck (32-2)
    5. Josesito Lopez (30-4)
    6. Victor Ortiz (29-4-2)
    7. Selcuk Aydin (23-0)
    8. Paulie Malignaggi (31-4)
    9. Kell Brook (28-0)
    10. Devon Alexander (23-1)

    and I like ESPN's SMW rankings over Rings now

    Adamek in his last three fights: Pummeled around the ring by Vitali and carried for 10 Rounds, going 12 Rounds with Nagy Aguilera, and getting a "hometown decision" against a one-armed Chambers.


    Haye in his last fights: Lost terribly to Wlad, and destroyed a guy who just went toe to toe for 12 with the #2 guy. (Who by the way pummeled Adamek and carried him for 10 Rounds.)

    Haye fans are ******ed. Chisora looked awful. No techinique, no ring IQ. Haye won but it wasn't nothing spectacular. People say Adamek has no power at Hw. But imagine a 10 or 12 rounds fight against Adamek for Chisora. That would be a slow execution. Adamek would destroy Chisora and it wouldn't be a big deal. Chisora's a bum. Deal with it Haye's nuthuggers.

    if boxers were ranked by what their fans say they CAN do, Haye would be undisputed world champion
     
  15. Adamek is not a top 25 heavyweight, his resume sucks

    He has no heart, no power, no skill and no chin. None.
