HBO interested in Haye vs Adamek

Everything he posts on here he plucks out of his arse.

 

No way will Haye fight anywhere outside of Vegas should he go to America. I fancy him to take Adamek aswell if it happened!!!

 

Does it make a great deal of difference? :think

I'm not entirely sure it does. The only difference is I believe Haye is probably a little healthier, bigger, stronger and more natural. Which can only be good.

 

So why would he pose a punching danger to Haye at cruiserweight but not heavyweight if what you're saying is true that he didn't struggle to make cruiser? I seriously doubt Adamek's become a lighter puncher by moving up in weight so you're implying Haye takes a better punch are you not?

I agree I don't think too much of Adamek has a heavyweight but matching him up with Haye, I don't think it matters too much its taking place at this weight. It's still Tomasz Adamek and David Haye.

 

The extra weight certainly seems to agree more with Haye than it does with Adamek. Its def. to Hayes advantage that the fight happens (if it happens) at HW rather than Cruiser.

 

That's quite a lot, when you put all those factors together. I don't think it makes a huge difference, but it's definitely a closer fight at cruiser. Haye's athleticism, carrying the speed and weight better makes him the favourite at heavyweight.

Adamek was a bit of a 'beast' at cruiserweight, that fight with Cunningham showed a lot to me. It was a classic and Adamek displayed a few things that would've made a Haye fight very interesting, certainly more interesting then it would be now, although i still wouldn't mind seeing it. I just think at heavyweight Adamek doesn't have as much options, it's a less even playing field and Haye would be able to get off much quicker.

 

I think Adamek is pretty much the same fighter at heavyweight as he was at cruiser. The main problem he has is he really can't punch at this weight. He's still relatively very quick for the division, but lets be clear, he was never as fast as David Haye so at any weight there is always going to be a gap between them in that respect.

But really, the punching power doesn't come into play that much against David Haye at heavyweight. David hasn't really shown he can take huge punches at heavyweight yet, I don't recall any great shots he's been hit with which I suppose is a credit to what he's done so far. So its not really like we can say Adamek can't punch at heavyweight and David Haye having moved to heavyweight can take the punches of a heavyweight.

 

I think you're right.

 

I know it's a poor parallel, but this would be kind of like Marquez/Pacquiao fighting at a lower weight, then fighting at say 147. Marquez maxs out at that weight, while Pacquaio has to work to make it, which makes it more even, now i know the styles and a whole host of other things come in to it. But physical factors play a bigger part at a higher weight, especially above 200lbs.

 

Adamek's defence would likely cost him this fight anyway. He does a lot right offensively but he's prone to standing there in a fencing type stance with his hands not protecting his chin, Haye would time him over his jab, I think he'd struggle to deal with the handspeed and would not react quickly enough with that questionable guard to protect himself which was evident against Cunningham. Mormeck was particularly smart in the way he'd have his hands covering his entire head at times and he'd walk Haye down and down and not punch until he was in range which worked quite well. It actually took that peach of a bodyshot for Haye to get a clean target and I think Tomasz would offer far far too much target because he'd have ideas far above that.

 

Adamek is just a average fighter.

David Haye would spark him out..!!!
