Adamek fans - "Haye ducked Adamek at cruiser" - Please explain

Right, before I start this is NOT a discussion about Haye's heavyweight career - this is done to death and not the purpose of this thread.

Now - I've seen plenty of Adamek fans saying that Haye didn't unify the Cruiserweight title (he had 3/4 belts) and that he ducked Adamek at cruiser.

I do not understand when he supposedly ducked Adamek at cruiserweight, and I'd like to know when you people feel this is.

My understanding of events is this:

- Haye won the WBC and WBA cruiser titles in November 2007 by beating Mormeck.

- Shortly after Haye announced his intention to move to Heavy as he was having trouble making the cruiser limit. However, Frank Warren went all out to set up a domestic unification fight between Haye and Enzo Maccarinelli - Haye agreed to have one last fight at cruiserweight.

- Haye added the WBO title to his collection by beating Maccarinelli in March 2008. Haye immediately stated that he was moving up to heavyweight.

- Haye fought Monte Barret at heavyweight in November 2008.

- One month later, Adamek won the IBF Cruiserweight title from Steve Cunningham in December 2008.


Now, given that timeline, at what point is this duck supposed to have taken place, seeing as Haye had already won three of the cruiserweight titles AND announced his move to heavyweight before Adamek even won his cruiserweight title ELIMINATOR? He's already fought Barret at Heavyweight before Adamek won a title there.

This is what confuses me. I'd appreciate your input.

 

That's what I'm trying to figure out - according to boxrec Haye had won 3 cruiserweight belts and announced his move to heavyweight before Adamek had even won a title ELIMINATOR at cruiser.

 

Erm - read the thread title and my first post again. I clearly asked about how he apparently ducked Adamek.

And why are you so angry?

So you are now the voice of ALL Adamek fans are you?

I was in a thread where several Adamek fans claimed that Haye ducked him at cruiser, hence why I started this thread.

 

Regarding Cunningham, I don't remember any effort whatsover from USS to get a Haye fight. I'd be interested in reading any articles you have that say a fight was on the table but Haye ducked it. Do you have any?

 

I don't get that.

Cunningham had one belt (right? :huh) and Maccarinelli had one belt. Enzo was a big name between over here and a fight between the two would have been a massive all British event and a career high pay day (which it turned out to be). Cunningham was a nobody compared too Enzo and brought nothing apart from his belt. Haye chose to delay his move to heavy and take the option that made the most sense - Enzo. This is what boxers do every day.



If Haye would have fought USS then everyone would be saying that he ducked Maccarinelli.
