    i agree vitali's lost a bit too. vitali easily has the power and savvy to trouble haye, but the man isn't getting any younger or quicker

    I give Adamek a much better chance against Vitali than Wladimir.

    That said, I can't see Adamek beating Vitali. It would take a perfect storm scenario.

    Yes, I do.

    Adamek would get more leverage against Haye and I think he'd be able to land his money punch (the right hand) with some frequency.

    Haye could be a nightmare for Adamek for the first 2 or 3 rounds, though.

    Adamek isn't a great starter against faster opponents, but he hasn't faced anyone like that since moving to heavyweight. So Haye could stop Adamek early.

    At the end of the day, if Adamek can take Haye's best shots he can win a decision if he can't stop Haye.

    Haye has far too much speed for Adamek.

    This willl be a good fight.........but I am now even more conviced that Haye takes Adamek out.

    Haye has genuine *hell raising power*, Adamek's power is not very impressive..............Adamek is a good boxer and a very tough guy, but Haye is too much for him.

    Haye possesses hell in both hands, and is also fast for a heavyweight.

    All these posters saying Haye will KO Adamek easily....please note BOTH guys are blown up Cruisers. They are similar in size, weight. Haye might very well KO Adamek, but at this point don't mistake him for a big HW, because he isn't.

    I agree with this.

    I like Adamek as a fighter, he's a tough guy with a good overall skill level. Though I don't see him beating a top level guy with power, unless his oppenents pushing 275 pounds plus come fight night "Chris Arreola". Adamek should stick to fighting guys 10 years past their best at heavyweight, like Grant and Golota. A fighter like Haye would not only rock him, but would probably lay him out cold.

    Haye is a bigger guy, more power, faster, and his chin, well don't know about that one. I don't think Adamek's chin is quite iron.

    I think Adamek - Haye wouldn't be as one-sided as some say here. Haye is a very slow work rate and needs lots of pauses inbetween thanks to his below average stamina. Adamek has a better, more constant workrate and would try to hunt Haye down whenever he needs a rest.

    Haye can stop any heavyweight early on, but if he survives the early onslaught after the middle rounds I think Adamek would have a couple of moments trying to corner Haye and trade in close quarters.

    Adamek's performance looked just poor enough to give Haye the impression that Adamek is beatable. Lets hope Haye-Adamek gets made.

    There should be no reason why this fight isn't made. Haye won't be intimidated after seeing the fight and Adamek gets a World Title fight and he wouldn't turn it down in the first place. It might take a couple more months for a fight then say Audley/Haye would but it'd be definitely worth the wait and is the only viable credible option left.

    Yeah, just ask Valuev and Ruiz. Valuev did that silly dance in the 12th and Ruiz was done in the first 30 seconds. And Barrett was down at least 6 times if I remember right. Goral hasnt exactly been KOing these guys who are very KOable like Grant etc. Plus Adamek usually leaves himself wide open after punching and seems to be very timable with his swings.
