Nope. Haye has never proven to be a better fighter than Adamek. Does a better fighter get dropped by C level fighters? Does a better fighter fight 4 lousy fights in nearly 30 months? Does a better fighter endlessly waste time in negotiations instead of taking his once in a lifetime oppurtunity to fight the man at HW even if it means doing it on his terms? Adamek's career resume is quite a bit ahead of Haye's. Haye is a spotty fighter at best. Almost lost to pathetic Valuev, what would make you think he can do anything with Wlad? Adamek has travelled from LHWT and is doing more than Haye in a shorter span of time. I call that a better fighter. Not based on some bs speculation and hype but based on what the fighter has actually accomplished.
He didnt almost lose to Valuev and he broke his hand in round 2. Wlad is ducking Haye Haye is miles better than Adamek. He will prove it this year (even though its obvious) somehow, even if it means Vitali steps in this summer to do his ducking brothers dirty work, then we'll see how good Haye is followed by Adamek losing to the ducker in September.
Based on what? His gift wins over Ruiz(twice), Holyfield, and Donald? Oh yea I forgot, Valuev also beat a overweight/unmotivated Lyakovich, had a lucky win over McCline, oh and his fight with Bergeron. That fight was a classic, I think I might even rewatch that bad boy again! :-(
Not the fight we all wanted but Ill take it, a solid fighter who always comes in shape and to fight this one cant possibly be a dull one And Haye will be there later cause that fight is too big not to happen
There is no 100% certain that Adamek will fight Wladymir. In contract there is a point: If wlad will not be able to fight because of injury then Vitali can fight instead - date stays the same. And Adamek stated that he can fight both of them. Compared to haye who declared that he want to fight Wladymir only.
Great fight. One of my dream fights and the toughest fight for Adamek, tbh. I thought that he will get Haye somehow before facing either Klitschko, which would be more winnable and more exctiting fight tough. But Haye didnt want any part of Adamek, as he knew how hard opponent "Goral" is.
I have been to Wroclaw, was quite a small city and i went to the town centre, however they have lots of investment and new stadium due to Poland and Ukraine holding the european soccer championships in 2012. Very smart move by Vladimir, i think they believe Chagaev will be harder mandatory than people think, i for one think Haye may lose.
No body has a good pulse on Chagaev these days. Who knows, he may surprise. I for one do not think Haye has proven to be the number 3 HW in world as some put him. Sure, he has a belt, but we all saw the way in which he got it.
Exactly. Haye has proven nothing. Adamek is stepping it up by winning regional and world titles in multiple weight classes. Adamek is more worried about fighting than negotiating (apparently) and is willing to fight the best. Haye, isn't going to fight anyone with a chance to beat him until he has an escape....err I mean retirement...plan ready to execute.
Gaye had more than two years to fix the klitschko fight. So I would like to ask british teenagers to stop mentioning their loudmouth metrosexual idol. Adamek vs Klitschko go go!
Adamek is moving on straight to the big one. Why waste time with Haye? Haye will still be there because I doubt he will retire. If this fight happens at this new arena in Poland it would be a hottie fest like you've never seen.
