No, you can answer some of the questions I put forward first before I entertain your drivel. Who's Wlad's defining fight? What's the most exciting fight Wlad has been in during the last 5 years? What has happened to the prestige and popularity of heavyweight boxing during the last 5 years of Klitschko's reign? Haye is disappointing not because he's a better fighter than Klitschko, he's not, but because his whole career he was a very exciting and aggressive fighter who fought all-comers. He had the ability to make the heavyweight division interesting once again, something Klitschko has totally failed to do, but he couldn't get the fight against Klitschko, because Klitschko wanted to fight a novice like Derek Chisora instead. It's embarassing for the sport and makes Wlad look like a *****.
Great! That's what real fighters do. I hope that Gaye is taking notes. Acutally, if he retires today, he will saves us alot. Let the real fighters do their job. Stop blocking the WBA belt. Wladimir v Adamek shoudl be for the WBA. Gaye is stripped in my mind. Just retire. I mean he promised his wife.
This is true, Haye's resume in HW isn't convincing (he was absolutely great in cruiser though). This shearade is a disgrace all and all, I would have loved to see Haye take on Wlad. No disrespecting Adamek in any way, but style makes fights and IMO Haye has (or had, I'm starting to think of him in past tence allready) the best chance of winning Wlad in current HW-division.
Wlad should try substituting Adamek for Chisora, and fight Haye in the second half of the year, once Haye wins his mandatory aginst Chageav...
Defining, exciting, prestige... blah blah blah. You're resorting to subjective and judgmental categories only because you can't handle the facts. They are out there, for everyone's eyes. Yet you choose to twist them to suit your well established agenda. :-(
That's kinda how I see it. No disrespect to Adamek, he's a good fighter I have a lot of respect for him, but he doesn't have the style to beat Wlad. He's not going to outbox him, and he's not going to knock him out, what's he going to do that Wlad can't deal with? Haye is the only fight that matters at Heavyweight, other than that I'm not really interested. The Derek Chisora fight is a total cop out and really tarnishes Wlad's reputation, and the Adamek fight is good but it's not going to set the world on fire is it? Other than that Klitschko might as well retire, it's not like anyone is paying attention to the Heavyweights these days.
hahaha, go on, indulge me, what's my well-established agenda? Maybe I'm part of a secret conspiracy to undermine Vlad? Of course when I'm saying is subjective, it's a ****ing boxing message board not a scientific study.
If this is true, and wlad goes from fighting chisora straight to fighting adamek, he has ducked haye. Simple as. It will be a grand total of 4 breakdown's of the fight with the scorecard now reading 3-1. I'm hoping wlad has the balls to fight haye july 2nd but it doesn't look likely. Why will he travel to poland and not to england tho? Anyways to this fight, I see wlad smoking adamek a little bit easier than he'd smoke haye. Adamek seems very vulnerable at heavy and doesn't have haye's athleticism. No way can he stand up to, or avoid the wlad jab. Just not gonna happen. The 3 toughest fights for wlad, imo would be vitali, solis and areola. After that it's haye. But haye is the most meaningful and lucrative. If all this is true it spells bad news for the haye fight which is bad news for us boxing fans.
Event-wise Haye-Wlad would have been Mega-Fight, only May-Pac would be bigger. I'm so ****ing pissed about this, somebody (broadcast-companies etc) should just order these primadonnas to take the fight or leave the sport. This ongoing and ever-growing speculation**** (may-Pac, Haye-Wlad) is so frustrating!
Well I wouldn't even say it depends on who you ask, Haye v Wlad is the bout the majority wants...it's like the Mayweather and Pacquiao bout, it will draw plenty of casual fans in world wide. Haye has looked fairly impressive up at Heavyweight, his speed, explosiveness, etc. From what I've seen of Adamek at Heavy, he hasn't impressed me as much...although he has impressed me in bursts. Adamek probably has the slight edge in competition, but I wouldn't say he hasn't been struggling.
How some say Haye is more physically gifted than Adamek is beyond me. He fought his last fight at 211. I wouldn't be surprised if Adamek is physically stronger than Haye, because he's certainly seems more durable.
A 38 year old Ruiz who didn't have any significant win in four years was better than a prime Chris Byrd who was holding the IBF belt when he got wasted by Wlad? If you enjoyed seeing Haye beat up an over-the-hill version of Ruiz and see Ruiz on the floor a couple times, how can you not have liked Wlad beat up Byrd and knock him down a couple times? :deal
