    I know no such thing. A guy who gets decked by Barret, can barely win against Valuev fights in spurts (both in and out of the ring), can be had by an intelligent, experienced and super active fighter like Adamek. You Brits assume too much as some kind of defence mechanism to face the fact that Haye ran away from this match up when he had the chance. Can anyone explain to me why Adamek has 20 more career fights than Haye thesame number of losses, yet has only been a pro 3 years longer? Its called putting yourself to the test and willing to risk lossing, something Haye can rarely bring himself to do.

    Of course he hasn't, one look at BoxRec and he thinks he knows it all.

    Yeah I have, I've seen three fights of his. He had some heart, but one thing that stood out is a very weak chin.

    In one of the fights I saw him decked like 4 or 5 times. Most of his losses are stoppages and some to some pretty no name fighters. Again, I don't know what kind of holy cow you brits built out of this man after he mopped the floor with Haye, but to everyone else, he was not special.

    No one's calling him a legend or ATG.:nono
    But he certainly ain't "average"

    You're such a dumb **** it's frustrating.

    Whoever called Thompson special?

    You say you've watched him and then say he's got a very weak chin. Are you still checking BoxRec?

    :lol:

    I forgot...

    If you're a boxing fan, a boxer is either a bum or special - no in between.

    Yea, I think he's letting his hate blind his judgement.

    Plus the fact he doesn't know what he's talking about so refers to the boxing fan's bible of BoxRec.
