is it true that the hayemaker described adrian Diaconu as "the future of the light heavy division." i got this off of the font of wisdom that is wikipedia,does anyone have another source?
Here's the interview Socrates http://www.britishboxing.net/news_2746-Getting-to-knowDavid-Haye-Part-Two.html It's towards the end of the article. David was asked which young up-and-comer will be following him up the boxing ladder of fame and he responded with "Adrian Diaconu - he's the future of the light heavy division."
Diaconu the future of the light heavy division,eh! Either Haye has no clue what he was talking about or his words have been misinterpreted. Diaconu is a one-dimensional stiff romanian who has been carefully matched up to now.As soon as he faces a capable versatile opponent he will be exposed. Vitaly's and Universum box promotion's head coach Sdunek didnt want him to be part of his stable. According to the news then Universum didnt see any potential in him to capture a mayor title.Too stiff,too predictable,too crude.
Oh, well, no one's perfect and in any case, you'd have to at least give Sdunek credit for knowing his own limitations as a coach. Fortunately for Diaconu, he landed with a better team, at Interbox, who saw his potential and were good enough to help him capture a major title.
He hasn't captured anything. To capture would infer he actually went to great lengths to achieve it. He was gifted it, much like Andre Berto.
