Since both were Crusierweight champs and moved up to Heavyweight, who do you guys think wins right now if they ever fought?
:deal Adamek's beard should be the difference here though. I will wait after Arreola to make a final judgment. Haven't seen enough from Haye at HW either though. Guy better fight someone who matters after Ruiz.
I'd go for Haye. He has better power in both hands and even though Adamek's chin is better, Hayes explosiveness would get ensure a Round 2 or 3 stoppage - a bit like the Maccarinelli fight.
I think Adamek is a better boxer. Haye has more speed and power. If it went to the cards I'd call it for Adamek. Otherwise, Haye.
ive got haye by mid stoppage, speedy boxers have always given adamek hell and one beat him. but a fast boxer with power?? damn, adameks chances look somewhat slim in this matchup.
Haye purely on the speed he adds to the power. I dont see adamek as a better boxer than haye either, his skills are under rated. I like both, great to watch. Adamek has a good chin, but haye has too much power and will hit adamek, who's defence is mediocre at best too much.
Adamek doesn't get much credit for it, but he can counter pretty well. Adamek has also fought fast guys and guys with power in their shots. Adamek would KO Haye.
Haye is faster, and hits harder. Adamek takes a better shot and has better stamina. Haye will probably beat Adamek to the punch all night, and since Dave was able to go 12 with the big lug Valuev, he'll probably have the gas to keep it up over 12 against Tomas. Haye by either tko or clear decision.
Right now its hard to say, because they only had 2-3 fights at HW and these fights werent vs elite opponents. They fight in April: Haye vs Ruiz and Adamek vs Arreola. If they finally pass through their opponents (wins by decisions, not by KO), then I will go with Adamek. Its because Arreola has some power and if Adamek can resist Arreola's power, he can do this with Haye's power too. However if Haye is able to KO Ruiz, then I give bigger chance to Haye. The same to Adamek, when he KOs Arreola, then I will favor him.
I believe Haye would win. Purely based on styles. Adamek does have an upright kind of style, without having huge physical advantages like the Klitschko's which will prove to be Haye's downfall. That style combined with Adamek's face first defence against handspeed would be a major major problem. Haye's extra speed, the way he picks counterpunches, his power, I think he could end it in the first 5 rounds. Adamek could stop Haye too, I think he'd have a slightly harder time landing the required shots. Haye can move quite well and draw mistakes whereas Adamek might actually have to go looking for Haye. I just think overall I could see the pattern of the fight suiting Haye more.
