    Mr David Haye WAS KNOCKED OUT by an old washed up nobody at CW.There is no reason to believe that Adamek can't ko him.

    and how long ago was that?

    Pacquaio was knocked out early in his career as well.

    I´m German and I npick Adamek to knock Haye out. But then I don´t think much of Haye at all. Overrated glass-jawed coward.

    Could have been better but given the size and reach advantage of Grant it was okay. I thought he would do better. Him, Haye and Povetkin are Top5 but this just shows how bad hw is at the moment.

    Overrated?...Unified the Cruiserweight division, then moved up and captured a World Title...hasn't done much since then apart from his mandatory, but overrated? It's not like I've heard people saying he would KO Ali, etc.

    Adamek beats Haye by late TKO.
    Vitali beats Adamek by wide points or late TKO.
    Wlad straight up KOs Adamek in the mid-rounds.

    Haye has below average defense and even worse stamina. His punch output is pathetic at hw. He has power and speed early but Adamek has a pretty good chance to beat the fanny if he fights smart early and doesn't get too wild. Haye makes a lot of mistakes when he starts to get tired like getting over aggressive or allowing himself to get pinned on the ropes. Also keep in mind, Adamek has been busy while Haye fights about 1X/year and appears not to have a deep desire to fight anymore but only to make $$$. I would slightly favor adamek right now.

    Vitali would pressure Adamek and outwork him although Adamek will have some early moments of success with single counters. But Vitali will walk through them easily. He still has heavy hands and throws from all angles and will gradually grind Adamek down dominating late.

    But Wlad would clown adamek then KO him in brutal fashion. Adamek has got skills, intelligence and toughess. However, he doesn't have the defense, chin or power to be competitive with an elite super hw like Wlad. Wlad's control of distance, jab, speed and one-punch power turn this into a mismatch.

    I thought Adamek was in a competitive fight with a shot fighter last night. Grant spent the majority of the time posing, and when he did throw, they were telegraphed and inaccurate punches. I was not impressed with Adamek, further reinforced the belief that Haye would light the Pole up in fairly quick time.

    Odlanier Solis KO'd Mr David Haye in the amateur with head gear and bigger gloves than in pro boxing. Also SMW Lolenga Mock put Mr David Haye on his ass in their fight.
    I see Mr David Haye lying on his back is he finds the courage to fight Adamek.

    Do you harbor any animosity towards David Haye..considering the comments he made about your current active fighter?

    You can't seriously believe this is relevant to anything we're discussing?

    Well said, the hype around Adamek has got silly. He wasnt a great LHW struggling twice with Briggs and apparently being weight drained.
    Did well at CW for the short time he was there.
    But at HW all hes doing is beating and struggling with weak regional American opposition who fail at European level.
    I agree he would lose to Haye and the Klitschkos, I think by KO also and agree he should go back to CW where he is better suited

    Yeah, he unified. Against an over the hill former decent fighter and a never has been. Huge thing. And beating Valuev isn´t that hard. Donald, Chagaev and Holyfield did it before.

    Yeah, he is overrated. Big time.



    I wasn´t impressed either. He looked better against Arreola. Looking at his career he seems to up his game when the task get´s harder. Haye hasn´t shown me much at hw. A decent punch and the ability to run. Nah, I´m more impressed with Adamek up to now.
