    Lets break it down by finding the proof and the puff:


    Technical ability:

    Khan has good, balanced footwork that enables him to throw sharp combinations at angles, then move away.

    Haye dashes around, throwing one punch at a time, because he's off balance.

    Proof: Khan

    Puff: Haye


    Resume:

    Khan - Peterson, Zab, Maidana, Malignaggi, Barrera - All good fights...except Barrera, who got shafted out of a NC.

    Haye - Barrett, Audley, Ruiz (a shot Ruiz), Valuev (gifted a decision), Wlad (got dominated)

    Proof: Khan

    Puff: Haye

    However, Haye wins in the bigger muscles, bigger mouth and biggest empty threats areas.

    Sadly only people from the UK share your sentiment.

    The rest of the boxing world thinks otherwise:thumbsup

    Wrong again. It's more like any sane person can see that Adamek is dismal at Heavyweight. Haye would crush him. Fact.

    Which doesn't mean ****.


    He doesn't have speed, power, chin, or defense over Haye.


    All he has is a bunch of fans who celebrate him for having "heart" because he got carried for 10 Rounds by a guy who is clearly afraid to risk it against Haye.

    Adamek has a better HW than Haye.

    Adamek isnt a coward like Haye.

    Adamek has tremendous technical skills (balance, proper technique, footwork), Haye has zero technical skills.

    Adamek has the tools to outbox or KO an opponent. Haye has only a punchers chance because he lacks the tools to stand back and box.

    Adamek does his talking with his fists and takes his lumps like a man. Haye whines, bitches and makes endless excuses...if he even makes it to the ring in the first place.

    Adamek is a real fighter. Haye is an underwear model.

    Fact.

    Any boxing fans outside the UK will agree on this 100%

    Haye is a ****ing clown.

    Before it was Haye, now it's Khan.

    After the Wlad fight I think Haye gets a bit underrated now if anything

    Khan's stays active and takes on names.

    Haye has a very thin resume and has never been overly active.
