Adamek-Cunningham answered one big question for me...

[Mr. Philadel]

Steve is my boy but I'm in agreement that Haye probably would've gotten him up outta there.....but then again Adamek took some shots that Haye might not have taken well, plus Haye carries his left low something Adamek doesn't do....yall know the old sayin Styles make......yall know the rest

I still think Cunningham would have a chance against Haye. Steve would just need to respect his power and not let him land. I think Cunningham's mistakes against Adamek were partly due to ring rust, he seemed sharper against Huck and Wlodarczyk.

Haye only looks good against boxers with poor lateral movement who stand in front of him like Gurov and Bonin. A slick boxer like Cunningham or Sultan Ibragimov would tire Haye out and then stop him, if they used the right game plan.

Haye's power and speed at CW were just murderous, perhaps the hardest puncher in the history of the division. They more than overcame any shortcomings of his chin - similar to Hearns at WW.

I think Cunningham/Haye would have been a toss up. Cunningham is a good boxer and is lighting fast, and we never seen how Haye would do in a technical boxing match against a highly skilled boxer. Even in his fight with Macrinelli( who is an average boxer at best) he was lunging trying to find spaces and leaving himself vulnerable in the process, i don't think he would had that success with Cunningham who is a decent counter puncher and a big cruiser weight. It might have been another situation where ''who hits who'' first.
