CW Haye was a beast and would kill Adamek

[SplitSecond]

lets be honest, if he was still at CW he'd be the unified champ having knockout wins over adamek and cunningham, those guys dont have the durability of thompson who in all fairness won that fight the same way homer simpson wins in boxing, haye at cruiser was lightning for someone so big and musclebound, not to mention great head movement and huge power



agree or disagree?

agreeeeeeeeeeee

[geribeetus]

why doesn't adamek have the durability of thompson

I assume you never watched the Dawson fight then? Adamek tripped on Dawsons foot, even the replays show it, it was a body punch and he tripped on Dawsons foot trying to avoid the punch. Never once was he shaken by Dawson. He was weight drained, sick and had to swap managers for that fight but still knocked Dawson down and had him running for the last 3 rounds.
I dont think I have ever seen Adamek properly shaken yet, fourth round against Cunningham will be everyones arguement but his knees never buckled once not even in the slightest, and after that round of taking so many big shots he knew he didn't have to worry about Cunningham because his punches had no effect, only scored points.
Adamek to beat Haye the same way Adamek beat Banks, Adamek can and will take punches to get his punches off and there is no way Haye is going to take 8 rounds of Adameks punches and combos. Haye has been on the deck against much much smaller punchers than Adamek.

I think he would stop both Cunningham and Adamek at Cruiser, Cunningham's chin is shaky anyway, it's not bad but its not solid and Haye at Cruiser had crazy power. Adamek was shaken by Cunningham and Banks who are good punchers but don't have the power of Haye.

Adamek would last a while and though I don't think one punch would end the fight, Adamek is easy to hit (especially at CW where Ronnie Sheilds hadn't improved Adameks movement) repeated shots from Haye would end the fight.

Remember Haye was often the aggressor at CW.

Haye might be better than Adamek but would he beat some of the best Cruiserweights right now like Cunningham, Wlodarcyk, Jones, Huck etc

Im not convinced he would. Adamek should have rematched Cunningham

But I can understand him wanting the money at HW

Adamek destroys Haye.

Check out my Adamek/Haye thread.

Hypejob Haye is an overrated glass chinned fraud.

4:15, Adamek's legs go out under him for a second, he not REALLY hurt but he was surprised and his legs were swept out from under him. I think Adamek gets shaken quite a bit (like against Cunningham, Banks, Arreola and Dawson but not the Dawson knockdown earlier in the fight) it's his incredible powers of recovery that let him not go down when hes hit hard.
