Er I think more people gave Haye a chance v Wlad than people give Adamek v Vitalit. I think the Haye was a bigger fight on paper I hate to say.
If haye had adameks mentality and will he could have actually maybe posed a challenge to wlad...and yeah haye wlad got far more hype. While todays fight was far from great it was better than haye wlad, and the lacklusterness wasn't due to lack of effort on either fighters part
Er.... Ignore me, I'd eaten my own weight in buffet Chinese, washed down with a few beers.
Don't know what came over me. Had a moment where I though Adamek had a chance, watching the fight now and it's laughable to have even thought it.
Well I thought adamek had a slim chance due to thinking vitali might get old and have a off night and adamek the night of his life, I think its clear now that even wouldn't have been enough.Quote:

If I follow your opinion, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I take it you don't like Adamek?
Could it be that you're jealous because Adamek showed in one round more heart and guts than Haye did in all 12. Or because Adamek showed you a much better heavyweight fight than Haye did?
Haye's a joke of the worst kind. He faked a whole country into believing he was a good heavyweight and then fought like a nancy when he had the chance to prove himself. No offense man, but get over it. Unfortunately, Haye will always be known as a punk. As an outsider american, I'll tell you in all honesty he's a disgrace to British heavyweight boxing. Adamek isn't an american so I don't have a bone in this fight, but Haye could learn a thing or two (or three) about mettle and toughness from Adamek.
If you like British heavyweights, go root for Price or Fury.
i dont mind adamek, in fact although he was vastly outclassed his performance was quite gutsyQuote:

the only reason i can see of anyone thinking he would beat haye would be driven by hate for haye
the difference between my opinions and your opinions on any situation involving david haye is, i dont hate any fighter nor do i love any fighter, it is clear from your posts that you do have a deap hate for haye
haye lost to wlad in a poor show yes, adamek lost to vitali in just as one sided fight
IMO haye would beat adamek so in answer to the thread title - no this isnt the biggest HW fight for years
haye v wlad had more tallent and was a bigger more anticipated build up
