Who was the best Polish Cruiserweight ?

Glowacki was a beast at his peak

 

I always thought of Glowacki as a one hit wonder but I forgot that he beat Cunningham and had a decent run between the Usyk loss and the Breidies loss which was controversial if I remember. After that stoppage loss he began getting stopped and never seemed to recover from that defeat

Włodarczyk has quietly been winning fights into his 40's though he has faded a bit from the limelight after the early KO loss to Gassiev. I know he was a champ and beat Cunningham prior to the 2009 time period in the OP but I forgot how long he held the title after 09.

I would say Glowacki's win over Huck is the best win of their combined resumes

I do think Włodarczyk has more depth given wins over Fragomeni, Green, Palacios, Chahkiev, Duradola, Brudov and future title holder Mikaeljan

Włodarczyk also rematched his close fights and outside of an early body shot KO loss he has been very competitive in defeat and did not get KO'd multiple times

I have actually seen both fight live at Prudential witnessing Glowacki knockout Huck in a great fight and saw Włodarczyk counted out on a body shot during the WBSS against Gassiev

The other two were contenders who did not quite achieve enough to be ranked above the Krzysztof's though Cieslak in most people's eyes beat Makabu and should have held a title so there is that

 

I would say Wlod; plus he is on a twelve fight win streak

 

Glowacki is one of Usyks most underrated wins. Dude was a problem.

I'd say Wlodarczyk of those four names, Glowacki was very good as well.

But the best Polish cruiserweight was Tomasz Adamek.

 

The one who won a Bridgerweight title.

 

Adamek all day long

 

I a weird way, it was a good fight, too. Usyk won every round clean, but Glowacki hung in there, did what he could, and I swear, Usyk had a look on his face the whole time like he just didn't want to be there.

 

I was going to type this word for word. Totally agree.

 

As soon as I read thread title Adamek popped up first in my mind instantly. Couldn't believe he wasn't named.

 

Adamek had his last 2 cruiserweight fights in 2009 before moving up to heavyweight to finish out his career, so perhaps OP didn’t mention him because most of the timeline specified was well after Adamek moved up to heavyweight?

 

Same! Wish he and Haye didn’t miss each other.
