    I'd put him top 15 for sure.

    Adamek is a natural Lightheavy, who moved up to 25 pounds and just won the Cruiserweight championship. His resume:

    175 lbs

    Paul Briggs ( Ring #8 )
    Thomas Ulrich ( Ring #8 )
    Paul Briggs rematch ( Ring #9 )

    Pts Loss to Chad Dawson ( Ring #10 )

    200 lbs

    Steve Cunningham ( Ring #1 )
    O'Neil Bell ( Ring #3 )
    Luis Pineda

    I'd say top 15. At WORST, top 20. Ring recently had him at NUMBER ****ING SEVENTY! (or something like that).

    :-(

    I'd say he's in the 10-12 range, personally.

    If Calderon cracks top 10, then ADAMEK should easily hit 15

    i honesty think Adamek finally deserve placed at #10, only one lost, coming from Chad Dawson, LHW champ now CW, good resume seriously. But thats just my thinking, but no way in top 5

    #10-12 4 sure

    TA needs 2 work on head movement. It may cost him the rematch with USS.

    Well, I'm sure there are RdxRd and recaps out there aplenty, but here is my take:

    Adamek used his jab well and had a decent guard in this fight. Parried a lot of Steve's shots. Cut the ring off well.

    Movement still troubled him but not nearly as much.

    He floored Cunningham 3 times early and showed good handspeed. He also came back from getting rocked a few times.

    In the end I had Adamek by 3, in a FOTY candidate type war.

    Dawson rematch will happen first, from what I hear.

    Adamek is top 15 or 20. If he beats Dawson in a rematch he should be top 10.

    I'd put Dawson-Adamek at an even fight at 200 (with maybe a very slight edge to Chad).

    No he didn't, and that one round (the 7th) where Dawson had that bogus knockdown was a 3 point swing. That fight was closer than it appeared on the cards. And Adamek definitely won a few rounds.

    How bad was Dawson hurt by Adamek in the 10th in your opinion.
