    Alright everyone, the results are in! We had a solid sample size of 105 voters.

    About 60% of voters had Adamek inside the current Top 20 Pound-for-Pound, with only 40% ranking Adamek somewhere outside the Top 20.

    Almost one third of voters rated Adamek as a Top 15 P4P fighter, but less than 6% had him in the Top 10.

    Thanks for voting!

    Discuss.:good

    Personally, I found the change in perception refreshing. Adamek was very underrated after his only career loss to Chad Dawson (competetive fight, though not close on the cards).

    After beating a truly world class champion in Steve Cunningham, he is finally getting his due props.

    Being a two weight world champion is also a great accomplishment in itself; the fact that Cruiserweight is about 3 regular weightclasses above Lightheavyweight nowadays only makes it that much more impressive, IMO.

    Because he is a hell of a fighter.

    He is exciting to watch.

    He never ducks anybody.

    Types like Adamek are good for boxing, he is a no BS fighter.

    He is a great champion, humble, respectful, and doesnt make himself or the sport look bad.

    Why not?

    It has nothing to do with the fact that he's from Poland right? :D

    If he wasnt I would still be a fan, no doubt, and would have nothing against it.

    Fact that he is from Poland does make me an even bigger fan, though. I won't lie. :thumbsup

    He is great to watch.

    Why the mancrush on Bute?

    I probably wouldn't argue with that, but I would have to put together my top 20p4p list though

    P4P lists are subjective. I for one won't argue if anyone left him outside of the top 20.

    But according to general consensus, it's correct to refer to Adamek as a top 20 P4P fighter now.

    Have I ever made a post in which I said Bute is the best fighter in his division?

    Have I ever made a post saying Bute would knock out Kessler, Calzaghe, Froch, etc..... ?

    Have I ever made a post claiming Bute is a future ATG?

    Have I ever made a post about Bute's p4p status?

    :huh

    Your point?

    I made a poll and asked for a public opinion.

    Here I merely stated the results. :huh
