    That wasn't quite a lie. Seems that people get the point.

    What is your educated guess for what Adamek does after at least one year?

    He will fight Golota in that latter's retirement fight, in Poland or Chi town.

    Whether he stays at heavy or not...50% chance either way.

    Adamek will be past his best days (which are right now) by the time he moves up.

    thats what they have him listed as.....tyson was listed at 5-11 3/4 but people have said he was as short as 5 foot 9.

    with that said , chagaev is short, but has always been a heavyweight.....adamek putting on pounds on his frame wouldnt be the same....

    Damy guys it has to happen!!! Adamek is right now the best at cruiserweight! Perhaps he can fight enzo mac then he has beaten all good man! But what i wanna see is David haye vs tomasz adamek at heavyweight! The 2 best cruisers in their own genaration have to fight and find out who is the best because they never fought at cruiserweight! I am in for haye then people would finally stop saying david haye wasnt undisputet! Lets get it on!

    No way.

    I hope he stays at cruiserweight, I really do. MAYBE if someone small won a belt, he could take a one-and-go stab at it, but I'd rather see him defend the cruiser title a dozen times while unifying in the process.

    He has the potential to become an all-time great in that division.

    I seriously hope he finishes his career right where he is now, even when he's past his best days.

    But I suppose the lure of big money might tempt him.

    His frame is probably even smaller than 200 but there ain't no weigth class.

    Frankly, he looks even a bit small for cruiser, and I don't know how well his style would play against much bigger guys.

    If I'm Adamek, I try pursuing Hopkins in a catchweight fight for the cruiserweight belt and ring title. Adamek probably loses that fight, but it's his most credible threat and would be a career high payday.
