    The poll should have included

    "No , I want to see Tomasz Adamek fight someone else "
    That would have been my response.

    Hopkins is seldom in an exciting fight , he slows a fight down to a clinch fest and disrupts a fighters timing ... Ruiz and B-Hop have a lot in common.

    Poor chad dawson. He has a "w" over adamek, but the pole is getting
    the fight w/ hopkins while he is left fighting a guy he just dominated.
    Kessler and dawson should challenge each other for the biggest wastes of talent is boxing.

    Dawson should rematch Johnson. There's no "poor Chad Dawson" bull**** until he rematches the man who gave him absolute hell, and won on many cards including my own.

    Hopkins might bring out the worst in other fighters, and in the eyes of casual fan, I can see why many would label his fights as being "dull" or "boring",

    Regardless, I'm hard-pressed to see that being the case this time, as Adamek always brings excitement.

    This fight will be awesome.

    Hell yes I'm on board. Imagine a career middleweight winning a CW title at 44 years of age. Not sure Hops can pull this one off, but I do want to see him try!

    This one falls a day after my B-day and I love it. Hopkins is an absolute bad ass for jumping all the way to Cruiser, against the top dog in the division and another bad ass himself, Adamek. Can Hopkins pull off a Dawson and straight jacket Adamek like he did to Pavlik? Can Adamek be the first to knock Hopkins out? He certainly has the one punch power and the ring intelligence to do so. But we all know the Executioner has a way of confounding even the brightest fighters. Both men see potential weaknesses in one another and enough financial reward and legacy perks for this fight to click together so effortlessly and so fast. The fight itself may not be great largely because of Hops' style but the implications for both men are very large. Overall, this is the best fight both men could have at this point in their careers.

    Impressive. Will Adamek enter the P4P ratings if he beats Hopkins? Beyond Hopkins, Adamek will also have an opportunity to make a lot of noise in boxing if he fights with Haye and rematches with Dawson and Cunningham. We'll see if he's capable of being successful there, but he certainly has promising opportunities ahead.Suddenly CW looks like one of the more exciting divisions.
