    I guess with the Adamek vs Cunningham rematch i think its just a match that boxing fans wanna see again that maybe Adamek doesnt want since yea he already beat him once but since it was Cunningham's belt and he did give him a chance to fight for it I think Cunningham deserves another shot at it to try to avenge the loss Adamek should give Cunningham the same opportunity he gave him for the belt

    tell me about it I think BJ Flores could do well or Roy Jones Jr could move up in weight to fight there to make it a little more interesting if you ask me

    Adamek should not fight Chambers, unless he wants a guarateed loss.

    Adamek should rematch Cunningham, unless he has problems making cruiserweight, which I doubt. Obvioulsy Adamek wants the money at heavyweight, but he'll get more than he bargins for if he decides to fight Chambers right away.

    I don't think it's so bad of a move, may'be he will spark the Heavyweight division along with Haye and Arreola (I know it's a stretch) but he has the warrior mentality like Holyfield who doesn't have much skill, but he has the will.

    Don't write him off yet, lets wait and judge him after his first HW fight.

    I like Adamek and wish he would stay at CW. I think he can be a dominate force there for quite a while. But props to him for challenging himself with the move.

    If he goes to HW he better have

    1 Superb boxing skills

    or

    2 Speed

    Otherwise he becomes another Jirov.

    I really don't understand this one. The USS rematch has to happen.

    Adamek wants whatever fight will get him on TV.If HBO or Showtime puts him against Steve than he will fight against Steve.

    hah, it's getting complicated and we don't know who we should believe in, but I've just read Adamek's reply and he said exactly the same what you, Polish Pummler.

    All depends on TV, HBO is still into Adamek-Hopkins, but in January, 2010. Adamek wants another fight, so if TV gives him USS, there will be a rematch. He will be watching RJJ fight, so who knows, maybe Roy in fall. Also, there's possibility he will fight in HW. Adamek also said he will know something more in about 2 weeks.

    He's got pretty good skills and he is deceptively fast, too, IMO.

    Even still, I fear he might become the next Jirov, although if carefully matched, he can make some noise.

    I would much prefer seeing the Cunningham rematch followed by a mega bout with Hopkins.
