    Adamek-Cunningham rematch will make not enough numbers TV guys say. Really? What fight would you like to see more if you had to pick one?

    Boxing fans vote what you really want!

    My vote goes to Adamek-Hopkins. I find that bout even more intriguing that Pavlik vs Hopkins

    Adamek/Hopkins of course but would prefer to see Hopkins remain retired. Adamek/Cunningham should be a great fight though I've heard Adamek plans to move up to Heavy.

    No interest at all in Hopkins vs Adamek. It's a foregone conclusion that Hopkins will school him. I'd rather see Hopkins fight Dawson and Adamek fight Cunningham. Other than the three crucial knockdowns, you can definitely argue Adamek was outboxed against Cunningham in the first fight.

    Dawson vs Hopkins is the best fight to be made at 175 right now. While it would be cool to see Hopkins win yet another title at another weight class, I just don't care to see him vs Adamek.

    Hopkins-Dawson? Is B-Hop 50 already?

    Cunningham vs Adamek would be the better fight. Hopkins vs Adamek would have a better lead up. The fight itself would not be as good. Hopkins would probably just potshot from the outside.

    Realistically Adamek is too much for Hopkins in my eyes. The weight factor will play too big a part in that match up, and I would not want BHOP's legacy to be tarnished like that. Not enough money for the risk involved.
    On the other hand Adamek vs. Cunningham II would be fkin ballin'. USS has got some big eggs in the basket, and I would like to see if he can avenge that loss. I heard USS had a really long layoff before the Adamek fight too. Cunningham v. Adamek is the fight boxing fans want to see, and that fight should be made.

    This thread would suggest that boxing fans don't think that's the case.

    Adamek/Cunningham II by far, look at all the action and excitment that fight created. No way will a Hopkins/Adamek fight will be anywhere close, the only purpose of seeing Adamek/Hopkins is to see if Hopkins can extend his legacy.

    The Hopkins fight for me. The only reason Adamek/Cunningham was even close was because Tomek was waiting and waiting all fight to launch his bombs. He's really gotta do something about that ****ing waiting. There's no suspense in that for me. When Adamek throws; Cunningham goes down, again, and again, and again. I don't need to see a rematch, even though the first fight came off as entertaining. Not with that reason behind it.

    I disagree with that SR. I felt that Adamek wasnt waiting to launch his bombs but rather Cunningham got reckless whenever he was gaining momentum. Like that early round where Cunningham was giving Tomas a beatdown, but Adamek got the KD at the last second. Cunningham gets carried away while in the heat of the moment, and it cost him big whenever he went overboard. All Cunningham had to do was jab all night and he would of got the victory. Hopkins knows this to, which is why he probably wants to take advantage of it.

    Adamek almost ALWAYS waits, bar Briggs. There is zero room for debate on that, BB. This isn't a matter of perception. All Adamek had to do was sustain his workrate and it would have been over in a few rounds. QUITE the opposite, my friend.. I'd suggest you watch it again, as well as Adamek/Bell, and Adamek/Dawson for some further context. Adamek made Cunningham look MUCH better than he is, and made that fight MUCH harder than it needed to be.

    The hopkins fight. It is likely to be an easy fight for Hopkins, but since there are people who dont think so - I want them to fight so we can get it proven.

    The Hop fight is more intriguing.
