    Adamek walks around at 210 now and is most likely going to move to HW.

    Bernard walks around at 185 or so.

    Adamek's way to big and has much more physicality (size, endurance and power) at this point than Bernard. And Bernard can't deal with his kind of pressure at this point in his career.

    IF Bernard were to win, it would be easily his greatest accomplishment to date.


    But it's just not a very winnable prospect for him.

    Why was Jones talking so fast and not allowing Bernard to speak? He comes across as a bit of an immature prat.

    Truth is, I wouldn't mind seeing this fight. Considering both men are out of their primes and both are legends, this fight makes sense before they retire. And you're right cuchu, the ball is in Bernard's court. Hopefull they'll agree to it, I'd like to see that fight.

    I think BHop had more valid points! I also think his Legacy stands over Roys by far. Lets see if Roy can do what Bhop does to these younger fighters. I dont see it.

    You got me confused with somebody that actually cares whether they fight or not. Roy already beat Hopkins and has a better resume anyway. Floyd has already taken the short end of the stick in every way against Oscar so I don't even know why you bring him up. It has absolutely nothing to do with him anyway.

    I doubt either of them are hurting for money. Roy is still living off his Matrix money.
