    He should chose someone that he'll get credit for beating. The front page suggests Whittaker, who like Grant, no matter how Adamek wins he wouldn't get any credit anyways.

    I would suggest fighting Dimitrenko, Austin, Liakhovich. They're ranked in the top 10 and i would be very interested in seeing any of those 3 fights.

    That said, I don't really want to see him fight another fight though i'd rather see him go for a title shot next.

    Grant hasn't been in title contention for years and that was the problem. He's affectively been on a journeyman circuit largely for about the last 8 years.

    Adamek doesn't get any credit for beating a good quality opponent. He will get credit for beating a massive heavyweight, even by today's standards. That is about it.

    He is not and will never be a heavyweight though. You can spot the difference between a true heavyweight and one that has been manufactured. He can not take heavyweight power - even though he's got a very good chin - and doesn't look like he can hit hard enough either.

    He's affectively getting by on smarts, which is not going to help him when the time comes to get in with Wlad. He's going to be in with a fighter with all the advantages, big power and dare I say it he's unfortunately going to be hurt very badly.

    He aint ready for a Klitchko but i dont think any amount of fights against people of the same height and build is guna make him any more ready. Its a hell of a challenge for him to face either brother but if he wants to do it he may aswell do it soon, or next.

    if i were him i would go for haye or vitali right now, haye for obvious reasons and vitali because he slows down, he didn't impress me against sosnowski, maybe because he didn't show everything but still, i think adamek would have big chances to win it, i wouldn't touch wlad on the other hand... but let's see them fight first, i've got this feeling that he'll go for wlad anyway since he's #1 at wbo...

    At his current obese state his feet move like he has cement blocks attached to them which would make it very likely for Adamek to give him the boxing lesson.

    Let me know when Solis actually does something at HW :good

    After seeing him against Grant I dont think he could bank with a Klitschko, Haye, or Povetkin..I was sure before but its obviious now....

    After last night I think Adamek will be VERY wary of the super HWs. He could beat a can like Whitaker but I could see Helenius, Dimitrenko and Austin taking him out. I just don't think a man as small as Adamek can be HW #4 in this day and age.
