    whose name is not wlad or vitali klitschko?

    I know there's haye perhaps, but I would argue that from a pure boxing standpoint, adamek is better. what do you think? who is a better boxer/puncher?

    I can think of at least better punchers.

    Better boxers - Chambers.

    Adamek is not a puncher at heavyweight. Just a boxer.

    a pure boxer wouldnt have demolished golota like that, regardless of his years. that was a five round beatdown, a perfect boxer-puncher display. he's a boxer puncher. pure boxers dont come forward

    True, Golota has no history of retiring early.

    What do you mean by boxer/puncher? That he can outbox and knockout people? Sure, he has boxing skills but he has had 3 decisions since Golota, not that they were tomato cans, but nevertheless.

    Boxerwise, I could see an even fight with him vs. Chambers, Chugaev or Povetkin.

    Four fights at heavyweight and the only time he looked to have brought his power up was against the corpse of a never-was. He's not a puncher at heavyweight.




    “Adamek doesn’t have the power to keep you off of him”
    http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=25440&more=1


    On whether he believes Adamek has the power to test any of the heavyweight champions:

    “As far as power-wise, no because he doesn’t have enough to keep you off of him. I mean I told the reporters after the fight, I said, ‘If they make a move right there with the Klitschko’s, you’re trying to cash out because I know you’re not trying to win this’. Adamek doesn’t have the power to keep you off of him. The reason why I was trying to keep off of him is because I was just trying to land a big boom, but as far as power-wise, no. He does not have the power to keep you off of him. He is deficient in that department.”

    Povetkin, Chagaev, Boytsov

    Povetkin has already beaten Chambers.

    I'm with boxed ears here. Adamek is a boxer, not a puncher

    solis can probably box better and punches better but his conditioning is dire. I'm going to throw this one out there as well. An in shape, determined Audley Harrison :smoke

    These guys, plus Adamek and Hellenius are the fights I want to see.
