    Why is Roy taking on bigger challenges now than in his prime?

    Please Tomasz don't fight Jones Jr.!

    Adamek draw a lot of his own blood going to the place where he is now and fight with Jones would spoil that.

    I don't mind if he fought Jones while having another contract for next bout with a real and good heavy like Solis 2-3 months later. But if he spoils his years for fighting likes oj RJJ he won't be a ATG.

    If this happens, the fight would not last more than 2 rounds. Roy is just too old and Adamek is really good now. Since beating Arreola and Grant it looks like Adamek is looking for easy checks, before he can get a fight for a belt. I mean, he could fight Wlad anytime, but until he is official WBO mandatory, it odesnt have financial sense. It looks like Adamek is really aiming in Vitali or just wait to become WBO mandatory and fight Wlad for good money.

    ADamek is great but well, i think he lost his ko instinct after Arreola and Grant. Arreola is very hard to KO Grant is very big, but his chin is like Wlads:):)

    Question is. is Adamek mentally ready to KO RJJ

    Lost KO instincts? More like he has no HW KO power or maybe no style letting to unleash full power hayemakers, hooks or uppercuts which is probably the only way to have a serious KO power for the guy his size at HW (see Tyson, Holyfield).

    Anyway, Jones is not a HW and I hope Adamek doesn't do it. A chance to beat a legend? Give me a break..

    of course you're right. Adamek is not explosive like Tyson or even Haye

    But RJJ is Glass Jawed and this fight(which i think is pathetic idea) could defend Adameks choice, if he would be albe to go for KO.THis doesnt happen in his any HW so far, except Golota. RJJ as an inflated HW will be easy to KO. This is not the same RJJ who schooled Ruiz

    To be honest, i dont want to see this fight, i dont like Ziggys ideas.Adamek is starting to move back, to calculate, that s bad for him

    BTW, "Fat" Dan Rafael said that the story was false and the fight, thankfully, isn't happening.

    Well, Rafael says Duva is against it, but Adamek's co-promoter is discussing the fight...

    Adamek wants to fight a name, but if he's gonna go for an old guy I'd prefer he target Tarver or Holyfield.

    Wlad-Adamek at MSG in March...Make it happen!

    But based on her comments, I think Duva wants to keep Adamek as far away as possible from Wlad.
