    he might do well fighting someone with the same height and reach of the klitschkos,with a strong jab,and power in them.

    fury?,david price(inexperienced,but not bad),dimitrenko?.helanius i think is pretty big??.

    Something about Adamek having a tuneup before Klitschko who says he wanted a tuneup before David Haye before he flipped out makes me laugh.

    Vinny Maddalone. Andrew Golota. Michael Grant. This guy is going to be killed.

    My personal preference would be vs a small fighter like green or toney, someone he can bully in an easy walkover.

    Only problem with him fighting a tall guy is the only real candidates are ustinov or dmitrenko and both could trouble his chin.

    Oh oh harrison would be a good tune up, see if he can better haye

    Barett or Rahman would be right choice in my opinion.

    First I thought about Fury, but I saw his photo with Wlad on the camp. It would be a perfect tune-up fight for Adamek, but Wlad would get a lot of information about Adamek from this fight.

    You forgot Arreola and Estrada.

    And BTW, Vinny went the distance with Boytsov.

    Technically its not a tune up but rather stay busy/improve skills fight.

    The difference is that Wlad's tune up is due to his recent injury and
    inactivity so he need to take the rust off. Adamek's Stay buys fight is a
    preferred choice to fight as often as he can. He had the April date set long
    time ago, so only the choice of proper opponent is significant right now.

    As who he have fought so far. You may be right with Maddalone
    but up to the Grant his choice of opponents was perfect. Maddalone
    is the only one who is step down/keep the current status fight.

    ustinov is ****, and dimitrenko lost to chambers, how can he trouble adamek's chin if arreola couldn't? imo the best tall guy out there is helenius but he's on the way top so he won't fight adamek, i would pick dimitrenko or austin if i were him...

    Chambers is fighting for the IBF mandatory eliminator next month against Derric Rossy (who Chambers TKO'ed in 7 in 2007).

    Assuming Chambers wins the IBF shot, I'm sure he's not going to be fighting Adamek this year.

    Since Helenius is probably not an option either (because he's a rising star), maybe Dimi or Ray Austin will fight him?
