    Easy there, sparky.

    Adamek has fought and beaten more top 10 opponents than Froch. He has also beaten a division #1 ranked fighter and been crowned Ring Champion, neither of which Froch has achieved.

    The difference being that Froch has fought genuine quality opposition. The best wins on Adamek's record are scraping by Cunningham, an MD over Arreola and beating a shot Bell. No way does any of that compare to Froch's wins over Pascal, Abraham, Taylor or Dirrell.

    Titles aren't that significant when you beat poor opposition to get them. Froch is fighting world class opponents. Adamek has yet to beat one in his prime, apart from Cunningham.

    Says the homer that has Haye listed as #2. ANYONE can see that P4P Adamek clearly is above him and has a case to be above Froch too, though I wouldn't beef with anyone who put Froch at one.

    Sure it compares. Cunningham was the #1 in the division and IBF champ. Arreola was a top 10 HW who was favoured to beat Adamek. Those two wins alone top anything on Froch's resume.

    Throw in Bell (former undisputed champ), Briggs (twice), Banks, and Ulrich and that's a solid list.

    Bell may have been past his best, but need I remind you that Pascal was still green? Or that Taylor was past it ever since Pavlik destroyed him?

    Also, Adamek has been fighting opponents his size or bigger, Froch has been fighting smaller MWs moving up like Abraham and Taylor.

    Adamek may have scraped past Cunningham but at least he has never got a hometown robbery gift like Froch did against Dirrell. :good

    Seriously, just shut up. I can play this game too.

    Pascal was green, Abraham is 1 dimensional, Taylor was shot....and Dirrell? Your mentioning Adamek "scraping" Cunningham, Froch "scraped" Dirrell..

    Exactly, axe described it perfectly. And if you want to nitpick at Adamek's resume you can easily do it with Froch.

    You can nitpick ANYONE'S resume..... His attempt at explaining his opinion is vastly flawed. He obviously has some sort of grudge against Adamek....Or maybe hes just looking at it from a nationalistic point of view....Whatever, I dont need anyone to tell me who is better than who, technically. Having a opinion is one thing, but having a reasoning for that opinion is something else

    Adamek doesn't seem to get the props he should get on this forum and I think its kinda sad. Maybe part of the reason is because its flooded with Haye fans.

    You don't have to fight like Evander Holyfield to be a good CW/HW.
