Ali's punch = Adamek's punch?

Adamek is hart to hit (has improved a lot recently) and has a very good stamina. He lacks solid punch and it hurts in that division.

 

LOL at the troll

 

Yeah, totally, especially against tubbos and 40-50 year olds. Regular willie pep in there.

 

Adamek moves his feet, but he doesn't move his body enough. He's hard to hit for guys like McBride, but Wlad or Haye for instance would land leather on him pretty easily.

Vitali though, Vitali has slowed down. He may have a slight change against Vitali.

 

Your comparing the power of a man who stopped frazier, floyd patterson and ktfo sonny liston and was the only man to brutally ko george foreman while being past prime with adamek who cant stop grant or mcbride, I know ali's power is underrated but come on.......

He moves his body too. I think its an element that has the biggest prioritate when Adamek is training. Bloodworth has switched Adamek from European to American style of boxing. American style is more fluent, you dont block punches, but try to avoid them by movement. I see a huge improvement im that area (yes I know his opposition was poor in last few fights and its hard to judge fair). However if Adamek dreams about beating Vitali, he has 5 months of training and needs bigger improvement.

Thats true. The quality of the opposition is bad. However some basic changes may be noticed (in switching to American boxing style: stepping to the left, moving the head and the body).

 

Obvious troll is obvious.

Look at all the little fishes you've reeled in. :yep

 

Ali was taller than Liston. Sonny only had a modest weight advantage over Ali. Two Adameks wouldn't make a Kilitschko. Come on now.

I agree with the others though. Size won't be the reason Adamek loses.

 

Sonny also had an 84 inch reach and monster power. His reach is 3-4 inches longer than Wlad's.

 

I won't talk about Adamek's punch power. He can't plant his feet and stand in front of a guy long enough at heavyweight to actually put any weight and force into his shots. Adamek is a guy with great heart, who knows how to fight and who was a really good cruiserweight, but you can't compare his punch power to Ali.

 

Ali was basically a small heavy. His power was no better than Adamek's IMO.

 

Ali = Black American
Adamek = White European



I'll let you draw your own conclusions as to who hit harder and why I'm posting this.

 

Ali was over naturally over 190lbs when he was only 18, he was a natural heavyweight. Adamek on the other hand has clearly done a lot of gym work to get up to around the 215lb mark.

Then add to this that Ali has a big reach advantage, a height advantage and much better timing and fluency to his punching, his power is going to be far superior to Adamek's
