Would you begrudge Vitali if after Adamek he went after some easy money making fights

    After Adamek he will be in his 40's after all. Since his comeback he has of course added some great scalps to his CV, the likes of Solis, Arreola, Peter, Juan Carlos Gomez and to a lesser extent Briggs. So considering his age would you be happy to see him target some of the easy paydays which he would win with ease barring injury against the likes of Toney, Mormeck, Dimitrenko, Timur, Tua, Ustinov and Liakhovich?

    Personally I wouldn't have a problem with it and wouldn't mind seeing him crush a few of the above.

    its all easy money for Vitali...

    don't see anyone out there to give him trouble until age sets in...

    remember Arreola and Kingpin Johnson were un-defeated and
    many on ESB predicted they would win against Vitali :hey

    :lol:

    I bet he fights Holyfield after he's 40 so the media doesn't make
    as big of a deal about their age difference leading up to the fight...

    should retire holyfield for good with one last good paycheck :good

    I think he's been already doing this all the time. Btw, I can't see why your first list of fighters is in any way better than the last one. When there were Toney or Ruiz, V. Klitschko fought Danny Williams. When there was Valuev, he fought Sosnowski.

    Someone big was going to fight Williams after he destroyed Tyson not long after Lewis beat him, bear in mind also it wasn't long after Vitali vs Lewis so it was going to do well on Sky box office.

    Valuev didn't want the fight, he turned it down, just like Povetkin and Haye, what can he do.

    He offered Valuev more previously when he had a belt too of course.

    Adamek IS an easy money making fight.

    I would yes.

    He's still in his brother's shadow and he won't escape that taking easy fights. His only chance at greatness is to outlast wlad or to better his resume.

    Adamek is the perfect risk/reward fight for VK, the only possible way I can see Vitali losing is physical break-down.

    Can anyone really make the case for an Adamek win?

    I agree, but I don't want him to give up trying either. The guy had such potential I feel like we were robbed of a great fighter with them 4 years.

    He can keep the momentum going tho, pov or chag are both top 5. Chambers would be a great victory also.

    Against an aging Vitali there is always a chance Adamek can win on points, his whole career at heavyweight seems to have been against opponents ( big ole ****s ) that will get him practice for this type of win, a big ask though of course.
