    I see him winning one round against Wlad at best, 0 against Vitali. All I know is he no way lasts the distance.

    Total exaggeration. My god, if a guy like Sosnowski can go 10 with Vitali and Briggs can make it to 12, there's no reason that Adamek - a guy with an excellent chin, which is pretty proven at HW - can't last the distance. Adamek will in no way be anything as easy to hit or as stationary as VKs past opponents. Saying Adamek is some kind of KO victim waiting to happen is not a prediction I would bet on at all, considering Adamek's strengths.

    Yet, in predicting his future outcomes, some often forget his past in favour of the size/strength argument.

    exactly

    hes morel likely to win a UD to against vitali than wlad.


    wlad is more accurate and powerful and slightly more skillfull.

    even though i think vitali can beat more ATGs than wlad.

    based on styles adamek is more likely to beat vitali than wlad.

    I dont think he's underrated or overrated. he sits where he should sit, as a possible threat to the klitschko reign of dominance. also, I dont think saying he has no chance against a klitschko is necessarily underrating him. the klitschkos have dominated for years in nearly flawless (although some consider it boring) fashion, so not thinking adamek has a chance against them is probably the most accepted and clear opinion on the outcome of a fight between adamek and any of the K bros, but upsets do happen, and adamek has greater boxing ability coupled with aggression than all of the K Bros' opponents in the last few years, but his size and lack of punching power at this weight offer reason to doubt his chances.

    When people insist that David Haye would run right over Adamek, they are under rating Tomasz. Other than that I think most people, with the exception of a few Klit huggers, rate him just about right.

    Adamek would knock Haye out, but Audley might beat him to it!

    imo opionon adamek is the real deal, but not at heavyweight, adamek would have big problems against chagaev, haye, povetkin, chambers and peter. wladimir will ko him clean with one punch, i would bet my money on that. vitali will beat him down and tko him in the 11th round

    This :good.... Adamek is a great LHW and CW but so far at HW he has struggled with the guys that his speed and style should have found the easiest.... against guys like Wlad and Haye who are equally as quicker or quicker he will struggle. Against Vitaly's awkward style and the way he uses his height he has little chance of landing as regularly as Vitali will. I al so wouldn't have him as favourite against Chagaev or Chambers but i would favour him to be able to box and move and get a points win against Peter.

    he could beat most everyone at heavyweight on a good night, but his lights could go out with a big punch which i dont think he can take....but with that said, he wouldnt win a round against any of the klits...and haye would probably over power him....... would like to see him up against Valuev, just for freak show purposes

    His win against Arreola was pretty good. Even if its a SD

    Adamek, Povetkin, Dave, Solis

    When K2 beats these guys as clear and dominant as they have everyone in the last 7 years im pretty much sold on them.
