    .........for his legacy, certainly not for viewing audiences.

    A 44 year old man that is really a 160 lb fighter can actually be accused of ducking Haye or the Klitschkos? :patsch

    adamek without a doubt he is a very dangerous fight especialy compared to valuev lol

    valuev is considerd by some a bit of a joke because if the guy was not soo freakishly big he would be a nobody

    beating a guy like adamek in his prime dangerous 2 weight world champ
    with good names on the record would be very big indeed for BHOP

    A win over both would be great. But beating Valuev would hold mor weight in the future. Ppl can say Adamke is still unproven cause he lost to Dawson & hasn't beaten anyone as good yet. But ppl can also bash Valuev cause he isn't good at all, he's only big. But Hopkins moving up 2 weight classes and beating the 7 ft 300+ pound giant for the WBA title looks very good on paper, IMO it beats what Pac did to DLH.

    Adamek is considered the man now at Cruiser and has been looking good and making the start of legacy for himself.

    Valuev in his last few fights has become a joke of a fighter and looked worse and worse, while simultaneously the WBA HW "Belt" has become a ****ing joke that has zero legitimacy.

    Beating Adamek would be huge, going up in weight and winning the recognized titles at Cruiser.

    Beating Valuev would just be a freak show, and BHop would in way be the real champion of the division.

    Adamek is more significant for pure boxing and a better match up.

    Valuev is a more significant fight for novelty value.

    A Adamek win would be a huge deal, but despite Valuev's lack of skill a Valuev win would be bigger. Just simply because of the drastic difference in size.

    Adamek is the more quality opponent also with the more quality title, the CW lineal championship. Valuev holds an alphabet HW title and that would get people's attention more, also with Nicolay being a huge beast.

    But it's nothing more than fantasy fight, and never going to happen. Sauerland/King turned down the Klistchkos multible times, and they guaranteed multi-million dollars. Hopkins/GBP can't offer the same amount of money, and even if he had his opportunity, you can't win a decision vs. the monster. 118-110 on my card for Holyfield wasn't enough. Hopkins-Holyfield would've made sense with the Real Deal willing to fight the other grandpa of boxing, but King/Sauerland will never let Hopkins embarrass Nico boy.
