    eh , what is he cherry picking , just to be clear here ?

    If he wins his next fight he's in line for Wlad and I think we can both agree he has a far better chance at previous opponents than that, right ?

    While I dont care who he fights, I will say him getting a shot at Wlad anytime soon would be bull****, and I hope it doesnt happen (unless Adamek beats a top 7 guy without a gift given to him)

    Thats when Ill complain about something.

    The problem here is that Adamek is the best of the bad bunch.

    Well not entirely true I think Haye is far better, but he is a celebrity once a year boxer now.

    Adamek will fight regular , better hsi ranking position and like it or not if it aint against a klitschko at HW then he wins every time.

    Actually I find his honesty quite refreshing.
    There should be more of it in the world let alone boxing.

    As long as:

    a) he doesn't fight against someone who can box and move OR
    b) he gets another gift like in his last two fights

    I actually dont think Adamek is best of a bad bunch.

    I think Haye, Chisora, Fury, all stop Adamek in a fight. I wont even touch the multiple prospects I think could beat him if the fights were signed this year.

    Povetkin, Chambers, Cunningham, all on his level imo (some would say he should have L's already to Chambers n USSC)

    In fact, the only people I rank him over are guys like Seth, Banks, Arreola, Boytsov (though maybe not h2h), and Chagaev.

    Adamek seems like a nice guy but I really want him to get ktfo in brutal fashion so I do almost hope that he fights Wladimir

    He is one fight away from Wlad so there goes that theory !

    Shuan, speaking of the here n now, and putting the Wlad title shot to the side.

    Why do you care who Adamek choose who to fight?

    If he decides that from here on out he doesnt want to fight guys that will box him, and would rather be in slugging matches at heavyweight, why do you care? He doesnt have a belt, hes not ranked high by the establishment (by this I mean the boxing world (media, fans, fighters)

    The guys at the end of his road, without a belt to defend, and is fighting at heavyweight to make money.

    I just dont see why anyone would care who he chooses to fight at this stage.

    If he fights a live fighter in that fight, theres a huge chance he loses it, believe me.

    To be honest I don't really care who he fights, and judging by your posts in this thread we rate him very similarly. Just reeks of sour grapes to me: in many people's eyes he was outboxed in his last two fights and should have lost them, now he comes out and says that he's not fighting people who box and move any more because they're scared of him. We know the real reason he won't fight this style is because they make him look bad and he struggles with the movement. The only thing these fighters have to be afraid of against Adamek is getting jobbed.

    Sorry but Adamek at 233lbs (what he weighed vs Cunningham) is ridiculous!

    VK ruined him. He's basically just making a living nowadays..
