Adamek, as much as I like him, is close to feather-fisted at HW

    It's like comparing a mere gatekeeper to the GOAT and the 2 ATG contenders!! People can't do that

    Yeah, but after Lewis destroyed him, he never came back from that and hasn't breached the top ten for a decade. If he wants to beat a very good big man (either Klit), he's at least going to have to beat up a washed up, decent big man?

    Like I said, I admire the fact that Adamek steps up and brings quality that the HW division needs so bad, but all of his last three fights have been hard struggles and only one of them was a really good opponent (Arreola), in which the decision could've gone either way.

    He should expect a fight with Klitschko to be a payday and nothing more.

    knowing Adamek doesnt have a chance against the Klit's only puts him in the same company as 100% of the rest of the division.

    Pontius is correct.

    I have been impressed by Adamek's performances at the heavier weight, but he does NOT have a HW punch, and while his boxing skills have kept him competitive, even dominant, against lesser HWs, he would have no chance against either Klitschko. They could give him free shots, a la Mayorga, and it wouldn't make much difference.

    He could possibly out box Haye over 12, but his defence is not great and Haye has a lot more pop than Grant. I would be cheering for Tomas, but the smart money would have to be on Haye by KO.
