Adameks main strengths against other heavyweights is his speed, not his physical strength. Even if he forces his body to push more weight in the gym, he will never contend with Vitaly or Wladimir in the ring strength wise, he's just not a natural heavyweight. Going up to 225lbs will further diminish his chances at going 12 hard rounds without gassing. Adamek should've tried to go back to CW, going up to 225lbs will only get him in more trouble.
Adamek vs Huck would be INSANE!!! I saw some footage of Hucks fight with Povetkin & was impressed. He's certainly is not afarid to unload his right hand!
Pretty much agree with this. Speed is his only chance to get the job done @ HW. And I really don't wanna see him fight Wlad. But it looks like that is what they're shooting for. atsch
Wladimir is probably a worse matchup for Adamek than Vitali. It'd be slaughter. At CW he's got Huck, Hernandez, Lebedev.. all very winnable fights for Adamek.
Teddy has trained 3 Heavyweight Champions of the World. Rooney he is pretty good too. But I think Teddy is a better trainer and fighter than Rooney
I'm not following you here Terry, are you on about Kevin Rooney? Atlas being a better fighter than Rooney? Hell no man.
he should go back to cruiser. he doesnt belong at HW. hes too slow, easy to hit, and has no power at HW
I agree to a degree. He has very good basics but nothing more. How can you possibly not understand that I was pointing out that as a HW he's not in the same class as Holyfield?
It'll help him out in clinches against wladimir atleast. I think when you go up against the k bros you have to focus on body strength, not just your punching strength and technique. Might be the way to go, although i still don't think he stands a chance.
Adamek shares the same problem as every other current HW and that is the fact that there are 2 giants ruling the division.
