well as a fan i agree with you that he should fight in cruise,and we would probably have a champion,and some exiting fights instead mcbride. but it was his choice.
What's that worth, though? All it really means is some people will mention him in a better light wen he's retired, not really a big deal at all. If it were me, I would do the same thing and go to heavyweight to make much more money.
We'll never get to see it though, because Adamek will exclusively fight cherrypicked bums, on the way to a hopelessly-mismatched titleshot against Wlad. :yep
And Huck would be one of those cherry picked bums. I'm still amazed that caveman made it as far as he did.
a.dunno if you know this story...Adamek was sparing with Huck already...got pissed because Huck kept fouling him during sparing...roger was telling this story http://sport.wp.pl/kat,1878,title,A...o-on-dostal-lomot,wid,14136812,wiadomosc.html source....well acording to adamek and roger-marco got blasted in sparing....but who know
The weight could help him if he uses it right. If he's able to keep his speed and stamina, while increasing strenght I don't think he would be less effective at HW, if anything it could help him handle the size of todays HWs and be in a better position to land his shots.
and that is because he was so many times down fighting only the feather fisted competition :good .... it is no comparison to David Haye for example who was never ever down even the heavy puncher as Barrett couldn't drop him an inch :deal
