    Yeah, that sounds more proper. However considering his posts about Adamek, he possibly doesnt watch Adamek's fights carefully too :lol:

    Adamek has a gigantic pair and is more entertaining than the ukrainian mechagodzillas but yeah, he'd get his ass whupped by quite a few 2nd tier fighters from the 90's, IMO.

    Adamek is still developing as a HW ... people have no patience at all these days. He'd taken on some big (literally) challenges in Arreola and Grant and while he had some rough moments, he's gotten through them.

    That experience will serve him well when he does fight for a title.

    The division is the worst state its been in for years. Actually with Adamek and Haye now there under the Klitschko brothers then the division is better than it was the last few years. But the depth is still shockingly poor.

    It is weak, but that is more the norm than the exception if you look at the HW division throughout history. Wlad should do a "Bum Of The Month Club" a la Joe Louis and start knocking people off monthly. Totally clean out the division.

    Povetkin, Chagaev, Chambers, Boytsov, Solis, Helenius, Pulev... it has good depth too. It's better than it has been for a decade.

    :verysadNot if you listen to the Klitschko haters. They think these guys are all bums that Chucky Wepner could KO.

    It gets me how so many people on this forum love to bash Adamek. For God knows what reason, he barely ever says anything. All he does is fight. He does it frequently. He is exciting. He never ducked anybody.

    I just don't get it, but w/e.

    I really don't think TA gets alot of bashing around here. Most people here who are educated boxing fans show Adamek the respect he deserves, & thats a good thing. Its only a very small percentage of dopes or haters that give Tomasz the business.

    Adamek is everything a fighter should be. People who hate on him are the types who hate on anything and anybody because their own lives are so miserable.

    Adamek is a good fighter and in a different age he could have been a heavyweight champion. But boxing is all about matchup, and I don't see him matching up well with any of the current beltholder. Wlad would give him a brutal beating. Vitali probably still has enough left in the tank to coast to a decision. And Haye may be a bit craven where the Klitschkos are concerned, but he has the talent to easily outbox Adamek. But my point about matchups is that other, supposidely stronger eras had fighters that Adamek could have easily beaten, in my humble opinion. For instance, when Lewis was dominant, I think Adamek probably would have beaten Christ Byrd or Ruiz to take their belts. But right now, I don't see it.

    No he does not. He has worse stamina, worse workrate, worse technique. Haye's chance to win this potential match-up would be ko and only ko.
