Adamek is nothing special at HW, today's HW scene is a disgrace

    The problem is these guys aren't fighting one another. They are all taking the easy route fighting bums in hopes or landing a title shot. A quick way to fix this is to either organize a tournament or have some sort of minimal criteria that has to be met before getting a title shot (eg., say at least 2-3 wins over top 10 ranked fighters in the last 3 years).

    Hyperbole op but he does have a point Adamek isn't a very good Heavyweight and well all know that he doesn't stand a chance against either of the Klitschko's.

    The Heavyweight division is just depressing Chisora is nowhere near ready for a shot at the title but he might well got one. And you can't look down on it as there really is a complete lack of viable contenders around at the moment for the champs to face. I'm even beginning to look at Haye-Harrison as a decent Heavyweight clash it's just that bad.

    When Adamek doesnt have a chance against either Klitschko, then who really does? Haye and Povetkin probably know that Klitschkos are too good at the moment, so they dont want to fight them in the near future. Aside from Adamek, Haye and Povetkin there arent any fighters who are worth fighting Klitschkos.

    Chagaev, Arreola, Peter, Thompson, Chambers were all beaten by them. Solis doesnt want to fight now, and he is as unproven at HW as Chisora (I mean professional boxing). Valuev has always been a joke and will not fight them too. Boytsow, Helenius, Pulev all too young.

    So to me its Adamek, Haye and Povetkin are good opponents for Klitschkos and it looks like only Adamek has enough balls to face them.

    Adamek may be nothing special at heavyweight but you can say the same for the vast majority of the division. The fact that Jones Jr, Toney and Haye have jumped up and been worthy contenders shows how poor the division is, hell even an old Hopkins thought about jumping up in weight, the division is that poor. No reason why Adamek can't be sucessful at heavyweight, he just has to avoid the Klitschko's as they are clearly superior but everyone else is there to be taken.
