    Let's not push it, Adamek is not a big guy and will never be.

    He filled up his body at CW.

    I'm not knocking on the guy, he's a great fighter and really did try to get nice fights at CW, but when BHop, Roy, Arslam/Jones, Fragomeni, Mormeck started avoiding him and there was no money for a rematch against Cunningham around, he pretty much was forced to move up to HW.

    Heck, even Godfrey and BJ Flores turned down title fights against him, in the end he was left with freaking B. Gunn to fight.

    Yes its Roger. He was training some time with Adamek, because Adamek's trainer Gmitruk was in Poland.

    You're right neither wobbled Valuev at the end, but Chagaev looked much better throughout the fight. He used smart movement, combinations, and made a very good version of Valuev look to be clearly the inferior man. Haye, aside from the last round, just wasn't that convincing, especially since he only average 11-13 punches a round.

    How much higher though? He threw 398 punches against Povetkin, 447 against Peter, maybe he threw 500 against Dimitrenko, but it is not like his activity is that much better. Peter is slower and less skilled than Povetkin, and Dimitrenko is far more timid. If you really want to go out there and say Chambers would beat Povetkin because he beat Dimitrenko then you're ignoring the age old idiom of styles make fights. Dimitrenko, despite being the bigger man, fought like the smaller man, as he has done much of his career. He was timid, didn't establish his jab or right hand, never established distance, and was constantly moving. Povetkin is a much better judge of distance, and is a much more confident fighter. I don't debate that Eddie would do better in a rematch, but I don't think he would win.

    He's prob on legal weight enhancers. Really doubt it's steroids... I also doubt he'd give a **** about taking any kind of test.

    He's just the ****in man.

    I don't think he looks that big ..

    The angle of the shot isn't really a fair depiction of his size to be fair.

    Yah he's def not as big as people think. There were a lot of shots of him with his shirt on pre-golota fight and he was looking massive. Turned out he looked a little soft. But he's definitely a heavy weight

    Yep, its Bloodworth. With Gmitruk and Roger, Tomasz is in the right hands. Just stay the heck away from Buddy. I remember Tomasz with a corny, articificial McGirt inspired defense-first tactic , which didnt work as the fight went on and it was the wrong strategy when fighting Dawson and for Adamek as a fighter. Adamek is an offensive pressure fighter that picks his spots nicely (especially at CW)and he should never adopt anything that diminishes that style or his chance of landing that killer counter right.

    Actually his decision in judging distance is his quite poor because he leaves himself wide open when he's on the attack. Povetkin won fair and square in the first fight, but Chambers didn't look like he fought to win. He didn't establish the jab like he did against Peter and wasn't in shape like he was against Dimitrenko.

    Agreed. Pics can be very misleading. Already in the other pics posted later on, its clear Tomasz is not as big as in the first one. Notice the difference in his forarms especially. But 222lbs sure sounds good to me. He'll likely be in the upper 220's if he faces Arreola. LA venue better hire plenty of police if this fight happens, cause at least half that arena will be filled with rowdy Polish fans invading Mexican turf.

    No not many. Mostly in New York and Illinois. But expect a wild migration.
