Quickly it becomes evident who the biggest fanboy on the site is. 5 posts on the first page? Good job dera...I mean Joeaverage. atsch
Although these two get compared a lot, their styles are not at all thesame, so I dont get this comparison. Since his loss to Calzaghe, Kessler has been dead in the water (like who the **** did he even fight after being slapped around by Calzaghe 2 years ago?) and this super 6 tournament has been his life boat. Lets see if he takes advantage of it. Since his loss to Dawson, Adamek has evolved as a fighter and has taken on top dogs at CW to earn his ring belt. Now, he is chasing to be the top fighter at HW, which is unheard of for a LHW champion and someone who started as a super middleweight in amatuers. So far, both fighters have had adversity but only one fighter has managed to climb out of it and move onto bigger and better things. Adamek is the better fighter.
sure, if you count a single fight against the one opponent that couldnt possibly knock him out. I myself count it, but with some qualifications as Ruiz was a tailor made handpicked opponent and RJ's move to HW was just for show and self marketing. It was really a novelty fight, but all the credit to RJ for that win. Adamek's plans at HW are more permenant.
It's pretty even. Kessler just did it way more convincingly, and hardly losing rounds, while Adamek had some problems winning his.
The difference is he did it more convincingly against a much weaker competition and has been dead in the water for the last 2 years.
