    The best light heavyweight version of Adamek vs whatever version of Calzaghe you could best imagine at light heavyweight. Who do you like in this fight?

    Calzaghe UD.

    Adamek's best weight is at CW. Dawson boxed circles around Adamek at LHW and i think Calzaghe would also.

    I'll just point out that I meant the best light heavyweight version of Adamek, if you agree that Adameks best weight is at Cruiserweight then you concede that when he fought Dawson he was no longer his best at light heavy.

    I think Calz could beat him at CW as well. Adamek is not particularly difficult for a guy like Calzaghe to win rounds off, and despite being a pretty big puncher, I'm confident Calzaghe would not get stopped.

    At 175, I fancy a near shut-out.
    At 200, 116-112/117-111,

    Calzaghe would be a tub of lard at CW. Adamek would KO him.

    Calzaghe cruises to an easy UD to much movement and angles for Adamek and the pace would be way to much for him as well.

    Well, then he would be fighting a better version of Adamek that weighs in a solid 200 lbs. And he's probably just as fast at CW. I don't think Calzaghe can takes Adamek's power at CW. Adamek will evantually land something.

    That's a very fair point and I agree that Adamek will land something...I just think that Calz will be able to stand up to the shots personally!!!

    Thing with Adamek is he was a natural LHW until he turned 30 years old and issues with King forced him out of the ring. That is when he started having weight problems.

    I see Adamek KOing Calzaghe (any version) in the mid rounds.
