    his walking around weight is around 190lb to 200lb, if he weighed in around 190lb he would be in okayish shape

    I think Adamek might have a little trouble, but Paul Briggs would KO Calzaghe for sure :deal

    Adamek is prime unlike Roy and BHOP.

    Adamek is bigger than all of his opponents to date.

    Adamek knows how to deliver his power unlike Lacy.

    Adamek eats Joe's mesquito punches for a mignight snack.

    Adamek puts Joe down he aint gettin" up.

    Calzaghe UD obviously, the gulf in skill is quite large.

    Calzaghe has a good chance of making it to the final bell against Adamek at 175, and might even have a chance of beating him at 175, but people need to remember, 175 is hardly Calzahghe's best weight, either.

    I think the best performance of Calzaghe's career WAS against Hopkins, but he was still past his best when this fight happened.

    Let's remember, Hopkins (who doesn't carry a big punch) dropped Joe in the first round. Jones (who is totally shot) managed to drop and hurt him in the first round.

    If those guys could both floor a reckless slap-happy Calzaghe, Adamek can, too, and Adamek would have a much better chance of finishing him.

    At 175 -- Adamek UD
    At 190 or higher -- Adamek KO

    Bolded bit is ludicrous!!! How Adamek could ever win a UD against Joe is beyond me?!?!?!?! Adamek HAS to KO Joe to win, and I know he wouldn't at 175, and don't think he would at 200!!

    How can he beat him by UD? Several possibilities:

    1. Joe respects his power after being hurt early and throws much less we are accustomed to seeing
    2. Joe gets floored a few times like Cunningham did, and is able to make it to the final bell.
    3. Adamek's underrated boxing skills bring about unforeseen problems for Joe in this unique clash of styles
    4. Any combination of the above

    I'm giving Calzaghe credit in this scenario. I think he is good enough to make it to the final bell at 175.
