    In their primes, light heavyweight.

    Don't think I've seen this one done on here before. :think

    great match up of the two polish dudes,,,

    really liked both of them, I would maybe pick Tomasz, however, I would bet it would most of all be a great long battle where both dudes had their moments.

    Personally I've always felt Tomasz was prime at cruiser. Anyway I'd take Tomasz.

    Two Polish warriors that I liked a lot. I'm not really sure if Tomasz would have beaten Dariusz though,...got to ponder this one.

    Adamek is overrated as Hell at 175. He went life and death twice with a plodding scrub in Paul Briggs. Lost the rematch to Briggs IMO.

    DM was a cut above and would win pretty easily.

    Good exciting fight but I sure don't see that Adamek defense coping with that jab. Or the extremely accurate follow up shots Dariusz threw. He'd get badly outlanded and lose the rounds & that only leaves him the possibility of a ko stoppage. And I don't see that & DM knew how to fight busted up so that does not help his cause either.

    I think it goes like the Barber fight with one way action with one guy pitching and one guy doing the catching. And taking a licking round after round while hanging tough.

    Michalczewski by SD or UD in a very close competitive match.

    DM by stoppage. I really like Adamek, but he is very hittable.
    DM has the power to knock everyone out.

    Adamek would outwork him and win a 12 round hardfought decision.

    Just want to point out that Briggs fought his guts out and was almost custom-made by intelligent design to be a perfect foil to Adamek. Sort of the Ward to his Gatti (although I think Ward is a much better fighter in his own right, outside the Gatti rivalry, than Briggs is outside the Adamek rivalry).

    I don't hold those fights against him too much, personally. I mean, he did ultimately go 2-0 in them anyway.. over someone that was (on both occasions) ranked the #1 contender and WBC mandatory challenger at light heavyweight.

    And I'd like to point out that Paul Briggs was five levels below DM.

    Adamek is extremely overrated. We're talking about a guy who got comprehensively schooled by Chad Dawson.

    People act like Adamek was some quality technician, but really he was just a tough fight with a s****py style.

    DM was a much better offensive technician, and would outclass Adamek the same way he outclassed Hill.
