    I think he can beat Vitali, but Wlad will throw him a terrible beating.

    The fact is Wlad is unbeatable nowadays...
    but Adamek has chances against Vitali.

    Maybe he can actually beat Vitali, wouldn't be surprised, Vitali is no longer even near his prime + he's getting really old.

    You have to admit, Vitali has got to be one of the most in shape 39 year olds in the world.

    I think Vitali at 45 can still handle this Adamek, probably easily.

    The KO bro's have too much of an advantage in size and skill against this era's crop of heavies.

    This is very strange, because huge fighters at HW, who has size to compete against Klitschkos dont have speed and skills, while smaller guys even if they have speed and skills (Adamek, Povetkin, Haye, Chambers) are too small to compete against Klitschkos.

    I think that the size difference between Adamek and Klitschkos can be cmopared to size difference between welterweight division and SMW. Adamek is 30 pounds lighter than bros, while welters are 21 pounds lighter than SMW. Can a welterweight beat a SMW? :huh I think that its hardly possible

    I give him an outside chance. Vitali is getting up there up in age, and Wlad will always have the weak chin. It probably won't happen though. Full credit to Adamek though, came up from 175lbs to Cruiser, and now he has legitimately earned a shot at a heavyweight title.

    I dont talk about formers. I talk about a welterweight (lets say Pac or Floyd or Mosley at their peaks) fighting at 147 against a top SMW (Kessler, Froch, Bute, Ward) who is 168.

    Interesting comparison. I think that this is possible, but the chance is very small. The only small guy who knew how to fight bigger skilled guys (Bowe, Lewis) was Holyfield, and Adamek isnt Holyfield.

    Hell no...vitali makes him look like a little kid and wlad schools him

    TECHNICALLY AND PHYSICALLY BOTH KLITSCHKOS HOLD ABOUT EVERY ADVANTAGE.. ADAMEK IS UNDERSIZED AT HW

    Adamek would destroy Haye, but has zero shot against either K.

    He isn't a real HW and has no chance against either.

    He doesn't have the power to destroy Haye.
