A bit of hyperbole from Dwyer, but lot's of legit points that are well articulated as well. Many of his preds don't pan out bc he likes to bet against the bank, when he sees a sliver of hope. High hopes for Adamek's current campaign: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fs8FpFax-nc&feature=sub[/ame]

Although Adamek is a great boxer, he still takes a punch to give some. He walked through a lot of Cunningham's punches to land his shots. If Cunningham had more pop in his punches, he would of won that fight. Adamek will always have problems with very good boxers like Chad Dawson, Steven Cunningham, Wladimir Klitschko, Vitali Klitschko, and Eddie Chambers.
I agree with this guy that Adamek is a great counterpuncher :good The guy has the same opinion about Adamek, what I have.
Although, at this point, I'm not prepared to say that Adamek can beat either of the Klitschkos, theoretically, Adamek has assets that will come in very handy in a potential Klit fight. As we all know, to have a chance of winning over Wlad, you must find a way to neutralize his reach advantage, that he is so good at protecting. To do this, you have to be able and willing to absorb punches in the process of closing the reach distance, because Wlad is just very accurate at fending off people who try to intrude his space . If Adamek's beard is HW grade (which we will see if he faces Arreola) he can be the man to neutralize Wlad's reach advantage. I believe he has enough will and courage to try to do this on a consistent basis with Wlad and in the process take the required punishment (this is something that I do not think Haye will be able to do, because his chin is a definite liability). Once he can establish a closer distance, Adamek's great and sneaky counter right can floor anyone in the division, including Klitschko. If Adamek KO's Estrada and beats Arreola, I think he becomes the biggest threat Wlad has faced as a champ.
He always had a soft spot for Golota and never imagined Adamek would be able to take his power and speed to the HW. Plus, Adamek was a favorite and Dwyer likes to bet against them. That fight totally changed his views on TA as a HW.
