    Adamek's becoming a real quality champion.

    One of the most exciting fighters in the world. But Hopkins is the biggest spoiler in the world and would make it oh so boring. Run, hold, hold and hit, cuff...haven't we seen enough?

    Yes, Hopkins has to do something big now to justify a main event in the post Oscar-Pac beatdown era. As Mosley did with Margarito. But enough is enough. Let's see Adamek in there with guys that trade punches...Cunningham rematch, Wlodarczyk, Victor Ramirez. Adamek has boxing ability, and I hope he can beat Hopkins, but it's not a fight to make Adamek look good. Hope it doesn't happen, and I hope it's nothing but a silly rumour like last time.

    how do you think Adamek would fare at HW?

    he's looked pretty damn good at 200 even, but I think while Tomaz is much quicker the Heavy's would be too powerful for him.

    Plus even though Cunningham lost to Adamek he certainly had his moments .. and if was a bit heavier handed could have pulled off the knockout.

    Hopkins stands at 6'1 and walks around at 200 solid, Hopkins already make weight and I think he would out smart Adamek, Adamek doesn't know how to clinch and doesn't know when and also Adamek is just a slugger he doesn't know have the stuff Hopkins knows in the ring, Hopkins has excellent defense and is not open to getting hit upside the head all day.... Hopkins by a U.D not easily but convincingly!!!

    Hopkins has great stamina, the man has always been in great shape people look at that Calzaghe fight, but Calzaghe has excellent stamina that's what his whole fighting style is based off of, Hopkins I thought beat Calzaghe in a close decision, Hopkins brought Calzaghe down to his pace to even where we see Calzaghe starting to initialize clinches, Hopkins looked young against Kelly Pavlik which people thought Pavlik was going to stop Bernard, anything above Light HEavyweight doesn't require stamina to be great those guys get tired by atleast the 7th round unlike smaller weight classes where they can just swing at each other all day!!!

    If I was Bernards advisor, I would tell him to stay away.

    Adamek, sure.. fundamentally he's not the greatest boxer around, but Hopkins would have to be on his toes all night, Adamek has SPECIAL POWER and a GRANITE CHIN.:smoke
