Hypothetically speaking, if Tomasz Adamek wins the HW title, is he HOF worthy?

    The fight was described by some as one of the most brutal in recent memory, as Briggs suffered a large cut above his left eye early in the fight and Adamek bled profusely from his nose for much of the fight as well. Adamek tended to be the aggressor and won the fight. - WIKIPEDIA

    The Warrior that is Adamek went into that fight with a already broken nose. He describes it as his toughest fight still.

    Doesn't surprise me that Adamek was getting his nose busted up in sparring by some novices. He doesn't belong in the hall way of his own house, let alone the hall of fame.

    Adamek is a bit unlucky that there is 3 amazing champs now in K2 and Povetkin. If he had of come to HW during the Valuev era he likely would already be a 3 weight champion.

    :lol:

    Nah. We all know why Adamek waited for Haye to vacate his CW titles before making a go of it in the division.

    We did this poll 2 years ago. Look at some of the other HOF inductees.

    He's already in the Hall of Fame.

    You're most likely right. Two weight world champ, stepped up into a division he's not built for and had a crack at it.

    You don't hold it against someone for not holding the HW title when the Klis at about, and the other belts are worthless except as a bargaining chip against the Klits.

    Povetkin kills Valuev quite easily. Let's be totally honest here. Povetkin beats Vitali now too.
