    I think he is just despite Solis having massive potential that he might still achieve if he can get over his injury. I still think it's close between the two.
    Solis going into his fight with Vitali really did have all the tools to possibly beat Vitali and become another World class heavyweight.

    Solis was a out of shaped bum with a glass chin.

    Adamek is in the best shape of his life and has a granted cheen.

    I think a healthy Solis posed a greater threat to Vitali than Adamek will tomorrow night

    And what has a healty Solis been able to do? Defeat Ray Austin? Bottom line is Solis cannot control how much he eats and as a result cannot even prepare properly for a fight at the elite level. Those questions don´t even exist when it comes to Adamek.

    Adamek is by far the better overall fighter. Speed, ring generalship, defense, handspeed, footwork(obviously since one shot singlehandedly broke Solis' KANKLES).

    But.........Solis is a natural HW, has a better chin, more power, and probably better punch resistance. Not saying he's shannon briggs in that matter, but I think he could sustain more hard shots from Vitali than Adamek could.

    But, I guarantee, Adamek makes it past 4 rounds, based simply off his superior ability to maintain distance while at the same time being able to be effective offensively, something Solis could not even come close to doing in that one round before he turned his KANKLES and twisted his knee when Vitali buckled him with that short L hook.

    Solis easily

    he may have been out of shape but he was still faster and hit harder than adamka.

    that punch to the temple would send adamka to the grave.

    Ray Austin is better than Kevin Mcbride whom adamka went the distance with.

    there are no heavyweights right now that can compete with the klitschko's.

    I say no. Solis is a naturally bigger (including reach), has better defense, better handspeed, and I'd say better power. I'm not going to say that Solis would have won had it not been for the injury but I did get the sense that it would be competitive and I don't get that sense going into this fight.

    Adamek. My bet he lasts more than a round. His achievements have been far greater. Maybe after this fight Solis should take on Adamek. :bbb
