    Adamek's not a HOFer though he could be one day. It wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility but he's gotta beat a couple more top fighters. Unification wouldn't be a bad idea.

    He's been in some very difficult fights so he's probably not working with a long timeframe. The punishment he's absorbed can catch up to him so I'd say that he's got about 2 years to really get things done. Chronologically, Adamek is 32 but in boxing years he's older. Only the biggest fights make sense. A Cunningham rematch would be a step in the right direction or he could take Fragomeni's title from him. Alexeev's coming up and you still have some solid guys like Enzo and Tokarev in the division. I'm sure a title defense in Poland will sell. Tomasz has options in this deep division. We'll see what he does.

    I dont think so at this stage...he did have a shortish but decent reign at light welter however..two time titlist.

    Also former lineal welterweight champ...To many bad losses though, in this day in age with the world championship status being diluted by all the titles you have to have a more dominant reign then he had, which were both shortlived.

    Myabe in Poland...But I think you have to have the whole package...He's a decent fighter with a decent resume. He has no personality. Just a one look expression on his face. He is boring to talk to. I met him and talked to him at the pre fight press and I would have had a better convo with a tree. I think that is part of the package that you need world wide and not just the polish community. Entertainer=No Good Fighter=yes Skills=average Personality=no
    Just my opinion...

    He possibly is but this is way to earlier in his career to be talking about this.
