    heck no, if he has a long run undefeated at Cruiserweight champ then Maybe, but now no way

    He could get there, but I think he would need to have a long reign at cruiser, or move up and grab a belt at heavyweight. Either way, he would still need to have suitable enough opposition, but based on his choice of fights up to this point, I doubt he's shying away from anyone.

    They pretty much do. HOF standards for boxing are easily the weakest of any sport.

    Thats because you're American. He has tons of great personality.

    Adamek isnt a HOFer yet. But I think he will be if he continues this great resume of wins.


    Briggs I
    Briggs II
    Ulrich in Germany
    Bell
    Cunningham

    Those are good opponents.....

    If he gets a few more wins over top contenders in CW division he could be a HOFer in the future. Talking about Tomasz in the HOF is to early... he still has a full career in boxing.

    If anything, you should of made a topic about fighters who have retired recently. Dariusz Michalczewski or so.

    All this Gatti talk in HOF is bull**** too.

    Thats why i hate Gatti fans. I make a poll once on ESB and asked them if Virgil Hill is a HOFer and some posters say no, yet some of those people say yes to Gatti joining the HOF, LOL... Thats a joke within itself tbh.

    Virgil is legend.

    His fan base is just the Polish people you moron. You want to start personal attacks your barking up the wrong tree IDIOT! You'll loose that battle. If he had some sort of personality that goes with his average skills where it would draw the attention of the world and not just Polish people maybe people would have a different view. Nothing was said about Steve's accomplishments:twisted::deal.

    IMO anyone who voted "no" instead of "maybe in the future" is an idiot or a hater. And that's a lot of people, including some otherwise solid, reasonable posters..

    Even if you think it's unlikely that he goes on a long run against the best at CW, but that he could, that should still count as poll option #3.

    That's what I am saying:good If he worked on his PR stuff and came across different to the American/Other countries people would open their eyes. Guess what all the crap that Haye pulls off people talk about. Then they watch his fights, and he is a good fighter.

    Right now Adamek seem to be a decent fighter with a lot more to prove and he probably can....I wish him the best. But needs to work on his.....well as PolishPummler said it "Language barrier"

    Well said.

    His career is not over. The discussion is, for now.

    Im sure if he worked a little bit on it, he could get more and more followers imo.

    But at this point he will always sell out crowds in the Newark, Chicago, and NYC areas due to the big Polish communities. ^^
