He could easily make cruiser. He just has to train. Jetski, I know you're a proud pole, but adamek is no heavy. He needs to stay at cruiserweight. There isn't anything that he could win at heavy that is more significant than dominating the CW division. I'm not sure he could beat cunningham in a rematch, and i'm 100% positive he can't beat either klitschko.
How I would love to see Tua vs a in reality a Criuser who a lil while ago was a light heavy the Horror please let it happen so I can have another highlight reel KO to go with Mercer vs Morrison and Gatti vs Gamache.
I wish he'd go back to cruiser and fight Guillermo Jones. That would be a great fight. Unfortunately its not likely now that he got a taste of the money with the big boys. Adamek didn't do much to convince me he should stick around, his punches seemed to have little effect despite landing nearly everything he threw, Golota got pinged with a 20 punch combination and could still have continued if the ref didn't make a compassionate stoppage. He should at the least fight a few smaller guys. Tua, Wlad, Vitali are complete madness at this stage.
I understand you saying Wlad and Vitali, but Tua? :huh I actually think Adamek has all the tools necessary to beat Tua. I know I'm in the minority here, but I stated such after Tua's impressive win against Cameron.
Not yet. He's never been been punched by a heavyweight yet and you want to throw him in with Tua? There is only so long he can move about the ring and do an O'Neil Bell type performance before he comes under heavy fire from Tua. If he's going to stay at heavyweight he should do it the right way and build himself up. Tonights fight was a circus act from round 1 to its ending, its hard to draw conclusions from that.
Fair enough. He SHOULD try to build himself up, but I still maintain Tua is the type of opponent he can look very good against. Tua is still a slow plodder who is easily reset by a decent jab. Adamek has a very good jab. I can see him beating Tua in lopsided fashion. Tua looked good for a round and a half against Cameron, but I'm not convinced that he wouldn't have reverted to old form had that fight gone on a bit longer without Cameron getting caught. Adamek might not beat Tua. He could get caught and crushed, but he has all the right tools to beat Tua.
I doubt it, personally. I just don't think he's strong enough or has enough movement or power in his power punches or his jab to worry Tua. What's he going to do run all night and potshot? That's not what Adamek is about. Stand and trade? He'll get murdered. Anything inbetween he'll get murdered too. It's all very well Lennox Lewis's jab resetting him but Adamek's is powder puff in comparison. If he has a chin of iron he might last but Tua will push him back and get a decision provided his stamina is still there. If not he'll get KO'd. Regardless, he needs to fight some live opponents, get used to the punch power, work out how he wants to fight at heavyweight and also give his body time to grow into the weight. Tonights fight might as well not have happened, I'm not trying to be harsh on purpose but nothing was to be learnt tonight because Golota was just a punching bag. A heavy one. It was good for the bank balance I guess.
Pretty good list other than the couple retired guys you have on there (I don't thing he serves himself punching out retired guys; effectively, he just did that). Let me add: Ray Austin Manuel Quezada Oquendo (everybody's favourite semi-legit name these days) Holyfield Would Audley fight him? Nah, probably not. Damn.
I thought Danny announced he wasn't retired? Could be wrong, though. Yeah, good additions. Especially Holyfield.
He could beat Haye. His power seems to be carrying up almost as well, and his chin is s hell of a lot better. Its no accident that Haye has only foguht two heavies, and no punchers at that weight.
But he still keeps CW Ring belt and his weight is not much above 200lb so I guess Adamek wants to stay in between for a some time depending on who is on the radar for a bigger payday.
