    Hello fellas. After a long hiatus, I am back!

    Today's poll is an interesting one. In the red corner, weighing in at 199 pounds and undefeated at cruiserweight, the P4P greatest Polish fighter of all time, Tomasz "Goral" Adamek. And in the blue corner weighing in at 198 pounds, the undisputed cruiserweight champion of the world, the fighting pride of Ukraine, Oleksandr "The Cat" Usyk.

    Tomasz Adamek:
    Height: 1.87 m (6 ft 2 in)
    Reach: 191 cm (75 in)
    Stance: Orthodox

    Oleksandr Usyk:
    Height: 1.91 m (6 ft 3 in)
    Reach: 198 cm (78 in)
    Stance: Southpaw

    Who takes this and why?

    Not very interesting at all. Usyk by late stoppage. The Tiger is the greatest Polish fighter ever. Adamek is second.

    I like the Highlander but usyk will give away the first two rounds and then win the next ten handily.

    I think Usyk stops his on his feet, it would be a beatdown.
    Adamek was rather slow on his feet and didn't have the fastest hands, Usyk is all wrong for him

    There was a significant amount of time where I think Adamek was in the 11-20 p4p in the world, and you could justify him maybe breaking into the top ten for a short period of time. I think AJ is still a better fighter p4p than Adamek, but that doesn't necessarily mean styles will be any better or worse for Usyk here. I think Adamek is quite capable of giving a difficult fight to him but very unlikely to win. It might even be more than some tough spots. Could even turn into a classic. But that doesn't make me favour the Pole any more so. Wait-anymore...so. No-any...moreso. I don't know how that's supposed to be written. I've never typed that before. Now that I do, nothing looks right. It's really weird.

    Good fight the Adamek going into the Vitali fight was on a roll. And he always fought razor close bouts with Cunningham whom was another good fighter. Usyk by decision 8-4 9-3 but Adamek would have some nice exchanges.

    Goral was my favorite fighter back in the days when he was a damned good CW. Never should have moved up to HW but that's where the money is.

    Usyk wins a UD, but the Highlanders gives him some issues early on.

    I think Adamek is underrated and overlooked, but kinda hard to pick against Usyk right now at cruiserweight.

    Adamek was actually outboxed by Steve Cunningham in stretches at CW in their fight. He won because he was the stronger, sturdier guy. Against Usyk, he is not the stronger, sturdier guy, nor does he have the ability to outbox Usyk.

    Usyk runs him over to a lopsided decision.

    Adamek was one of my favourite fighters for years and Usyk is my no. 1 at the moment - Usyk via competitive but not too close UD.
