    I have just been thinking and this is a hard one to pick. Who would you all pick?

    It took a 6'7 250 lb. man to stop Adamek. Guy has one of the best chins of all time. He also has iron fists. I don't see Stevenson being able to KO him or outbox him for 12 rounds.

    I think the fight would be very competitive, but I'd take Adamek by a later round stoppage.

    I have added a poll now guys. Stevenson has beyter footwork, hand speed and power for me but as mentioned Adamek's chin was as tough as they come, was probably fitter and would keep pressing Stevenson for the whole fight which he didn't like from Fonfora.

    Looks similar to Banks/Adamek. I won't compare it to Cunningham/Adamek because Cunningham is far more classically skilled than Stevenson. Stevenson does to many things wrong, I don't like he he throws his left hand.

    Stevenson would be wishing he was back forcing under age girls into prostitution after 8 rounds with a guy like Adamek. Tomasz was far too hard a man and well rounded a fighter to lose to a fighter like Stevenson.

    Adamek by TKO. (important distinction - Adamek isn't going to one-shot him, but he will put more leather on him than Stevenson can handle - and will be able to stand up to Stevenson's best along the way...though he may need to climb off the canvas)

    Well in the end Dawson out pointed Adamek, who is a very fast south paw like Stevenson but without the power but of course one thing a peak Dawson had was great stamina he could go at a fast pace for 12.

    The move down to 168lbs ruined him in my oopinion.
