    At what? Getting cut up and stopped by almost every decent fighter he faced?

    Add to that:

    -MUCH better resume
    - more versatile, could box better and could slug better

    I would take Quarry on one of his best nights. Quarry was an inconsistent fighter though, and Adamek is very consistent & does well vs fighters his size or smaller.

    Anything can happen in this one, so I am voiting for the draw. I would like to see Adamek vs. Povetkin. The winner here is the clear #3 man in the divison.

    Adamek brings nothing to the table at heavyweight. He can't crack an egg and is as predictable as the calendar. Quarry was much too skilled, had a much better resume at the weight and was quite a bit more talented.

    Quarry is simply a better fighter ,maybe he wins by a late TKO but i have voted for a decision win

    Id really have to favor Quarry with the outside chance that maybe he loses on cuts

    i suppose the loss on cuts is a great possibility

    i just dont think Adamek has the pop to get Quarry in trouble and i dont know if he can take Quarrys arsenal

    This is a really tough call. Assuming both fought their best, it's a pick 'em fight. I might lean towards Quarry, because of his vastly superior strength, durability, aggression, tenacity, and punching power. Keep in mind that a prime Quarry was not slow of foot, and had hand speed not much less than Adamek's.

    The only reason I don't go with Quarry outright is because I know he would have had trouble (huge trouble) with Adamek's speedster hit-and-run style.
