    Is Adamek the most featherfisted top HW contender ever? I mean, McBride went 12 rounds only once in his career...

    He doesn't need to knock them out, he just punishes them! ...............

    Its not that he's featherfisted thats not it. he's really to small to be in the divison to begin with at Lt Hw and CW he had power and at hw he just doesnt have the pop he wants had. so he's become more of a boxer and while he not going to beat the uber elite's like the Klitschko's, Haye's or Pulev he could beat Povetkin, Ruslan, etc and be a top 5 hw there's really no shame in being a top 5 hw and no matter if he never beats a truly elite hw he's still had a very good career

    6'3, 225 is now too small? Look at guys like Haye or Boytsov.
    The funny thing is that Adamek probably won't knock out Walker, while his K.o. victim Johnathon Banks managed to do it.

    225 is too much for Adamek, he should be around 215, that's his best weight as a heavy

    he's not 6'3, he's a bit above 6'1

    He barely looked smaller than Arreola. Adamek is clearly taller than advertised like Chad Dawson and Paul Williams.

    If Adamek is the most feather fisted what does that make Tyson Fury?

    Adamek actually dropped Maddalone with flush punches, while Fury was acting like he had David Tua in there.

    A notorious arm puncher. Fury shook Chisora a couple of times so he's clearly not featherfisted unlike Adamek.

    I don't think he has the frame of a natural heavyweight. He might have the weight in extra muscle but he still fights at a disadvantage in my eyes. I like and respect Adamek but as a fan I'd much prefer him to be fighting at cruiser. I'd like to see a good cruiser hang around the division for once- as soon as anybody is worth watching they move up to HW :-(

    And Adamek shook Arreola a couple of times.

    The award goes to Fury for his pathetic inability to remove Maddalone from his feet despite clobbering his jaw with haymakers.

    Never seen a man so big, hit like a girl. The man is a digrace!

    I heavily doubt Adamek hits harder than Fury. If you can't get McBride out of there you sure have zero power. Can you see McBride going 12 with Fury?

    So you are now resulting to hypothetical match ups to cover up Fury's inferiority to Adamek's punching.

    I don't have to result to hypothetical match ups, Fury couldn't move a guy that Adamek put on his ass.

    We have a winner, TYSON "HANDS OF PILLOWS" FURY!
