He gained a good reputation in cruiserweight and moved up to heavyweight and fought a bunch of bums with 1 good match with a guy that was a total fatass and had a broken hand. and then he fought vitali. A guy who carried him for 10 rounds.
No. He was never really a heavyweight to begin with, but he's had several solid wins in several divisions. He was the lineal cruiserweight champ after putting on two classic fights at LHW and having a long streak of defenses there (albeit not the greatest defenses ever). And he beat a top 10 heavyweight fair and square on his way up to a title shot. So no, he wasn't a fraud at all. In an era where heavyweights were smaller, he would have done just fine, but everyone knew he had no shot against the Klitschkos.
Not at all. Adamek knows how to box and he's having a really good career over 3 divisions. His run at heavyweight ended badly, but there's no shame to that. You've got to respect guys like that.
If you even remotely entertain the idea of him being the "biggest fraud ever" you don't know **** about boxing.
Also remember this man never blew hot air. He never promised to clean out the division. He just kept his head down and got to work and used what had to the best of his ability.
how is he a fraud for stepping up to take on the best heavyweight? his heavyweight campeign blows but doesn't make him a fraud.
the biggest fraud is the one who portraided himself as the savior of the HW division, who called out the Klitchkos for 3 years, then come figh-time, ran like a scared bunny for 12 rounds for fear of being KO'd, Adamek's achieved even more than was expected of him at HW, someone who 4 years ago was a LWH, he has nothing to be ashamed of, he knew himself he had no chance against a K-bro, but still went out proud and went down fighting like a warrior, I agree that he never should of went up to HW, should of stayed at CW and continue fighting guys he had a good chance of beating
come on the guy is a cruiserweight who was ranked #3 at heavy when he fought Big V. If adameck is a fraud this current era of heavyweight boxing is a fraud . . . wait . . . you are right!
you mean he did not get better over 15 years:think . . . bubby shows his level of intelligence in every post!:deal
