Adamek earned his shot at the title, unlike so many others........................Adamek is no fraud.................
I love Adamek. He's coming back too to **** people up. He beat Arreola,KO'd tough Maddalone, beat huge power punching Grant who had one of the best KO's of 2011,fat Irish bum McBride and KO'd ATG Idiot Golota. Adamek beat better guys then Mormeck and Arreola. I think Adamek would beat the **** out of Dimitrenko.
Fraud? no. He was punching above his weight, when was the last time a light heavyweight went up to heavyweight and fought the legitimate heavyweight champion? at least he gave it a try, lord knows Jones didnt have the balls to fight lewis
There is money at cruiser though its less rewarding than heavyweight. Wlod got a big purse fighting danny green & sauerland have done big shows featuring cruisers as the main attraction.
I was thinking in terms of the Valuev Haye debacle, or the Harrison Haye debacle, but for me, the biggest Fruad of our generation is the Fraud himself, Fruadley Harrison. Touted as the heir to Lewis' throne, he started 19-0 vs UK level HWs. Then he finally steps into the Bclass and loses consecutive fights.:rofl I still followed him thinking his L's were flukes, but I think we all know who the biggest Fraudley of AT is.:yep
That's what Im talking about. I'm a HUGE Adamek fan, but when he moved up to Heavy, I knew his days were numbered. I was completely surprised he was able to hang with Arreola and Grant the way he did. And I always thought his best chance at being a titlist was to get Haye. But obviously, that's not the $$$$ fight compared to a K2 for either of them. He's what, 34. He SHOULD get his ass into shape and get back down to CW and recapture his glory @ his natural weight. UD Ledbedev UD Tarver KO Cunningham/Hernandez Then unify and become undisputed before his 36th Bday. It's very doable and with his experience and drive, I think he could maintain his standing at CW until he's pushing 40. His name will make him money, and if he were to sign with Suaerland or even K2, he could get his fights on a bigger stage and prolly clear about 100K/fight.
He fought bums until his title shot, then **** himself after being wobbled by a Vitali jab. Not great form, but the man just isn't a heavyweight.
He'd be making a lot more than that & CW was created for guys like Adamek. 34 isnt that old these days, I'd much rather see him fighting Lebedev, Cunningham & Hernandez than someone like Sosnowski.
He could def take over that division. Sad that a slightly larger stack of dough keeps him from cementing his legacy.:-(
He could go back to cruiser & for his 1st fight take on Wlod in Poland then fight Lebedev or Hernandez. Why would he want to be a contender who wont win a title at heavy when he could be a very good champion at cruiser? There are plenty of good fights for him at CW which will all be more entertaining than watching him against another overweight heavy.
Hell no far from it. Adamek was a quality operator at the lower weights but he's not a HW. Dumb thread.
