Adamek cant win from the outside and if he wants to fight inside wlad will lean all over his back, usual crap
No bull**** Adamek is definitely a warrior, but beating Wladimir is crazy thinking. Yea he got upset by Brewster and Sanders, but the Wladimir that is fighting now would have put them both to sleep easily without dropping a round. If Adamek fights Wladimir he will try to fight where many others have alreay given up in the stare down, but it won't help him. Wladimir by KO in the middle rounds after he has lumped Adameks face up.
Adamek has the heart of a lion, but Wlad's jabs will break that heart, and the right hand will be the kiss goodnight.
I was just reading some old posts...Marciano would knock WLad out? Come one! Marciano would be a middle weight now! 178-190?! 5'10" he would not be able to compete with Wlad physically...i love Rocky but come one i think we get a little to nastalgic....he was a great boxer in his time...we have to look at the different eras and stop comparing them...Make a time machine send wlad in prime to fight these ATG's he wins or at leasts gives a hell of a fight to most if not all including ali, lewis, and tyson and whoever else...not saying he would be undefeated but definately too big for most and too skilled for others...absurd
To beat Wlad his opponents must have at least two from the following: punch, chin or skills (Sanders had skills and punch, Brewster had chin and good punch) ... there is just a few who might still have the tools: as Vitaly or Haye. Adamek seems to have not much power to hurt Wlad and not much physical advantages to wins just by using skills or cheen but anything can happen. As for Golota based on his physical tools and skills he may easily be on any top 10 HW list while his mental illness does not warrant him top 100 :/
His chances to upset Wlad are slim to none, but still much more realistic than "establishing long reign and being dominant for the next five years". Adamek is 33 already, and his style is not suited for older fighters. Even now, I would favour Haye or even Povetkin against him (not to mention that even if he somehows wins with Wlad, a rematch clause is more than probable).
Peter put up a fight... but only if you forget about rabbit punches. What does Adamek have that could trouble Wlad? His speed and footwork are far from exceptional, so he can't make up for the size advantage with that. His power is average at HW, so even if ocassionally connects it won't shake Wlad badly. And heart, even together with cheen, are not enough (ask Byrd for example).
Come on, Wlad couldn't make a bloody mess out of Barney Rubble. How's he going to make a mess of Tomasz?
