Is Adamek one of the best wins on Vitali's resume?

That being said, I think Vitali has beaten 3 legitimate top 3 contenders, and they are Peter, Adamek, and Sanders. So from the perspective of the opponent's accomplishment level, clearly I think he's got to be one of the top 3. But I think in terms of actual subjective quality of the opponent...probably not. Adamek only got to the point of being ranked that high by cherry picking his opponents. By the time he fought Vitali, Adamek's abilities as a heavyweight probably were barely top-10 level, in my opinion.

I remember many people saying Adamek would be the guy to solve the Klitschko riddle. To just get in there and let the hands go because that's supposedly what everyone else failed to do. And, once again, that myth was dispelled. What a brutal beating that was. Vitali looked like he wasn't even enjoying it.

Nobody else has even looked like stopping Adamek in his 50 fight career, so of course it's a good win.

??
Are you suggesting that 40 year old Vitali was on PEDs? I know he has a history of steroid use but he wouldn't need them to beat Adamek.

I haven't seen the Cunningham fight, but after his fight with Chambers and now this, I think it is fair to say Adamek is done. This shouldn't be shocking. Many fighters are done by age 36. Although Adamek was 34 or 35 when he fought Vitali, I still think it is 1 of Vitali's biggest wins because VK was 40 at the time.
Didn't see the Rahman fight but someone said Rahman won, so idk about that.
