As an Adamek fan. I do not and never did.
He looked like garbage vs. Michael Effin Grant!!! Let that sink in.
He was rocked hard a few times. Not impressed at all with that performance.
So do the Adamek fans still think the 4th best heavyweight in boxing deserves to be on the P4P List?
As a fan of the guy hes a Wlad, Haye or Vitali right hand away from being out cold.
This is just stupid, it's like saying for example Marquez at 135 moving up to super middleweight and fighting (and beating) a C class Super Middleweight like Brian Magee in a tough fight.
I'd give him a hell of alot of credit if he did that even if it is Brain Magee.
I wouldn't argue against him being on the list, he looked fine last night and gave Grant a boxing lesson for the most part.
But he was supposed to. Grant is a C level or worse heavyweight at this point.
he started at freakin LHW
Exactly...and people act like he is a bum HW. Dude is always gonna be outsized at heavy but he is bringing in a fresh face and a ton of heart. What he lacks in power, he makes up for in boxing skill.....imagine, lhw champ, cruiser champ, and hw champ...would he be worthy of p4p status then?
I just cant see saying a guy is top 10 p4p when two guys in the class he is currently fighting at would put him to sleep in a couple of rounds. One of them may only need a jab. Adamek struggled with Grants slow as jab and slow as clumbsy punches. Wlad or Vitali would toy with him. And I like Adamek, but he showed last night that he cant beat a tall heavyweight with a hard jab and long reach that isnt 10 years past his prime.
I don't have heavyweights on my p4p lists, and I don't think they should be put there
If you're gonna throw Adamek on on a top 10 p4p list....then the Klit' brothers deserve to be in the top 5
i never understood this why shouldnt heavies be on a pound for pound list
Crazy that people are using his ranking at HW to decide whether he belongs on a P4P list. Hes not a legit HW which is what would earn the ranking in the first place. Add to that that P4P is completely fictional and you should see it really doesnt matter.
I was skeptical about putting him in there all along. I'm against putting Cruiserweights in the top ten P4P that now compete at Heavyweight more than actual Heavyweights themselves. Adamek is a way better fighter than Grant, but the size difference can make up for that somewhat. Imagine if Grant would've some how beat Adamek. Do you view Grant as a top ten P4P fighter? I don't. If he would've stayed at Cruiserweight I'd be more inclined to put him top ten P4P. Sad way of looking at it, but it's just the way I feel. Overall though, Adamek is a really good fighter though and I take nothing away from him. He's just simply undersized. He would spark that pussy Haye though.
I can understand Adamek being on the p4p list because of his division climbing, but I could also argue that he has taken advantage of a weak heavyweight division to this point.
He steps in the ring with Wlad or Vitali, he gets killed.
Exactly, Adamek is higher than Wlad P4P IMO, Adamek is much more skilled than Wlad and would kick his ass if there wasn't a massive weight difference.
True. He is P4P top 15 right now, or at minumum top 20.
Adamek is 42-1, former Light Heavyweight Champ, Cruiserweight champ, and is 4-0 as a Heavyweight, he just beat a man who weighs like 44 pounds more than him. He beat guys like Cunningham(although disputed), Bell, Briggs etc.
If you look at his skills, strong chin, ability to land combos, and ring smarts he is P4p.
P4P wise, he's the most deserving heavyweight at the moment. Seeing as he's come from LHW to HW, picking up belts along the way.
hell most be frozen over 'cause I'm agreeing with Demise...
Well I don't think it's fair making the comparison, fighters in the lower weights don't fight people at 250-260lbs who are 20-40lb heavier.
Grant is an average HW but how many fighters if they moved up 40lbs in weight would lose to an average fighter at that weight?

Why would anyone want to rate him in the top 10 at the moment? Even Wlad has just recently scraped in, Adamek would get there in time after beating better competition.

he's good,he's new to the divison he's shown heart and will to win..he should work on his punching power.
the division is run by the klitschko brothers everyone knows that but thanks to adamek,rahman and chagaev we still got some fighters left in the division..and maybe one day if someone lifts the stone up haye will come out crawling and face one of the brothers..haye is a real coward ..adamek has shown that he can take a punch something we cant say about gaye.
Family, friend or management of Hasim?
