Adamek is leagues better than Povetkin. You don't know much about boxing.
Those huge wins over Kevin McBride, Michael Grant and Andrew Golota prove it.
He did beat Chris Arreola, I'll give him that. But it's likely we will never see him fight again after next week.
Povetkin although that will change very suddenly if he takes the route of fighting Holyfield and Rahman. He has wins over two top 10 ranked heavyweights and is currently undefeated.
At this very moment, I'd say the third-best heavyweight is Helenius. Not only is he the most dangerous contender, he's arguably beaten better heavyweights than Tomasz Adamek has. (Although, Adamek has faced better quality opposition over three divisions.)
Head-to-head, I would take Helenius over Adamek right now, as well.
So I voted for Helenius.
I'd love to see Adamek fight Povetkin. That's a toss-up.
Helenius or Povetkin.
I would say Adamek but in a couple weeks he wont be in the picture anymore.
David Haye and Solis shamed themselves against the Klitschkos and didnt earn another chance given their effort.
Holyfield is still my favourite of the bunch though.
Boytsov needs to recover from his surgeries and get to top 20 already. He's got potential, he just needs to be more active against better opposition. As of now though, Chambers is 3rd.
Boytsov is a beast. He's a tough guy, has very fast hands, good technique and explosive knockout power in both hands. Hopefully he can recover from his hand injuries.
