Tomasz Adamek-Joe Calzaghe

[Jim_Davis]

Calzaghe just wants to make some $$$$ before he retires. He's not looking for these nobodies. He is looking to fight the Taylor's and the Hopkins' of the divisions.

Zagee would outbox Adamek, styles make fights and Adamek does nothing better than Calzaghe except hit harder, this is not a close fight at all.

I'm predicting Adamek to KO Dawson though.

[Shanus]

Again your underestimating the boxing skills of Adamek. For his size he has very fast hands and an extremely polished jab. His ring craft is excellent also.
Would be a good fight and certainly not the walkover you make it out to be.

He has a strong Kessler-type of jab, but it's not fast and neither are his fists.

He reminds me alot of Vitali Tsypko, except he hits harder.

at the end of the day calzaghe will never step up and fight adamek who is class

If fighters got credit for taking on the toughest challenges, Calzaghe's best option would be to fight Kessler, and then maybe Adamek. Either fighter wouldn't get him the name-brand recognition of a Hopkins, a Taylor or even an over the hill Roy Jones Jr. Unfortunately sometimes boxing is more about names than challenge.

But you think every ****er that isn't on Calzaghe's hit list is class.

Adamek is better than Hopkins in my opinion, but Calzaghe will make more money and get more credit for fighting Hopkins than Adamek.

If Calzaghe beats Adamek, people will say he's overrated just like they did Lacy, same would happen if he beats Kessler.

But if he beat Hopkins, there would be no excuses at all considering how well he performed against Tarver.

they would just say that it was an "old" hopkins though and that hopkins ten years ago would have pwned his azz lmao

This links back to what Hatton said about British fighters: They are never given credit for their achievements by US fight fans.
