Is Wlad Klitchsko's power overrated?

[warp1432]

Cruiserweight is arguably the weakest...The best guy in the division is Tomasz Adamek and he got schooled by Chad Dawson at light heavyweight...That's the same Dawson that got beat up by 40 year old Glen Johnson.

Heavyweight >>> Cruiserweight

Steve Cunningham is the best fighter in that division. Tomasz Adamek is a good fighter too and Oneil Bell was no slouch just a quitter

Adamek vs Cunningham is coming up later this year.

We will have to bet points on that fight

Adamek is an ok fighter but definatley nothing special. As WLAD OWNS said Chad Dawson made him look pretty ordinary for the majority of their fight and I remember watching both his fights against Paul Briggs and not being at all impressed by him. If he is one of the top two guys in that division I think it is reasonable to conclude it is pretty weak.

How did you score Adamek/Briggs II???

That was a great fight and a pretty damn close one.

I don't know but his holding is underrated.

**** that is going back a while. I was obviously going for Paul but I remember thinking Adamek did enough to win it. I felt Paul could have won the fight if he was more prepared to pull the trigger but I guess Tomasz has to take some credit for that also.

I don't mind Adamek, he is a good fighter. I just think a division in which he is either the number 1 or 2 guy appears to be struggling a litte, as cruiser often seems to be. Those two fights ruined Paul Briggs though. You could just tell that on an emotional level he was devestated that he wasn't able to win one of those fights. I saw his comeback after the second fight and it was one of the worst fights I have ever sat through. He hasn't fought since.

I like divisions where they are competitive. Even if it doesn't have the best of talent and they are evenly matched, it makes for a good division.

Talent wise it might not be better then Heavy, but I think it's a better division just because there are more interesting match ups and outcomes.

[Boofdatruth]

His right hand might be his best punch simply by the fact that his jab stuns the guy first. Single shot wise, his left hook might be better.

When he starts to ko guys with the hook, it wil be his better punch. Right now, the right hand is his punch.

I thought Briggs landed the cleaner shots, but Adamek was busier. that was a fight where either man could've won. Adamek came out of those fights busted up too.
