    I don't really like how Adamek responded to the movement of two lesser fighters. Cunningham is Jermain Taylor-esque. He backs himself into the ropes willingly, he doesn't really understand angles well. Overall he's not nearly as gifted as even a 44 year old Hopkins in the defensive department. Banks was frustrating Adamek with simple movement. Adamek doesn't like to waste punches. If he doesn't have a target, he doesn't throw. Look what Dawson did to him.

    The only reason I picked Pavlik to win was because I thought Hopkins was done. It turns out Calzaghe just made him look old. I see him having an easy time with Adamek.

      why do u keep on mentioning bhop hurting adamek ... what nard would do is outclass adamek not knock him out ... as well cunningham and banks both seemed to have stunned adamek but he does have a solid chin without a doubt, but i think it may alrady be showing signs of it being chipped away.

      bhop does not look flabby at 175 ...

      yes zags was tiring bhop out but what 43-44 year old wouldnt getting tired, zags fights like hes tweaked ...

      bhop is a master at not getting hit flush and has a great chin, while no fighter coudl take too many of adameks rights i think a master like bhop will not allow himself to be put in the situation to get hit with flush right hands.

      adamek is a good fighter bhop is a great fighter, adameks style seems tailor made for bhop imo. i think bhop should be able to outclass adamek quite soundly ...

        I dont think BHop will KO Adamek... I keep mentioning that because Adamek will not respect BHops power...... He will give a little head movement and keep throwing the right hand... Even in the clinch Adamek will be too strong, and the little punches on the back of the head, and body shots, will wear BHop down...

        I just think Adamek is too big, too strong, and has too much of a chin... I would be going for Hop though....

          I dont think that at 44 years old, BHop has the stamina to do what Dawson did.... And thats an in his prime Dawson.... BHop would have to move for 3 minutes in every round.. I dont think he can... eventually Adamek catches up, and hurts Bernard....

            B-Hop won't try to "hurt" Adamek. He will throw combinations, move and clinch him once Adamek gets going. Adamek isn't exactly a straight-forward fighter like Pavlik, he fought Banks differently than Cunningham, he has solid boxing skills and a hell of a left hook to the body. He still is easy to hit, though. We will have to wait and see if Bernard has enough legs for Cruiserweight and if Adamek's size and strength advantage will be too much for him. And, I thought Cunningham DEFINITELY hurt Adamek, he just never knocked him down and Adamek recovered very quickly.

              Clottey is good... but he is too STATIONARY for Cotto....

              He will give Cotto a little bit of fits early... but 5 rounds in after take Cotto's shots to the arms and body Clottey will get worn down.... Cotto's power will take over and he will eventually TKO Clottey standing up... I say the 10th round....

              I hate to say it, but Clottey gets whooped by Cotto, and fairly easy...
              Clottey is stationary because of his Winky like defense, he doesnt need to be agile and use his footwork. And furthermore Clottey is much bigger and stronger than Cotto. You think Cotto going to win because you assume already by watching Margarito vs Clottey, he going to fracture or sprain his hand/arm again? I don't think so.

                If Bhop-Adamek was at sumthin like 185 Bhop would win a UD. I think Clottey will bring 12 rd stamina to a fight wit Cotto and UD him.

And I think SOme in too much... One or 2 is enough....

                  On 2 the second.......
                  GBP will just pay off Adamek to stand in front of Hopkins and not throw anything like they did Pavlik. Watch, Hopkins looks like he's 24 when he ends up fighting Adamek.

                    Clottey gets too much press for beating no one, and it's hard to imagine bhop as a cruiser. I think the Adamek Hop thing ain't gonna happen.
