Hopkins vs. Adamek To Take Place on July 11?

[Ryn0]

My Birthday alrighhhhttt....

[ИATAS]

I can't believe how many people are writing off Adamek, seriously underrating him and making it seem like this is some easy ass fight for hopkins.

[egreezy]

I wonder of Hopkins would still fight Cunningham after Adamek for farewell in Philly?

[Bhopreign]

After watching, Adamek and Hopkins last 5 fights, I think Hopkins is getting KTFO. Adamek is too big and strong for Hopkins, he have a great chin and he is very patient in the ring also. Hopkins will look good te first 3 rounds, after that hell get beat up by Adamek, to the body and head, shot by shot, 1 by 1 and like in round 9 Adamek, wll press the gas pedal, and KTFo Hopkins!!!!!!!!

Still not over the Tito massacre huh.

[Ravens Fan]

Its a win win situation. Hop just made a name for Adamek by beating him.

Kind of like what Joe Calzaghe did to Lacy, Kessler, and Manfredo. A bunch of guys that no one knew until they fought Joe and lost.

He's basically selling his belt to Hop to make a name for himself. Good for Hop, something else to add to the legacy

Hop UD.

Adamek lost to Hopkins? Just wondering if you are gazing into your crystal ball? Also, I could see someone claiming they want to fight Hopkins because they could make the most money. But to think they want to lose to him to make a name for themselves is about the silliest statement I think I have ever read on this forum. And you analogy of Calzaghe fights borders on the bizarre.

Please explain to me how Lacy made a name for himself by losing to Calzaghe? If I remember correctly he was making a name for himself because he was supposed to defeat Joe and his career has taken a straight nose dive since. So, I am little confused was Lacy supposed to make a bad name for himself by losing to Joe? I have to admit you are right about Manfredo because he most definitely made a name for himself by losing to Joe and it is "Average Club Fighter." As far as Kessler is concerned I don't think he ever got over his lose to Joe so what kind of name did he make for himself knowing he will never be able to avenge his only lose? I also have to ask what kind of name did Pavlik make for himself by losing to Hopkins? Before the fight many thought Pavlik was a world beater now many believe he is way overrated. I guess this is just another example of a fighter making a fine name for themselves by losing to Hopkins.

As far as Hopkins vs Adamek. Hopkins will be what twenty five pounds heavier and even that much older. So, he just might be just a little bit slower. And what I know for sure is if Adamek, who is very patient, can hit Hopkins he will hurt him. After all I believe Calzaghe seriously hurt Hopkins and if not for him taking a dive I sincerely believe Joe might have stopped him.

[Mr. Philadel]

this is called takin' a RISK people.....this is how the GREATS became GREAT.......when was the last time Hopkins fought someone who wasn't a RING belt holder?!?!?

[Mr. Philadel]

I protest that!

For one I never said anything about him "wanting" to lose to Hop...... I said IMO he will lose. How you get that mixed up is beyond me.

As far as Lacy. Who was Lacy until he challenged Joe???? NO ONE. He BECAME the guy who was going to beat Joe.

Kessler was the same way. Think about it for a second. He's still a nobody but a MORE popular nobody than before. lol

And what are you even talking about Pavlik? Pavlik was a whole other situation. I didn't even mention Pavlik so I have no idea why one would even bring him into the topic of "NOBODIES". Pavlik was a CLEAR somebody by beating JT twice and then "DESTROYING" Joe Calzaghe's "stable mate". EASILY.....

Again, Lacy, Kessler and Manfredo were guys that made a name from taking on a fight with a undefeated fighter in Joe Calzaghe. That tends to raise your stock.........

As far as Hopkins being hurt in the Calzaghe fight is the biggest joke someone could argue about. That's just hilarious to me. If ANYTHING.... anything at all he was "TIRED" in no way was the "pitty pats" (Peter Manfredo's word choice) hurting him. IF anything at all and like Emanuel Stewart pointed out on SEVERAL occasions, Hop almost took down Joe several MORE times like he did in the very first round. Not the other way around.

FYI: Joe admitted to hitting Hop low...

IF anything Grandpa Hop was dead tired fighting against the guy with the best endurance in the sport. That's all I need to say about that one. One must be a complete moron to think HOP could have been finished by JOE CALZAGHE. The man who hasn't KO'ed anyone in how long? The man that couldn't even KO glass Jawed old man Jones. I mean your talking about Joe Calzahe KO'ing a guy that has never been Ko'ed, let alone have a scratch on his face, let alone bleed from a fight in his entire career..... too too funny.

You must have just started watching Hop..

Like I said I have HOP by UD. Wont be easy, but I say he wins by a UD if it takes place in which Adamek would make a name for losing to Hop in the US. People would know him. Kind of like Hatton. When Mayweather embarrassed him by a BRUTALLY SWEET KO. Everyone in America knows Hatton. Its like hey that's the dude that got KTFO by PBF... Before PBF, Hatton was a nobody in the states, Hatton should be saying thank you Money bling bling Mayweather may I have another. In-which Pac will deliver..... He will "DESTROY" Hatton.

Anyway (back to the actual topic) HOP BY UD! no hate, hope I cleared up some of your questions.

"if hopkins wins in style it just makes calzaghes win look better"

I get it. Because Hop and Calzaghe fought at cruiser weight..... I see the logic.
