Tomasz Adamek Likely Headed to Heavyweight Division

[BillyBoxing]

BoxingScene.com has learned that IBF cruiserweight belt-holder Tomasz Adamek has likely thrown his final blow as a 200-pounder and will move north to the more lucrative heavyweight division. [details]

Bad idea Tomasz....
He should rule 200 and continue to improve his skills.
There are 3 others belts and champs to beat plus the Steve USS C. rematch.

Adamek is one of the most entertaining fighter,I hope he'll not move up cuz he'll never touch a belt.

His last fight wasn't lucrative cuz Gunn was a bum.

Sucks for him then really cause none of those 3 really have a chance vs Klits hell Gomez lost all ready sadly. It's just monsters ruling that division who use there height well and to there advantage ala Wlad, its boring as hell but effective. I mean Valeuv is another example guy is really **** but just gets away with it due to his frame..

NO,
Valuev is a bum,and Klits are good P4P fighters.

ok let me get this right......he drops USS 3 times and wins a SD in a FOTY candidate........instead of a immediate rematch(which EVERYONE demanded) he chose a bad fighter with a good record.......then one bum after the other......USS becomes his MANDATORY he decides to move up .......he's duckin' USS and its obvious

thats why he is moving to HW...ABSOLUTELY NO MONEY AT CRUISER WEIGHT!

Beside he has the frame of a smaller HW like Haye, Gomez or Chambers

doubt it. He wants to get paid. He has the body type for it. And had mentioned moving up to HW after the Cunningham fight and again in his next match. Oh the only bum he defened against was Gunn. I think it's a good move. He would just beat USS again and wouldn't get mopre than a handfull of beans for doing so.

More Money at HW like some posters are pointing out. Fighters careers are short and you need to make that money now before you hit the slide. He is 32 years old and doesn't have to many top years left in him.

HBO's Ross Greenburg should have been willing to show Adamek-Johnson. It would have been a great fight and Adamek would have had a much-deserved big payday.

NO,
Valuev is a bum,and Klits are good P4P fighters.

I said Valeuv was a bum lol

But you think if Wlad didn't have such a size difference over most of his opponent in height and Arm length and had a Haye/Chambers like physique, he would be able to jab all night too protect his china??

[TheGreatA]

It would be amazing if he were able to capture a title there. He would be a title holder at LHW, CW and HW. I don't think anyone has ever won titles in all of those three divisions.

I give Adamek little chance against any title holder (the Klitschko brothers) not named Valuev. I wouldn't mind seeing him against Haye or Chambers.

Wlad has shorter arms than at least 1/2 of his opponents, including two of his past three, Rahman and Thompson. Watch the HBO fights, they give the arm length at the beginning of the telecasts.
