WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. � A champion boxer says he turned down a sightseeing ride on a plane that crashed in New Jersey, killing all five people on board.

Tomasz Adamek tells The Star-Ledger of Newark that he didn�t want to fly in a small plane in cold weather with snow on the ground.

The IBF world heavyweight champion lives in Jersey City and had flown before with the plane�s owner, Jacek Mazurek.

Investigators are trying to figure out why the plane crashed at Monmouth Executive Airport just minutes after it took off Monday.

Mazurek, another New Jersey man and family friends from Poland, including two boys, died in the wreck.

The boxer says his friend�s death gives him an empty heart.

Good call by Adamek.

I know I wouldn't be comfortable.

I've seen the Buddy Holly Documentary to many times.

Man, that sucks, sorry to those that died,

Adamek is in my top ten faves, I would have been crushed. It would have been a huge blow to boxing.

It was either the plane or arreola that was/is going to destroy him.

Was very smart on his part being weary due to the weather.
