Comments Thread For: Adamek on Why He Turned Down Klitschko, Talks Haye

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Polish heavyweight Tomasz Adamek spoke with The Times about his reason for turning down an offer to fight WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko. Adamek said an offer came his way last year when David Haye withdrew from a September fight with Vitali. Adamek fights Chris Arreola on April 24. [Click Here To Read More]

Great move by Adamek not fighting Vitali so soon he needs to get use to fighting at the Heavyweight division first Arreola is going to be a nice test for him if he wins he could fight Haye then bring on either Klitschko

I agree... extremely intelligent. I am rooting for him against Arreola

[Pirao]

Yes, fighting Vitali right away would have been suicide. If he beats Arreola I'd love to see him face one of the bros.

I'd like Haye/Adamek, although such a fight should of happened at Cruiser.

It's nice to hear probably the first HW speaking honestly why he did not face Klitschko. Adamek is a great guy. He goes to the top op the HW division in a right way. First destroyed a well-known veteran and became a star in own country (Golota fight). Then defeated a good active HW (Estarda), and now fighting a Top 10 guy (Arreola). If he defeats Areolla, I would like to see him fighting Haye. And after Haye - the last step on his way - the Kltischkos.

Adamek does something that most HW's do not use, lateral movement.

Adamek is a good guy and was a great Cruiser/Light Heavyweight but lets just be real if Chad Dawson gave him problems and he couldnt KO Estrada and got caught plenty by him as well then I dont see how he plans on beating Cristobal Arreola. Arreola knows how to box he may sometimes slug it out which is what fans want to see, but that doesnt mean his amateur career just goes out the window. If he comes in at under 250 I believe he will TKO Adamek maybe not 1 punch KO because Adamek has a chin and is a warrior but I think Arreola will overwhelm him. Arreola hits alot harder than Estrada and this will truly test if Adamek can hang with the big boys I just hope Arreola comes prepared and doesnt take Goral lightly because anything is possible just highly unlikely

I like Adamek. Dude doesn't do much talking, just shows up and takes care of business. Kinda reminds me of Holyfield the way he went from cruiser and is taking on top heavyweights. If he can weather the storm against Arreola I think he can come out with a victory. Should he win, I think a fight with Haye would be nice then a fight with either K brother. Sad cause i'd like to see him get in 4 or 5 fights at heavyweight before taking on either K brother, but with so little comp in the heavies he'll have to take on the champs sooner. First we'll have to wait and see if he can take a solid shot from Arreola.
