Does Adamek Carry the Punch at Heavyweight?

[TheIcon]

He moved up from CW and is a very skillful fighter but does he possess the power to knock people out?

[Kevin Malone]

Based on his fights at HW I'd say no (at least not at the elite level).

No he doesn't but it doesn't even matter. You don't need a heavyweight punch to be a good heavyweight champion. Ali had power but he didn't really have a devastating heavyweight punch but he's arguably the best Heavyweight ever.

Adamek has a chance to beat Vital because he's probably the best technical boxer at heavyweight right now except maybe Eddie Chambers. I don't really call what Wlad does technique since he just uses his size and jab to beat the better more technicaly heavyweights so Wlad would probably beat him but I give him a chance to outbox Vital because Vital usually does better against the scrappier knockout punching heavyweights because of his size and chin.

no...cant say that he does

I would not give him the famous punchers chance at heavyweight.

[The Hammer]

No.

Unlike Haye, he had no problem making 200 - it was his best fighting weight in his 30s.

He's just not a natural heavyweight. But neither were Chris Byrd and Sultan Ibragimov, and they did okay in the division.
