    That's all pretty much beside the point though. My point has to do with people (including supposed journalists) completely writing him off as if he is nothing. Adamek might be undersized, especially against the likes of a Klitschko, but he is a hell of a fighter. Anyone who would deny that is just ignorant.
    Agreed Adamek has that guerilla style of hit and run which could cause Vit some problems if he keeps having to turn and search for Adamek.
    There's the chance he shows his age one of these fights and chasing a younger man around the ring could frustrate and keep him guessing

Keep sleeping on Adamek though people. He's obviously a huge underdog, but it's hard to imagine him doing any worse than Haye's pathetic performance against Wlad.
      Although I don't give Aadmek much of a chance to beat Vitali I will say that I believe he has much better boxing skills than Haye. Just not as fast and way less power. I also get really confused when fans keep stating that Grant almost stopped Adamek in the 12th round. Because in reality he never even came close to stopping him. Adamek get caught with maybe one clean shot and Grant could not hit him again. And the only time Adamek wobbled was when Grant grabbed him by the neck and pushed him. And if you don't believe me I suggest that you watch the round with the volume turned down. Because if you listen to the announcer you would believe that Adamek was out on his feet and ready to go which is far from what actually happened.

        I'm fully confident that Vitali-Adamek will have more action than Wladimir-Haye.

        Sauerland is delusional if he thinks Wladimir-Haye rematch is a PPV event again.

          Ademek should show more than Haye did (which isn't saying much) -- but K. is twice as big as him -- as for Haye asking for a rematch or a fight with the other K, that's a joke -- Haye is lucky that his purse wasn't withheld and he hasn't been fined or suspended after his de****able 'performance' against WK

            He's not nothing but he is not a serious threat to Vitali.

              If it happens, it's only because the Klitschkos hate Haye and Vitali wants to finish what Wlad started and KO the guy. Haye doesn't deserve a damn thing, but the Klitschkos are running out of opponents.

                In any case, it does seem a bit misplaced to me that Haye would warrant so much respect, and Adamek is nothing. The entire frame almost sorta comes off as Vitali may have a showdown with Haye, just as soon as he brushes this nobody Adamek aside. Overall, Adamek is a more accomplished and proven fighter than Haye. Maybe not at heavyweight, but even there they aren't so entirely far apart as people would have it seem.
                I would think that Adamek's win over Arreola is worth about 10 times as much as all of Haye's heavyweight wins put together.

                  Adamek would have lost that fight if Arreola hadn't injured his hand. And that was a seriously overweight Arreola. In his last fight Arreola weighed 236. Against Adamek he weighed 250½ and he injured his hand in the ninth round. As it was, Adamek only got a split decision win.

                  Legacy-wise, that version of Arreola and the version of Valuev that Haye beat were about the same. The current version of Arreola would be a different matter though.

                    Adamek had gotten the better of him upto that point. Arreola injured his hand, Adamek's shoes fell apart which obviously affected his movement. Adamek won the fight, get over it. And I didn't agree with the split decesion personally, I thought the victory was pretty clear cut.
