Who Was More Dominant, Vitali vs. Adamek or Donaire vs. Some Guy

[Die Antwoord]

Who was more dominant. Both were fighting guys with great records from weight classes below. Who was more dominant though?

[TheGreatA]

The difference was that Adamek is an offensive fighter. See Vitali-Kevin Johnson.

[Heru]

Adamek, of course.

Dominating an opponent, who's at a 30 pound disadvantage is the definition of pound for pound. Adamek's defense > Narvaez' defense too.

[William Blake]

Vitali---not even close. He got the KO.

[Die Antwoord]

So why is Donaire in everyones p4p and Vitali isnt? He beat a multi-divisonal champ and killed him. Donaire fought...I dont know, somebody and was squeaking rounds.

[Maidana vs Rios]

So why is Donaire in everyones p4p

Because Max Kellerman says so, duh.

You think Vitali should be a top P4P fighter because he beat Chad Dawson's left overs?

Because he's also blitzed two other great champions, and possible HOFers by brutal KO in fights that were meant to be even. Not to forget Sidorenko, the long time WBA BW champ. However, Narvaez was unbeaten, had many, many more title defences than Adamek at over 20 all up, was also a multi division champ and yet it was just a stay bust fight for Donaire. Adamek is basically equal to Narvaez, but Adamek is probably Vitali's defining fight while Narvaez is just a tune up. It's not one fight that determines P4P status. Also, Vitali had over 30 pounds weight advantage, and a massive, absurd height and reach advantage plus it was against an offensive fighter with no defence.

Narvaez was seen as just a stay busy type fight for Donaire. Adamek was one of Vitali's career highlights. It goes to show the difference between the two divisions and fighters. Donaire is lucky enough to have been able to fight some great fighters and dominate them. Vitali got stopped by the only great fighter he ever fought.

That's why.

Narvaez was unbeaten, had many, many more title defences than Adamek at over 20 all up, and the same amount of world title wins in different weight divisions and yet it was just a stay bust fight for Donaire. It's not one fight that determines P4P status. Also, Vitali had over 30 pounds weight advantage, and a massive, absurd height and reach advantage.

Vitali is in my p4P rankings, but Donaire is higher because he has beaten better competition. . . Not Vitali's fault. . .

Donaire beat a guy I had around 7-9 on pound for pound list in Montiel. . . And he didn't just beat him, he STARCHED him. . . Also, Sidorenko, is a very good opponent, world class in his own right, and he got dominated. . . MOREOVER, he KO'd a guy who was around 7 on pound for pound list at the time in DARCHINYAN. . He has just beaten much better competition.

Sidorenko, Narvaez, Darchinyan, Montiel > Adamek, Peter, Sosnowski, Arreola
