When you look at Tomasz Adamek (39-1, 27 KO) today, it’s hard to believe that this is the same guy who just three years ago was a light heavyweight WBC champion, bringing 175 pounds to the scale. Adamek version 2010 is a heavyweight contender, with 222 pounds of muscle and power. “And speed, don’t forget about my speed and precision!” – says still “The Ring” magazine cruiserweight champion, a Polish native who dreams that this year he could add another – heavyweight – belt to his New Jersey home. “Goral” Adamek prepares to fight Jason Estrada at Prudential Center on February 6 and speaks about his transformation.

Maybe he's got some of Manny's magic potion eh?;D

It's all down to hard work in the gym. He's the hardest-working fighter out there apart from Pacneedle. Adamek has an incredible work ethic, he's a unique once-in-a-lifetime athlete, defying age and physiology.

Plenty of Cruiserweights would weigh around 220 weeks away from a fight. Im sure Haye and the like did. Its just he wouldnt boil down as much cos there is no need. Adamek did look like he always struggled to make 175.

Always weary of the best cruisers jumping up,does not always pan out.But I get the feeling Adamek will be one helluva fun ride.Would not want to see him push past 220 though.

Doesn't matter....he gets hit too much to do anything at heavyweight UNLESS he fights the right fighters but eventually he's going to fight someone that either has good defense and can box or someone who can dish it out better than he can take it.

Im not saying he is as good as Holyfield, but he has the similiar chin, determination and fitness that made Evander a top guy at 200+. I think Adamek will surprise many.

I hear ya....I'll say it.Hes no where as near as good as young Holyfield of speed or beard Imo ;D.Jk.His determination and drive yeh...Adamek will be good TV,solid respected comer.But never was fast and speed can be his downfall.

...I think his defense will fail him before his speed does. Evander had very good blocking and countering which is why he did so well for so long.

Lets hope he comes through the Estrada fight ok and the Arreola fight is made I would pay to watch that.

Yes!!!!!! Because there are not enough threads to mention Pacquiao in that pertain to Pacquiao...Lets mention him in every post in every thread:rolleyes:

I think I am going to just randomly throw in a Pacquiao-needle joke in every thread. Maybe a Mayweather saga of a untested warrior joke, and then cap it off with a Marg-a-chito joke. I love jokes. Especially ones that NEVER get old like these.

Arreolas in trouble

In a years time I think Adamek, Haye and Wvlad will be the top 3 heavyweights. Adameks gonna bring what the division needs

I am sorry but this is very contraversial. Those pics prove it. This a man who looked like a little beanpole at 175 now he is Schwarznegger'esk at 222 pounds. I remember the Dawson fight Kellerman I believe it was saying Adamek walked around at 200 lbs. 20 -25 lbs of solid muscle is very questionable "don't say well he works really hard at the gym" Last time I checked boxing is a cardiovascular sport where you LOSE weight when fighting not gain damn near 25 lbs of solid muscle. Genetics can only take you so far and from what I've seen of Adamek there is no way he gained this weight naturally. Not only that he gained it so quickly. It takes years to develop this type of muscle mass ask any body builder this guy did it within a year? Very questionable. I hope I am wrong as I am a big Adamek fan but something just seems fishy to me.

Thats because both Haye & Ademek are both Super Cruiserweights ;D

Super in every sense of the word, of course :p
