Jirov would've pummeled him imo. What makes people rate Adamek so highly, I really don't get it:confused: The reason this fight is being made is because it's probably the biggest money fight Adamek can take where he doesn't stand a good chance of losing currently. He looked completely mediocre in his last fight and laboured the whole way to a sloppy points win over a one armed Eddie Chambers, who can't punch:-\. I wouldn't be shocked if Toney beat him, although I agree it's unlikely and a terrible matchup.

Well the fact that he fights more often than any other top fighter, has beaten some good contenders and didn't come to just go 12 with vitali. I had adamek winin against chambers fairly easily don't know what fight flores was watchin chambers could have four hands and he's not beating adamek, he would always be outworked by him, just like in the povetkin fight. As for looking sloppy well he never was a finesse fighter see briggs 1 and 2

I like Adamek, he's all action and always game. I just don't think he's ever been nearly as good as some people seem to think is all. Paul Briggs was never more than a limited brawler in his own right, and they went neck and neck twice. Watch him fight Chad Dawson for an idea of how he deals with real skills. I think he was lucky Chambers didn't have his left after the first couple of rounds, but even still he looked to be slowing down considerably and was still given a lot of trouble by a guy who just potshotted now and then. I'm not sure Arreola wouldn't have beaten him if not for the injured hand either, that one didn't look good for Adamek early. It's completely understandable why he is taking a fight like this now, it's a payday and he probably hasn't got many left.

And sometimes fighters are highly regarded for other reasons than their skills, adamek being one of these fighters...also he's fought a lot of good solid fighters yet the only ones he lost to were dawson and vitali, so he can't be all that shit in the skills department either. Also as I said before I truly don't think chambers ever beats adamek, as for arreola don't know how a rematch would go, but I'm pretty sure arreola injured his hand on adameks face and dint come with a prexisting injury, haha

If he beats toney he should take on clubber lane next. James toney geeeezuuusss.

I hope Toney gets sparked. Jones jr too. Again.

I would hope for a devastating KO win for Adamek. First, I've never liked Toney. Second, amen to the bolded part above. A KTFO loss is the only way fatass Toney will get the message that it's time to retire fulltime to the buffet line.

This is another fight I don't want to see, but might happen. Toney can't stay away from boxing. Does he need the money, does he think he's worthless without boxing or does he
need to be in the limelight? It's a mystery! Maybe all three? I know why Adamek fights. He fights for the money, that's the right reason, in my opinion.

Perhaps it's time for an RJJ-Toney II match....Evander Holyfield vs Donovan 'Razor' Ruddock (talk about a fight that would have been great in their primes...WOW, would have been all action!) also on the card.

Let's give Holyfield a shot against Wladimir while we're at it, what the heck eh!!

A '04 Toney vs Adamek would be intriguing this however gives me the urge to pistol whip the people who keep telling or making Toney fight on.

James Toney is doing it himself. He is the WBL bollock champion of the world in his eyes.

Toney is a tax delinquent. He owes the IRS over a quarter of a million, according to public records. So he's potless and needs the money. That's why he's still fighting.

God damn that is depressing.
