Adamek did really bulk up...From 175 to 222 pounds

[JohnnyKickAss]

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?

[Kirkland Laing]

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.

[Spicoli]

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.

[El Kabong]

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.

He doesn't even work close to as hard p4p as Mayweather.

But he is a good fighter and athlete. I still can't get over his fight with Dawson and how badly he was dominated.

Adamek = 37 lbs in 3 years

Im just stating facts no need to argue u already made up your mind.

Getting bigger does not lead to accusations as much as avoiding drug testing. If Adamek is asked for random drug testing and refuses it then he will be albeled as a cheat like Pac.
If Adamek comes out and blasts top heavies the fuck out and loses none of his speed then ask the questions too. Being well over 6 foot makes purring on weight easier too. Between ages 23 and 26 i've put on 24 pounds doing weight trianing and eating more hardly even trying.

Accusations have started way before the negotiation.

He wont be labeled as a cheat even if he has done all that without actual proof.

More astonishing feat has been done before.


Could you imagine a fighter ruling 126, 135 and 147 at the same time?
a fighter at 43 yrs old dominating a much younger Lineal champion?

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

[JonnyFolds]

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.

[GAME]

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

[The Fightfan]

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.
