Pulev will be no walkover. I can see him beating Adamek comfortably if he utilizes his excellent jab and boxes Adamek early before turning up the heat.

Great CW, Good HW. He's showing serious signs of slowing though...
Who's radar? The guy has been all action but most definetly is well on the slide and as you said undersized and without a serious punch at heavyweight. I also thought Cunningham clearly beat him and that he looked just as pedestrian against Chambers, who would've beaten him as well if not for injury(imo). Saying that, he still pulls in a decent gate and isn't having any trouble getting fights so can't feel to bad for him really.
Adamek has faced many good boxers in his career and compiled some good wins. He's put together a good legacy for this era. Not a great one though. Recently, he beat Arreola and has a win over Chambers. It's not his fault Chambers injured his hand in the fight. He lost to Steve Cunningham in his last fight. No way he won that one. That makes their series even because I had him winning the first fight Steve Cunningham. That Steve was robbed in their last fight made some people think less of Adamek. Of course, it wasn't his fault the judges got it wrong.
From what I understand, he won't be facing Pulev next. If he faces Pulev, he gets knocked out. I was never convinced of Adamek as a heavyweight. He isn't big and he doesn't have a knockout punch. He's quick of foot, but not exceptionally quick of hands. His is, however, a pretty capable boxer.
The more compelling question in my opinion is where Adamek ranks on the list of all-time Polish heavyweights/cruiserweights? Was Golota better than him in his prime? Is his cruiserweight record better than Wlodarczyk?
Adamek has courage he has moved up in weight and taken the best challenges possible and fought his best. He is no super heavyweight but he gives his all. As long as the Klit brothers are around he will not win a title but that goes for all the heavyweights out there on that score.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
