Adamek isn't THAT bad, come on. He lost to Vitali Klitschko at HW... Who hasn't!

The punch bag bit might have been a little wind up sure but I didn't think the thread was THAT outrageous! LOL

An old Lennox Lewis is one guy who hasn't

Evander was in the same class in his prime. Adamek didn't come close to winning a round against Vitali, I don't think he deserved the nod against Cunningham in either of their fights and that's the best boxer he can ever claim to have beaten. I'm not sure it wouldn't be a competitive fight if this happened today with Holyfield training in aqua fit and tai chi classes at the seniors home.

Of course Holyfield is a legend

Well I agree Lennox Lewis would be able to KO Adamek like he KO'd Botha. But I also think Tomasz would have performed well against some guys who beat Holyfield, like John Ruiz, Michael Moorer or Chris Byrd.

Of course I can't see him besting Bowe or Tyson either though LOL that's obviously a stretch!

Holyfield was OLD when he lost 2 of those fights, you didn't ask whether Adamek would've been able to perform well against that guy. If you had, I think he'd still lose clearly, as he would against any of those 3 others for that matter. Beating Holyfield on his best night wouldn't have been more likely than beating a post prison Tyson no matter who you are talking about, and Moorer and Bowe in the 90s were great HWs. This thread is basically your admitting that you think so highly of Vitali, that anyone who went some rounds with an old version of him could have beaten anyone who was around 10 years earlier
