Adamek is the better fighter, it's the size difference that he's up against more than anything. Nothing worse than a sweaty man boob leaning onto your face. It's enough to put any fighter off their game!

    I'm up for a little flutter providing the fight comes off.
    I agree that the heavyweight division is lacking these days even though I disagree with your feelings on Arreola although I concede you are not alone. I'm not comparing the skills of Arreola to the skills of Toney. Far from it. Arreola is a big guy with decent skills. Arreola effectively throws combinations, which is rare for a heavyweight, and has a solid chin. He has heart and unlike the Klitschkos, makes for exciting fights. His fight with Minto was more fun to watch than any Klitschko fight of the last three years. He needs to win once more and then fight a Povetkin, Chambers, or Haye type of opponent.

    The Minto fight was fun for sure. The fighters you listed might make good fights, I think Sam Peter would be a fairly interesting fight too.

    And truthfully, regardless of the outcome, so would an Adamek fight.

    I like Adamek but I think this fight is all wrong for him. Rantacrat is right Adamek is no heavyweight he is a cruiserweight. Arreola would probably come in 60 lbs heavier than Adamek, Adamek is no defensive wizard like Byrd was early on to make the big man miss and pay. For a big man Arreola is pretty accurate with his punches. I could only imagine is Arreola went to the body he would probably break Adamek in half. The only chance Adamek has is too move and simply box his man but the problem is he likes to get in a firefight when he gets tagged a few times. He has to constantly stay on his toes and stay away from Arreola's big right hand. I do not think this is possible so I would say Arreola by TKO around 6 or 7 rounds.

    I have a bad feeling about this fight for Adamek. As mentioned above if Vitali couldn't kayo Chris I doubt Tomasz will...although Klitschko mostly throws arm punches these days.

    Any idea where this fight will take place? Where the fight takes place and Chris' weight will be the deciding factors for me.

    The fight is taking place in California, Arreola country. Unfortunately, Chris, like always, will weigh a good 30 pounds more than he should. My guess 255.

    I like Adamek. So I rather not see him take this fight. Cuz it will end badly for him. He'll take the frist couple of rounds with his movements. But Arreola has good hand speed for a fat fukk. And will eventually catch him. And Adamek will go to sleep
