    I'm not really that excited in him to be honest. I mean he's like a lot of others, capable of beating everybody aside from the Klitschko's, but it's a massive gulf between him and Wlad or Vitali.

    He's best off targeting David Haye, against either of the brothers he just loses a dull one side decision, or else gets stopped late.

    I think he knocks out David Haye though which would be fun.

    But the trouble with the heavyweight division is that talent wise you have the Klitschko's on top like this

    Wlad
    Vitali














































































    and then the rest are way down here. Worse still the one sided beat downs the brothers will put on them are in no way fun to watch either so really what you essentially have is a second tier, almost like a heavyweight championship lite going on.

    None of them excite me really because they are all pretty mediocre.

    I think Odlanier Solis will prove to be the best of them but that's dependant on him taking his weight under control, which is no sure thing.

    I wouldn;t fight the Klits, make them fight each other or make one relinquish the title so that there is only one. Till then make fights with everyone else, like Haye, Povetkin etc.

    Adamek vs. Haye makes the most sense...

    In another era Adamek is a brillant heavyweight. I think right now he should fight someone else who got dealt with by a Klitschko.

    If Calvin Brock was fighting I'd like to see that. Let Shannon Briggs fight Adamek if he wants to come back so bad.


    Once Adamek got his shoe taped up things went rather smooove last night. Too bad for Arreola being so out of shape.

    I'd also like to see Adamek Vs. Liakhovich.

    I think David Haye clearly has more TALENT than either Klitschko.

    Adamek may have more as well.

    But its the SIZE difference that sets the Klitschkos apart. That and they do have good power in their right hands.

    I actually was more impressed with Arreola's initial approach to the fight than Adamek's overall contribution. When he remembered to stay on the back foot, he was outboxing Adamek imo.

    To be tottally honest, I only saw the 1st 7 or 8 rounds but I know that after 6 completed rounds, I had it 4-2 for Arreola.

    Adamek must of really come on in the last rounds. Either that or Arreola went to shit?

    What happend

    Well the injury certainly didnt help the situation for Arreola, although I Adamek still likely would have won.

    Besides a few in the early-middle, I thought Arreola lost every round.

    A few years back on ESP2 there was a fighter that needed his shoes taped up because he had no traction. I forgot who it was, but I'm pretty sure we talked about it on here.

    Not the same, but still...
