Tomasz Adamek, is he really a big deal as a heavyweight, really??

There is an old saying in Spanish... I don't know how well it translates into English, but I guess it goes something like this:

"In the land of blind men, the one-eyed man is king.

No chances at all against the K but I see many reasons why he could beat Haye, stamina and an iron chin being two very good thing to consider and if Barrett can knock Haye down, Hell Adamek can. Beside, he has a good chance against most of the HW in my opinion, not saying he would beat them all but he has his fair chance against most of them. HE will never get down in history as a super HW but as a good one with exciting fights to see and not only once per year, that should be enough to earn some respect. Beside, I am absolutely convinced that Haye will never fight him and will do everything he can to avoid him and to fight meaningless challenger

The funny thing is how AFTER Adamek had beaten them, fighters like O'Neil Bell, Cunningham, Banks or Arreola have become "on self destruct" or "nothing exceptional". I remember people saying other things before the fights. I remember how Banks once seemed "very dangerous" to everyone, even after first rounds of the fight. I'm sure Adamek could have stopped the careers of other boxers as well, but as others have said: who did he duck?
