Tyson Fury says Tomasz Adamek is not a natural heavyweight.




Richard Schaefer says a fight with Alexander Povetkin is one possible matchup they are considering for Bernard Hopkins.




Tomasz Adamek vs. Krzysztof Wlodarczyk is being considered.

Adamek vs Krzysztof Wlodarczyk would be one hell of a fight. And a Polish battle. I'd love to see Adamek fight for a cruiserweight title. He just simply can't hang with these giants, indeed. He's good at cruiser. But, he did of course come up from LHW, end essentially drank a cup of coffee at cruiser (he did of course get a title).

That's not to say that Adamek should be at LHW, of course. It is simply saying that he didn't really even simply move from cruiser to heavy, it was more like LHW to heavy. I think cruiser is perfect for him though, at this point. You have to respect the hell out of the guy for giving it a serious go at heavyweight, beating some very good fighters, challenging against Vitali, etc. But, at this point, a Wlodarczyk fight at cruiser sounds perfect.
