This to me looks like nothing more then a way for Adamek nto adjust to mfighting a man as tall as a Klitschko and get used to dfistance etc....Lets not be silly and try to pretend that Grant is the caliber of either but if Adamek gets in rounds it will be a great way for him to gauge what he needs to fix...
Personally I think Adamek should be chasing a fight with Haye who wanted NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM AT CW......But I rerally think he could givge an honest go at it against a Klitschko in another year question is which one?...
How does everyone think he will fare the 21st? I pick Adamek by UD and a wide one after a few rounds of adjusting....Grant has nothing left and after this can serve as a sparring partner to help prepare for a Klit

Yeah, in terms of looking for a tall opponent, then you can give them some credit for at least thinking ahead, but as we all know: About the only thing Michael Grant has in common with the K2's anymore IS his height.

Why else could he possibly want to fight Grant? I mean c'mon after LL put him out to pasture Grant has been an undercard even on FNF shows...I liken it to the way PBF wanted to fight JMM...Just as a way to use for a measuring stick

I see Grant getting Ko'd....he has NO chin man! I too agree that since Haye has pussyed out of a Klitscjko fight that Adamek should have went after him...but then again, doesn't Haye have Chagaev as a mandatory?

Haye ran away from the CW division so he didn't have to face Adamek ... I doubt he will fight him at HW.
I doubt he will fight Chagaev either ... My guess is he lines up Harrison, Williams, Sexton, Sprott, Skelton & McDermott.

A KO of Grant is possible I mean Adamek beat up Arreola pretty bad and that was while having shoe issues .....IMO Adamek is a dasngerous fighter that no one even the Brothers are in a rush to step in with...Is he Superman or the most dangerous guy around? No but he does everything well eneough that he really lacks in no areas....The last time he was pushed ina fight was against Cunnungham but he has trouble against pure Boxers EG Dawson but he has improved on it and continues.... Chagaev may KO Haye...I hope people are not using the Vitaly fight to judge what he haS LEFT

My guess is he lines up Harrison, Williams, Sexton, Sprott, Skelton & McDermott. And should he beat all those guys, he's in my top 10 heavy's of all time ;D

umm Chagaev didn't fight Vitali ... I don't think either of the brothers would hesitate to step in the ring with Adamek.

Daxx...you KNOW I think Chagaev is a quality HW, right? I don't anyone can beat Wlad Klit right now....maybe in a few years, but aside from him, I think Chagaev can beat most HW's including Haye AND Vitali.....but then again, Ruslan does not fight enough!

Billy- I know I ragged on Ruslan when he held his belt for what seemed like FOREVER and pulled out of fights with some questionable injuries, but to be honest I think I prefer him to some Ninties Era Jokers getting their umpteenth shot, that's for sure.

He is a decent fighter and certainly a capable one but like stated his inactivity has hurt him...I think he lost hwat a year and a half due to his back?.... Then again I don't know some think I was crazy because I though Sultan Ibragimov was a good fighter....Undersized but could box well and take a shot....I always thought The Sultan and Byrd at HW would have been a decent match-up

What I hate most is that not only is there limited Traffic on the Highway we call the HW Division, but that it's a FOUR LANE ROAD. It's like going through a Tollbooth, and you can't change lanes, you have to wait to go through your particular tollbooth/lane or you lose your spot.

I think the reason he does not fight that much is because he has Hep....some form of it that most commissions in the States won't approve. I think "other" injuries were mentioned when he was turned down.
