Pole on points.
Re: Tomasz Adamek vs Guillermo Jones
I'd have to favor Adamek primarily due to the greater consistency he showed in his career. Jones had a few standout performances, but his peak seemed to be pretty short. Adamek operated at a pretty high level for a good little while there.

Re: Tomasz Adamek vs Guillermo Jones
After watching highlights of Guillermo Jones vs Lebedev, my conclusion would be that Adamek would be too elusive, skillfull, and effectively volume punching his way to a clear cut decision win over the noticeably plodding style of Guillermo Jones.
Guillermo had his way with the likewise plodding flat footed style of Lebedev but if he's dealing with Adamek, he's dealing with an entirely different style and class of opponent.
Adamek was the goods, but unfortunately, he just didn't have the best of opponents, the ones of the higher showcase variety, available for true mega fights.
Cruiserweight has Basically so far always been a very overlooked weight class division in pro boxing, unfortunetely.
However, nowadays though, that could very well change, and quite dramatically, with "David Benevidez" unexpectedly moving up to the 176-200 lb cruiserweight division, and easily defeating "Zurdo Ramirez" in decisive fashion.
Now, we have a potential mega fight clash of "Benevidez" very likely taking on the long standing star and champ of the CW division, "Jai Opetiae".
I only point out this extra stuff because it further emphasizes my point that "Adamek" unfortunately didn't have a true highly challenging high showcase "Dancing partner", as they put it in the realms of competitive boxing terminology.
Adamek-Haye would've been Great. They're careers, while competing at cruiserweight, were on slightly different timelines though, unfortunately.
