The fact that Vitaki Klitschko v Adamek is bring debated as a top ten heavyweight win is embarrassing for heavyweight boxing.

Klitschko had all the advantages going into this one.

Nothing makes sense about having vit/adamek on your list.

That's your subjective opinion though, as subjective as mine.

No, it's a ridiculous placement on a reasonable list that everyone finds absurd.

True, but even in that rancid decade that fight doesn't belong anywhere near a top 10.

Joshua vs Klitschko was a very entertaining fight. But in terms of the value of the win I don’t think it should be rated very high. Wladimir was done. And had already lost the title anyway

TOP 10 based on the BoxRec's ratings of the defeated fighters:

1. Tyson Fury vs Wladimir Klitschko - 1454 points

2. Andy Ruiz Jr vs Anthony Joshua - 1179 points

3. Anthony Joshua vs Wladimir Klitschko - 928.7 points

4. Wladimir Klitschko vs David Haye - 638.5 points

5. Wladimir Klitschko vs Kubrat Pulev - 618.6 points

6. Anthony Joshua vs Alexander Povetkin - 590.8 points

7. Wladimir Klitschko vs Alexander Povetkin - 449.6 points

8. Vitali Klitschko vs Tomasz Adamek - 441.5 points

9. Deontay Wilder vs Luis Ortiz - 418.6 points

10. Charles Martin vs Vyacheslav Glazkov - 415.5 points

Oooh, more Adamek controversy

he mad again.

Not really. Actually, i thought that both Vitali vs Adamek and Wilder vs Ortiz will be outside the top 10, maybe one of those at 10 at best. Expected Joshua-Parker to be in there.

I couldn't imagine vitali/adamek in the top 30.

You wouldn't be able mention even 20 better wins, probably 15 at best.

Haye's pre-Klitschko fight HW resume is as poor as Adamek's (imo worse, he defeated old John Ruiz and in fact lost to Valuev, that's it) yet win over Haye is seen as a huge win. I don't think that prime Haye was a much better fighter either. His main advantage over Adamek is power punching, obviously, but i think that prime Adamek would've had a decent chance of winning on points. Even more so at CW.

Easily more than 20. I don't rate that win at all. I'd rate adameks win over arreola higher. The only reason I didn't say 50 is because not many guys fought during the decade. Anyway, continue on, I'm as bored with this as I was when that fight was announced. Good payday for adamek, he deserved that. Past that a totally pointless fight.
