Adam vs Sun is very much a toss up, especially as Adam's "finisher" strike required time to charge up(and possibly fed on the energy beam), and Sun didn't really seem invested in that fight(against Roman), I would wager he held back a little for the tournament, as I recall he didn't even use clones. …except it was shown he needs to stand still in order to invoke the clones, something he didn’t have the luxury of when fighting Roman, since the only moment of the fight he could have used that was while the metal crate was falling at him… also that’s ignoring the relatively small fact Roman is so far seen to be one of 2 character who’s ranged damage is worth a damn, so Sun went in close in order to not let him get shots of… I’m sorry but saying he was holding back for not using a semblance that would have potentialy hindered him in the context of the fight…I’ll have to respectfully disagree. I wasn't saying he held back because he didn't use the clones, I was saying he was holding back period. the monkey king(Sun's basis) often disregards his opponents and screws around, generally just "monkeying" around until he knows the opponent is serious, if you watch Sun in that fight he is "stepping it up" in terms of intensity the whole time, based on his opponents skill.

do I feel it likely he would defeat Adam round 1? no, but I don't think he will hold back round 2, and his first fight really depends on his motivation for the fight, and the same thing goes with Adam. If Adam encounters Sun, he will likely target non-faunus first, then Sun if(he likely would) intervenes. If Sun sees Adam attack a friend, he will likely go all-out.
