Polish term
nie ma podjazdu
"Łukasz Trałka przed meczem Legia – Warta. "Do Legii nie ma podjazdu, ale... my też mamy dwie nogi. Jednym z najciekawszych spotkań 21. kolejki PKO Ekstraklasy będzie starcie Legii Warszawa z Wartą Poznań. Wielkim nieobecnym spotkania będzie pauzujący za kartki Łukasz Trałka. Kapitan beniaminka był gościem "Magazynu Sportowego RDC". – Do Legii w tym sezonie nie ma podjazdu. Przy takim potencjale kadrowym to pewniak do mistrzostwa – przyznał."

Michalczewski wyśmiał Adamka. "Nie ma podjazdu"
- Ja byłem najlepszy, Tomek jest daleko za mną, nie ma do mnie podjazdu. Liczby mówią same za siebie. Wszyscy polscy mistrzowie świata razem wzięci mają pewnie maksymalnie połowę obron tytułu co ja. Trudno z tym dyskutować - wypalił Michalczewski, który aż 23 razy obronił tytuł.
Wygląda na to, że Adamek jeszcze nie powiedział ostatniego słowa w boksie zawodowym, co jednoznacznie skrytykował Michalczewski. "Tygrys" w zupełnie innym tonie mówił o Andrzeju Gołocie.

In slang, “no contest” means that there is no competition or comparison; it’s a way of saying something is clearly the best or the winner without any doubt.

McHammer's line (those who cannot relate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otCpCn0l4Wo), "CAN'T TOUCH THIS" also fits in nicely here as it basically means that nobody can reach his talent, level or match/outperform him. In everyday life, "no contest" is very commonly used in situations like the one with Michalczewski and Adamek.
