Solution from Alex

 

Since we need to find MAX of every 10 samples,we are going to place  after ADC a FIFO  8 bit wide and 10 words deep.
It will require  8*10  flip flops.
Every two stages of FIFO are forwarded to  comparator and multiplexer. A comparator compares two 8 bit numbers and enables a multiplexer to choose the maximum of these two numbers.
It will require 9 pairs of comparator/multiplexer to find the MAX number.
So far, with every new clock there will be a new MAX number on the output.
