Wlad has been a good champion. Its not his fault the era he has ruled has been so weak. But should this fight really be for the heavyweight championship of the world? You can't complain about Wlad racking up defenses against weak comp when they're (in this day and age) top contenders who have beaten other contenders and/or top 20 fighters. But guys like Wach, and now Pianeta should be non title fights. I have no problem with Wlad trying to stay busy, but padding your defenses against no hopers who haven't earned the privledge of fighting tor the championship is cheap. I see the usual suspects trying to make this guy out to be a respectable opponent. They gloat that he's undefeated, big and in his prime. But when you dig a little deeper you realize he has fought a few washed up fighters and guys who won't even be considered journeymen in a couple of years. His best win is a draw against Sosnowski and he is 3-3-1 since they fought. And you you watch Pianeta fight he's slow and amateurish. This should be a non title fight. It will be nothing more than a sparring match until Wlad drops the hammer on him.

Yeah I agree. Him being undefeated and a good size are about the only things he does have going for him. I can't fault Wladimir for it but I'd really like to see him in with somebody a bit better than Pianeta.
Maybe I am being a little harsh on the guy but from what I have seen, hes absolutely useless. I can't even lie and big him up a bit, the guy is rubbish.
Aslong as Wladimir fights Povetkin, Pulev or somebody half decent in the summer, I'm happy.
Would rather see Pianeta fight Fury or someone he doesn't deserve a shot.Comment

I'm a big fan of Wladimir but he isn't doing his legacy much good taking these stay busy fights.
Okay a lot of guys ''aren't ready'' and all that but surely there is better guys available than the likes of Thompson rematch, Mormeck, Pianeta and even Wach.
Fury, Pulev, Povetkin, Jennings, surely somebody a bit more meaningful and deserving is ready.
Pianeta isn't worthy of lacing Wlads boots but I suppose it'll have to do until Price, Fury, Glazkov and that feel they're ready.Comment

Agreed. I got no problem with him trying to stay sharp, I just don't think this should be a title fight. I have no doubt Wlad destroys Povetkin as easily as he does Pianeta, but that's a true championship fight. This....this is garbage.Originally posted by dan_cov View PostComment
