I agree it's always good to watch champion doing what he does best. People who cry about state of division and lack of worthy opponents need to look at this picture

You're just reinforcing that view by showing top ranked, world class, title challenging athletes that are in utterly disgraceful shape. Apart from a few guys, the whole state of affairs is bloody tragic and the state of the division is absurdly bad, as you are proving with these pics. I still can't get over The Nipple being a top class world rated athlete. No technique, slow, fat as ****, uncoordinated....just hopelessly awful. It would be good if some of the top guys at CW moved up. As Huck showed, the size difference, unless they are facing the brothers, would rarely be a major issue. The big guys at CW are huge and would fit in well at HW and then we'd have some better fighters to go around....maybe they'd get rid of guys like Solis, Arreola etc and then maybe Povetkin would actually fight someone worth a damn instead of just running from the Klitschkos for the rest of his career.
Apart from the brothers, and maybe Haye who kind of sucks too in all honesty, the whole division is a shambles and you just reinforced that view by showing top contenders fighting the champions that are in worse shape than my 90 year old grandmother.
The Haitian guy that just beat the ****e out of The Nipple has good technique, is fast and skilled, but like so many of today's world ranked heavies, he's already in his mid to late 30s, has been fighting for nearly 10 years, still hasn't even gotten much beyond the prospect stage, hasn't beaten a single top fighter, unless we call Arreola or Austin one, fights once a year (despite being nothing more than prospective contender only just coming into title contention) and could be in much better shape himself. It's so frustrating. He should have been in the mix years ago. Povetkin and Stiverne anyone?
I like his style though. Has good, quick counters and slips punches well....though any proper world class fighter shouldn't have much trouble with The Nipple. Vitali showed that.Last edited by BennyST; 05-04-2013, 04:32 AM.Comment

McCline breaks down Klitschko-Pianeta

“We don’t have to wait until Wladimir stops boxing to realize what’s going on. We can say it now – Wladimir Klitschko (59-3, 50 KOs) should be considered among best heavyweights in the history of our sport. With legends like Joe Louis, Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes, George Foreman or Mike Tyson,” said former heavyweight contender Jameel McCline in a fightnews.com interview. McCline is in Germany to work as ringside commentator for tonight’s Wladimir Klitschko-Francesco Pianeta WBA, WBO, IBF title fight.
“When you start looking what Wladimir did for the last 7-8 years in the heavyweight division, there only one word – dominance. His critics will say that he is not fighting great fighters, names we remember from the 80s and 90s. First of all – it’s not entirely true, because he fought world champions, fought all the fighters considered legitimate challengers. I know something about that. I fought the guy. And he cannot jump into a time machine and go back 20+ years just to prove people he is better than them. What’s astonishing is the fact that he’s now only winning – he is destroying his rival. When he’s not knocking them down, he’s just giving them lesson on 21st century heavyweight boxing.”
“When we were talking after the final press conference, I asked him about his preparations, especially the mental part. I asked, how he can just shoot down all the distractions, the great life he has, and just be completely committed to every fighter he’s facing. He looked me and said, that “I will always remember the feeling, my mental state after I lost to Corrie Sanders and Lamon Brewster. Always.”
I think Pianeta (28-0, 15 KOs) is a good, solid fighter but unfortunately for him, he will be fighting a GREAT fighter, who basically does everything better. Francesco overcame cancer, there’s no doubt that it will give him extra strength and will to do his best, but how long will it last? In my opinion, maybe 2-3 rounds, then Pianeta will understand how tough his task is; feel the power and accuracy of Wladimir’s punches. After it happens, fight will be over in the middle rounds.Comment
