Why Klitschko-Pianeta is better than Bradley-Prodovnikov

[hweightblogger]

Most people will agree that the outcomes of both Bradley-Provodnikov and Klitschko-Pianeta are very predictable. Both are mismatches between very talented boxers and ordinary opponents.

You should also mention that Pianeta is in the WBO Top Ten.

Wlad is fighting yet another Top Ten opponent. An opponent that has a far better record than for example Ken Norton, when Ali fought him.

A far far better record.

But in Ali's case fighting Norton suddenly turns into "Teh Golden Age".

HW is probably pretty void of talent, but I'd rather watch him fight Arreola (I know, nothing good), Fury, even rematch Haye than fight Wach and Pianeta.

So you think HW is "void of talent" and 147 is so loaded.

If there are so many talented fighters at 147, then why is Bradley fighting a limited opponent like Prodovnikov?

To make it worse, Provodnikov's a light welterweight, not a welterweight, so he's not used to fighting at 147.

It's the same as if Wlad fought the BoxRec #23 cruiserweight!

No,

Bradley 's last fight was against Manny Pacquiao, not Wach.
It's a stay busy fight, a tune up if one considers that Bradley injuried his foot in his last bout.

Wladimir ... fought Wach, now you want me to believe that Wach and Pianeta are the two best HW's around the planet?.
He asked to have his mandatory defense delayed to fight Pianeta?.

Bradley's last 5 fights are: Pacquiao, Casamayor, Alexander, Abregu and Peterson.

Wlad's : Wach, Thompson, Mormeck, Haye and Samuel Peter.

Ok, HW is probably pretty void of talent, but I'd rather watch him fight Arreola (I know, nothing good), Fury, even rematch Haye than fight Wach and Pianeta.

I don't know why these fights don't happen, so I don't bash on Wlad, but the comparison with Bradley is nonsense in my opinion.

lol,wow the only meaningful fight was Haye...he's been on a boring ass run lately

[Larry the boss]

People are bashing Wladimir for fighting Pianeta, but it's okay in their minds if Bradley fights Prodovnikov.

Isn't that a double standard?

Bradley was forced into this fight...Wlad actually chose this guy to fight

Any Klitschko fight > Timothy Bradley.

Tunney. Just stop.

Bradley will fight anybody from 140 to 147. It's not his fault arum is a ****.

You're right.

Bradley is probably willing to fight anybody, it's Bob Arum who decided to take the mismatch with Provodnikov.

Bradley will fight anybody from 140 to 147. It's not his fault arum is a ****.

Well Bradley has himself to blame,he left Shaw just to get a Manny fight and now he gets no meaningful fights and set on the shelf
