Comments Thread For: Klitschko vs. Pianeta Waiting For The WBA's Approval

[simonihirst]

A silly fight. No one cares about Pianeta. Wlad has better options such as Solis (who for those who disagree is at least better than this bum), Pulev, Povetkin, Helenius, Fury, Adamek, even Wilder would be better than this joke. The situation with Povetkin is ridiculous. There needs to be more done to stop TV power. If it isnt organisations such as WBA agreeing ****** voluntary defenses, its promoters and TV contracts stopping the fights people actually want to see!

Was Buster Douglas a no hoper against Tyson ? remind me who won that fight again please.Wlad is closing in on all kinds or records,jealousy and envy is a fother mucker right ?

I can't wait to see Wlad fighting 3 times a year again,last year allowed the likes of Price,Pulev and Fury to progress and get the experience needed,I couldn't care less what bums get beat on by the bro's as long as they fight their mandatories and unifications down the line.Theyve cleared out the last wave and are awaiting the next line of would be challengers.

Whether Vitali continues or not,which I hope he does,I'll be happy with a defining career,rather than a particular defining fight.Hopefully he sticks around and fights Fury though,I'd like to see him on his backside or retiring on his stool.

Excellent post.

lol.

Were you happy when he fought Mormeck too? Or was i allowed to "moan and whine" then?

I love watching Wladimir fight. But not against no-hopers.

Seriously, it's been almost 4 years since he fought a 12 round fight.
I don't care how tall he is. Only ******s think that height among heavyweights is of huge importance.

Umm David Haye? Mariusz Wach?

I obviously meant Pianeta.

Are you saying Buster Douglas and Pianeta are on the same level?

I'm probably just as big a Wlad fan as you or Freedom or whoever. I'd love to see him break every record out there. I wont excuse every single move he makes though. I'm not a bumsniffer, I'm a boxingfan.

Vitali and Wladimir should not have the same responsibilities.
Vitali is an old man.

Wladimir is as good as he's ever been.

He wants to fight 3 times a year, Pianeta is supposed to be a stay busy.

There isn't a fight out there that's not a stay busy fight.

Who's Pianeta anyway? He any good? Honestly never even heard the name.

Considering that he'd been a top ranked contender for years, fought and beat former champions and was clearly world class and had some great qualities, when he put in a consistent training camp, that statement is just inane. They are not remotely similar. Douglas, at his best, is still better than every single heavyweight out there today not named Klitschko. People overlook everything he did, mistakenly thinking he came out of nowhere and had no skill. He'd been around for a long time, fought a lot of top opposition and shown some great skill and fought very well for years leading up to the Tyson fight.

Terrible. That's all I have to say.

[joe strong]

Well i guess wins over botha & mccall have him ready...wlad will destroy him...

Pulling up a fight that happened 22 years ago - desperation at its best. You probably weren't around at the time, but Douglas' status as an underdog was not a mirror of his skills but of Tyson's dominance. Douglas would have been a serious contender in today's climate. Pianeta is a crap fight. I have never heard the guys name and I watch a lot of HW boxing. I doubt you had. He's not ranked with any organization and has never fought any note worthy opposition. fres oquendo would have been a far better choice. There's no two ways about that. However, the talent pool and who's available is not exactly deep.
