Comments Thread For: Wladimir Klitschko Vows: I Will Show Pianetta His Limits

[Weltschmerz]

What you mean? Don't take away from him the only thing in his life that he loves

What is this sorry mofo gonna do when the bros retire? Nobody left to hate on. He's gonna go to some Ukraine parliament web forum and keep trolling on Vitali.

Pulev, Fury, Haye, Povetkin .... so many guys he could be fighting that would have me pumped, but instead we get an ex sparring partner that can't even stop an 82 yearold francois botha ... sigh

Stop complaining.

Is Wlad a one fight per year, PPV fighter like Mayweather? NO, he is pretty active and the guys you mentioned are coming up next. All in due time.

All Fury has to do is not give in to Wilder's taunts, hold on to his ranking and he will be next. Well maybe after Povetkin. That is if Alexander doesn't find a way to chicken out of the fight again. But I doubt it since he is in his mid 30's and can't afford to drop his "regular WBA Title". This is it for him. Boxing's grim reaper has come to pay him a visit.


By the way, THE FACT that he is NOT fighting the guys you mentioned is what makes them attractive opponents now. They've had time to build themselves up.

[cupocity303]

His choice of opponents in the last 18 months have not been as good as they should have been for the HW champion of the world. It's as simple as that.

Although I'm not entirely sure that this is true, IT'S STILL A GOOD THING.

The fact that you think that he is "ducking" or avoiding certain fighters, is what will make them good victories later on. If these guys keep winning, and building up their record, they will be stronger challengers on paper and we won't have to talk about how Fury or Pulev are just the same as Pianetta is.

Wlad best fight is against Haye and he fought a very disciplined fight and I give him credit for using his jab and keeping Haye at bay by running away, he did what he had to, i'm sure they will meet for a rematch sooner or later

Since then he has fought bums or oldies with minimal risk, I wouldn't mind seeing Fury against Wlad

Even Fury, Price, Pulev and Wilder would knock out Pianetta

[cupocity303]

If Haye had fought Pianeta, oh, you wouldn't have let it go for years. Pianeta may be undefeated,

Yup you are 100% right, they would be saying Haye is fighting a sparring partner who was beat up by Wlad, they would tell us that Pianeta has fought nobodies,

Haye is a 20-something wins fighter. He still has rookie type numbers. Wladimir is almost at 60 wins.

Even though Haye hasn't accomplished squat in comparison to Wlad, he is acting as if he is Floyd Mayweather. Like he only has to fight once ever year or two. So yes, if he is gonna make rare appearances, it better be someone good.

This doesn't apply to Wlad, who has basically cleaned out the 2007-2011 crop of contenders and has went on a rinse-repeat mode by knocking them off again. The new crop (Pulev, Fury, Povetkin [<---he would've been part of the 2007-11 crop had he not ducked Wlad]; and soon Deonte Wilder) is just starting to come into their own. It's a good thing that these match up's have had time to marinade. If he had beaten Fury a year or two ago, it wouldn't nearly been as good. And Pulev is earning his stripes instead of being rushed into a title shot without having beaten anybody.

Hopefully Hayden is there...mhm!

Haye was a amazing cruiserweight and earned his respect, won titles, he moved up to HW and gives most of these HW's a run for their money. He holds devastating power in both hands and isn't a natural HW, yet he's a danger to these gigantic natural HW;s.

Haye can sell out stadiums, so the fact is he has the right to act the way he does because people pay to see him fight. Wlads biggest pay day is against Haye and his second biggest payday will be in a rematch with Haye, and if Vitali fights Haye, that will also be his biggest payday since Lennox.

Like it or not Haye sells and even more so now because of his stint in the reality tv programme and after knocking out Chisora and showing Vitali how it should be done.

[cupocity303]

I'll defend it. It's a voluntary defense against a prime, undefeated fighter. Nothing wrong with that.

Exactly.

Floyd Mayweather can fight 29-0 Leonard Bundu as well, providing he fights twice or three times per year, defending his Welterweight Title.

Wlad could not fight Pianetta if he was a PPV once-per-year type champion. He would be stripped of his titles one by one anyway (Yes Jack Demsey, I'm talking to you.)

All in good time people. It used to be that there is literally nobody for the brothers to fight and that they need to retire or fight each other. Look what has happened sine. The tune has slowly but maturely changed. Every post has Pulev, Fury, Povetkin's name in it. All undefeated fighters. Not fighting them has been the best thing that has happened to Wlad.

Explain how I'm trolling?

Pianeta is a laughable defence of a title and I, like many others, disapprove of this. That's not trolling. It's an opinion and a widespread one too. It's ones like yourself and the alts that ruin it for the brothers with your extreme bias and double standards.

Ehh???

Where have I ever said he was ducking anyone? You might want to do your homework next time.
