Which heavyweight challenger was worse?

[joe strong]

none were worthy of a title shot but a break down of who did what...

leapai beat boytsov in an eliminator but boytsov didn't beat anyone & was not a legit #1 contender. leapai got his #9 WBO ranking beating a guy who was 13-5-1 for the vacant WBO asia pacific & oriental titles which were vacated buy monte barrett or shane Cameron. he lost to yan kulikov 12-2, banden qui 2-2, colin Wilson 33-23 & kingpin. he got a gift vs travis walker too. he had wins over owen beck & the dingaling man. the boytsov fight was suppose to be a tune up for boytsov & leapai pulled the upset but because leapai picked up those 2 vacant WBO regional titles he was ranked #9 so they made the fight an eliminator. #9 because he beat a 13-5-1 guy...

pianeta beat some wash up fighters of the past botha & McCall. he beat journeymen zack page & Robert Hawkins. he beat matt skelton & had a draw with albert sosnowski. he also beat 2 undefeated fighters johan duhaupas 17-0 & mike marrone 18-0. those 2 are not great but they were at the same point in their careers & stepping up.

wach had wins over journeymen tye fields, Jason gavern, kevin mcbride & he beat Christian hammer.

pianeta & wach were undefeated even though their level of competition wasn't great but they never lost to guys with a 2-2 record & trialhorse journeymen... leapai did. leapai showed the importance of winning regional belts. charr is doing the same thing to gather rankings now.

They're all awful but Leapai was the worst of the bunch

[ßringer]

It's impossible to pick the worst Wlad opponent. They're all ****.

[bojangles1987]

Leapai was a disgrace. I can't believe how bad he was. The other guys at least threw punches and didn't gas in half a round.

just finished watching the fight.

Had his feet planted in cement and no offense at all. I mean, none. Did he even land a punch?

He was the very definition of a human punching bag. It was truly awful to watch.

[IronDanHamza]

I really am sick of these fights for Wlad. It's ridiculous.

Mormeck, Wach, Pineta, Lepai all in a short space of time? It's ridiculous.

None of those are in the Top 10 nor close.

What's funny is that for the half a round he actually managed to slip the jab and work inside, he had Wlad clinching every ten seconds. Then he just sort of stood still and threw 5 punches a round because he didn't have the energy for anything else. Compubox was 147 to 10 in punches landed, and not only does that not surprise me but I'm wondering when the hell Leapai landed 10 punches.

All the people praising it, come on. Of course Wlad could dance and throw combos against someone doing nothing. It's like praising Floyd Mayweather for beating up on...you know what, I can't even think of an equivalent. I can't say Paulie or John Molina or someone like that because those fighters are all better and more proven than Leapai.

voting leapai. he had no redeeming qualities. at least wach's chin held up.


in fairness, i don't remember much of the pianeta fight. why would i?

Wach's roided up chin was crazy. Dude took bombs.

[EZ BASH]

Wach wasn't as bad as the other two tbh. At least he gave himself a chance by roiding and loading up.
