You are who you fight. He cant even be classed as Elite anymore. Untill he does he's only as good as his opponents.
When was the last time he faced an A level fighter. In fact he never fought an A level fighter in his whole career.

Makes Louis' mid-years as a heavyweight champ schedule look fucking grueling.

The problem with this fight is the poor precedent it sets. A fighter (however deserving out of the ring and in sparring) can face shot or plain poor competition, go undefeated, and then get a shot at the champ without having been really tested.

I had the same complaints about Wach. He exceeded expectations, but then failed the drug test (and worse). Let's see how Pianeta does.

I guess I don't really have a problem with it as long as Wlad is facing at least 1 legit mandatory a year. But I wish boxing would structure itself better to force better matchups. The Mormeck/Thompson/Wach run should not have happened.

He's a punchbag he got battered from pillar to post by Wlad, if he didn't have such a big lantern chin he'd have been KTFO quicker than Tony Thompson.

Just how many nobodies, bums, has-beens and cruiserweights do the Klits have to fight for their own fans to start asking questions? The HW division is awful, just plain fucking awful.

Totally untested and very green each of them going into the fight....

Williams had 1 decent win in Tillis
Witherspoon only decent 1 is Snipes
Bonecrusher has a good one over Bruno...but then lost 4 of his next 5.....

All 3 were Extreme hot and cold fighters as well
