Klitschko-Pianeta

He should of been granted his no.1 one spot when Adamek quit out on him. Adamek wouldn't fight him knowing he would of been handed a loss. That means Pulev WON the elimintor. Wlad could have TWO good fights lined up but he's cherry picking nobody's for an easy win and easy money instead. Let him do that but he should be stripped of all belts.....He is a disgrace of a champion.

 

I think in retrospect, it's a far better accomplishment for him than Bean or Mivrovic etc.

Wlad can only hope guys like Wach and Pianeta continue their careers and build a legacy of their own unlike the afformentioned Bean and Mivrovic.

In hindsight, Vitali's defense against Charr appear to have been a good one since Charr is now being touted as a future star, and a potential contender for his vacated belt later this yr.:think

 

Show me the quote where he said that? He said he he is ready to fight Wlad after he got past Adamek. He didn't even have to get in the ring to beat Adamek.

 

I would´nt agree with that. Price got stopped by a worldclass-opponent, that doesn´t make him a bum. Wladimir got stopped in similar Fashion by Corrie Sanders and look where he is now. I wouldn´t say that Price will be the next ruler at heavyweight, but i don´t see why to completely write him off now. This can happen to anyone. As for Pianeta being better than him, Pianeta never fought a wordclass opponent and you can make an argument that both Duhaupas and Sosnowski beat him, but got robbed. Imo those two are exactly the level that Pianeta is able to compete on at his best. He doesn´t have any special tools to compete at worldclass. Neither is his defence good enough nor does he have the kind of power to really hurt his opponent with one punch. And the last thing is something you can´t take away from David Price. Even if he has defensive flaws, with that kind of power you can´t write him off.

 

Thing is Price (before Thompson) would have been a better scalp than Pianeta.

 

The whole point of the eliminator was to fight his way up to Wlad......Now that he got to the top you're saying he doesn't want the fight? Bull****.

 

World heavyweight star Wladimir Klitschko has postponed a keenly awaited face-off with European champion Kubrat Pulev aware the risk of defeat is high, the Bulgarian's manager has declared.

"Yes, I really think he is scared. Mostly because Kubrat is in excellent shape right now. Of course, he does not like us. That's for sure," Hagen Doering said in an interview for Tema Sport magazine.

"Wladimir Klitschko has the right to delay the match, but not for long. He has to defend his title every six months, otherwise stands the risk of losing it," he added.

A day earlier Klitschko's headquarters issued a statement, saying that a match against Kubrat Pulev is not on their agenda and it can be expected to be scheduled in a year at the earliest.

"I think Wladimir has become aware that at the moment Kubrat is the strongest and most dangerous opponent that he can face off," Doering said.

 

Im aware of all that......If Pulev isn't a mandtory now then Thompson wasn't either. Therefor Wlad has been cherry picking since Haye and is a disgrace to boxing.
