Come on man. Who the **** is this guy? What is Wlad doing? He's makig himself look stupid with these defences Pianeta Wach Mormeck Thompson Seriously. These are four absolutely disgraceful fights. I do not think I have ever seen a boxer I rate as highly face such absolutely cruddy opposition for 1 fight, maybe there was no other possible opposition for 2 fights, maybe noone was availible. a stretch but hey, **** happens 3 fights....really, theres noone better that he could face, fair enough, thompson was mandatory But 4, 4 straight fights against no hope bums is not on How can I not give a **** about who the heavyweight champ fights, for 4 fights in a row? Is there SERIOUSLY that much of a lack of depth in the division? I always here people here try to tell me the division is no worse than any other, then how come the top guy is fighting people who are absolutely middle of the road (or worse), undeserving no hopers? Is there not a single legit fighter that a fight could have been made with over the last two years?
He's barely in the top20, has never beaten a top10ranked opponent & shouldnt be anywhere near a title fight. However, as usual all the Klitfans are full of praise for this untested nobody & will get all excited when Wlad jabs, grabs & then finally throws a right hand & wins late on. Its another Klitschko mismatch I wont be watching.
David Haye, Tony Thompson and Tyson Fury are in the Ring's top 10 right now. So the answer to your question is YES. It's the absolute pits.
I think the contenders are worse for not wanting to fight him or any of the other contenders. They just want that vacant wbc strap
yep, there is talent in the HW division, its just contenders dont wanna fight the champ, the heavyweight championship suppose to be the most prestigous, in the past fighters would do anything to get a shot, now everyone just wants to fight bums until they get a mandatory and a pay day. And also the champ doesnt wanna fight the best, he wants to keep the belts forever without any risk, i mean 0 risk.
I would have prefered any of these for this paticular fight. Povetkin Pulev Solis Helenius Huck Yoan Pablo Hernandez Probably in that order too. Fury Boytsov Jennings These I would have at a similar level to the Italian but would prefer to see against Waldo rather than he.
Pianeta is undefeated and ranked. So was Wach. Thompson had earned the rematch, as sad as that is. The division is that poor. Mormeck was really a disgrace.
