Smarter than what? He makes a totally valid point. This is a horrible fight and it's the fourth one in a row. Sooner or later your "who else is there to fight?" card is going to run out. No HW era can be this devoid of viable contenders, and if it is then one has to look at Wladimir's dominant title reign in a different light. Seriously, Marco Huck would have been a better choice than Pianteta.
Pianeta is a good fighter! I just dont get it why people make him to a bum just because he fight Wladimir! Of course he is not the best... but people really think that Wladimir fights a top contender in a VOLUNTARY fight? The top contenders are smart! They know that they can get a mandatory position! Why should they fight as a voluntary. It would be funny if Wladimir knocks Hucks ass out... but wont happen... Wladimir will continue to face ALL his mandatories and people still will complain about him.
Let me guess. You've never seen the man fight. You probably just went on youtube and looked at his highlights. :deal
This shows me that you dont know anything about Huck! A fighter who was KOed by Cunningham? Lost against old Arslan? Who is not the best in this Cruiserweight division? Has low boxing skills? It only would be a better choice because many people want to see Hucks ass beaten up.
I did see him fight when he was still with Sauerland! People who think top contenders fight in Voluntary fights dont know anything about boxing. Sauerland almost never lets theire fighters fight in Voluntary fights in every divison!!!! Pianeta is a good boxer if you cant see it it is your problem not mine. **** is getting boring with all these people complaining that Pianeta is a bum although they never watched more than two fights of him or they just look at his record!
Pianeta's accomplishments: undefeated in the ring 12 round draw with best opponent faced, Albert Sosnowski. Consecutive wins over Oliver McCall and Frans Botha, a combined 90 years old. Beat a great jouneyman of our time, Zack Page. 2000's HW's, the above = title shot I will say that his current streak of Mormeck, Thompson II, Wach, and Pianeta is one of the ATG worst streaks in HW title history.
Because he is a ****! Talking **** all day! Has problems in his division but he wants to fight the Klitschkosatsch Also he gets many many "close" victories on the cards. Last time against Arslan (who many think won the fight against Huck). He talks a lot but cant back it up!
I have a question... wich fighter would you like to see in a voluntary fight and who is a lot better than Pianeta and who would take the fight (remember Sauerland dont lets theire fighters fight as a voluntary!!!!!!)
Sonowski would have been a better opponent, hell if Valuev came out of retirement after 3 years, he'd be better.
Def not Sosnowski, who just looked utterly horrible in Prizefighter, but yes I'd actually rather see the Valuev circus fight even with him 4 years removed from fighting over Pianeta, which is pathetic to say.
