Ali just got knocked down and learnt not to allow it to happen again.
See the difference between a truly great fighter and a very good one. :)
LOL Wladimir learnt that lesson, not to gas out, against Puritty.
He was very experienced and knew exactly what he was doing against Brewster.
NOBODY just gasses out after a few rounds of what was nothing more than a light sparring session for Wladimir against Brewster. There was a far more obvious reason revealed than that.
Again, I did not say it SHOULD be changed to NC, I just think it's ironic how it's always brought up but not the fact that your fighter was badly hurt by a 180lb bum with no excuse.

You know exactly what I meant, however the level of idiocy that thrives on this forum never stops amazing me so I'll break it down to you are like a child.
1 - For Wlads personal wealth, Pianeta was perfect, by being undefeated and having beaten Oliver McCall (again old) he had a way of selling a fight with an unknown fighter.
2 - For HW boxing he was a joke of an opponent for the champ and did not belong in the ring with Wlad.
Now I hate being harsh with people but there is no way you can think that Wladimir Klitschko, undefeated in like a decade, holding 4 world titles (3 majors), coming off the back of a decent win against a fighter who is at least a known contender at world level and can pick any fighter he wants to fight.... Picks Pianeta....?
It's ridiculous that he doesn't always aim to fight the top fighters in the division.
If i remember correctly wladimir was contracted to have a fight on the date of the pianeta fight and a lot of the other highly ranked guys were busy at that time(arreola and stiverne were fighting around that time, ) and how many of them would have taken it is another question a fair few contenders do like padding their records a lot before going up against wladimir and I think the wbc belt mandatory spot was still up for grabs then. In my opinion a good few guys were more interested in chasing the "easier" wbc belt then so either wouln't have taken a wladimir fight unless they were paid a lot, maybe k2 shoudl have offered more monies but I don't think from who was availible at the time there was anyone really worth it for wladimir.. So I don't think for a business and stay busy fight pianeta was that bad of an opponent out of what was availible...
Mormeck was a terrible choice though that was really bad.. That was just done so wladimir could get an easy mark for his 50th ko... Although mormecks punch stats are pretty hilarious, he was on A-Forces level that night :S
