Pianeta had never been beaten, never been hurt, never been down and people complain that Wlad stopped him in 6?!?! Jealous are we? Good on Pianeta for fighting hard, he's a cancer survivor and a seemingly decent dude. Povetkin won't last as long.

Video of the EPIX telecast:
Wladimir Klitschko vs Francesco Pianeta - YouTube
Floyd Mayweather Jnr is going to cop some shit in a few hours regardless of what he does and he's one of the best to lace up, like ever!Quote:

Wlad did as Wlad does but Panchetta was several leagues out of his depth. He had one arm that worked kinda OK.
I dont think thats complaining. Thats just fact as I see it.
Possibly longer. Wlad has a higher KO ratio than Mike Tyson, many of Tyson's fights went the distance.Quote:

Wlad has fought and beaten more southpaws than any other heavyweight I can recall.
Guys dont play that card please, you sound like Frank Warren trying to flog a Ricky Hatton opponent to Joe Bloggs back in the day ;D 'Never been beat, knocked down etc etc'
He was toilet regardless of how nice a chap he is. He tried though, which is more than some can say.
Pianeta is a good guy but when your fighting a near 50 yr old Botha...you better NOT be getting dropped. Wlad hammered a nail, thats it. This was a gimme.
yes that is true :S turns out pianeta wasnt too great after all, but at least wladimir doesnt seem to be dodging anyone, he fought haye he will fight povetkin if he ever agrees to it :S, just got to stay busy sometimes, pianeta wasnt fat or old and he was in good shape so i dont have much of a problem with this fightQuote:

His next fight with Povetkin? Yes, I read about the $23M offer. However, for a defense such as Pianeta, how much does Wladimir make?Quote:

Also Wladimir is looking to break a record here man 14 title defenses, 11 more to go...so cut the guy some slack here, he wants to stay busy. Plus the Pianeta fight never would have happened had Povetkin just taken his beating like a man instead of ducking & dodging the inevitable!
It's a shame that the 2 best heavyweights in this era will never fight each other. If they ever did, I think people would give the winner a lot more credit and actually admit they could have competed and won bug fights in the 80's and 90's.
