Re: Wladimir Klitschko vs Francesco Pianeta
Doesn't matter who Wlad fights he'll catch hell for it. People just love to hate the guy....I'm sorry he's not "from tha hood" I'm sorry he's "a clean cut white guy" I'm sorry he's "not American " but everyone hung up on that bullshit can just help themselves to a big ol' bowl of "get the fuck over it!"

Wlad is a quality fighter and it just disappoints me to see him fight someone with zero chance of competing. Theres no intrigue in this fight.Originally Posted by El Kabong

I feel the same way. It seems like everyone blames the Klitschkos for the sorry state the heavyweight division is in.
It is not the Klitschkos fault that there is a lack of quality heavyweights, and I sure don't blame them for taking advantage of the situation as long as they can.

Re: Wladimir Klitschko vs Francesco Pianeta
I may be the only one but I like the Wlad vs Pianeta fight for a multiple of reasons:
1. Pianeta's size is equal to Wlad on all fronts, gone will be Wlads overwhelming reach advantage.
2. Pianeta has a nice jab, is it good enough to nullify Wlads probably not, but does propose some difficulty.
3. Pianeta's a a Lefty and Wlad doesn't really like big Lefty's
4. If Wlad is tested how will he react without Manny to keep his head on straight?
I do know that Pianeta has not shown great power and has recently had some lackluster performances but at least this fight presents enough questions to make me want to pay for it....

Pianeta has never been down either as a pro or as an amateur.
He was world amateur youth heavyweight champion. Francesco is not flashy, but he's sturdy and has good technical skills. I thought he was finished when I heard he had cancer a few years ago, but his treatment was successful. Pianeta is ranked #14 on BoxRec and #12 by the IBO computer. The highest ranked opponent he's defeated was ranked #18 at the time by the IBO computer.
Heavyweight - Top 100 IBO Rankings - International Boxing Organization
Timothy Bradley's next opponent Provodnikov is ranked BoxRec #24 in a lighter weight division than Bradley (he's never fought at 147 before). The highest ranked fighter Provodnikov ever defeated was ranked #58 by the IBO computer! Even though Bradley in contrast to Provodnikov is generally ranked in the top 10 P4P, nobody is complaining about Bradley-Provodnikov.
Why are some people so harshly critical of Klitschkos?
