    .....a one sided beat down of a formerly undefeated fighter??

    Wlad is a very technical fighter. That style isn't for everyone, BUT most successful fighters in general (heavyweights or not) use their skills and physical abilities to their advantage. Tomy Hearns was best when he usedhis height & reach, Tyson when he was in a crouch and made himself a smaller target, Holyfield when he was in close and applying constant pressure & using his head & elbows.

    People hate on Wlad for fighting the style that makes him most successful and well to be honest it makes you guys seem like poor losers....Wlad has fought bigger competition, but they aren't as skilled as he is it's as plain as that. Wlad is the most skilled heavyweight out there and his dominant, why should he handicap himself in order to please people who wouldn't be his fans anyway?
    I agree, I'm not a big fan of the Klits, but it's not their fault that the division is less than stellar.
    Should they change the way they fight, to make the fights more exciting for us?

    So who's next up to the plate in the "Next Challenge to Wlad" sweepstakes??


    • David Price lost by TKO to Thompson and took a huge step back.
    • Tyson Fury knocked out Steve Cunningham, but in the process created more question marks than he answered, as far as his chances against a Wlad.
    • Helenius is injured and it's anybody's guess when he'll be back.
    • Deontay Wilder keeps fighting bums off the street, and his timetable might not mesh with Wlad, who eventually has to retire.
    • Arreola is finally fighting Stiverne... but Arreola is a Vitali retread and I'm not sure how he'd do against Wlad.

    After Wlad dispatches the great Francesco Pianeta..............
    Who's next?

    It doesn't matter, just another W for Wlad...though a fight vs the winner of Arreola-Stiverne is most interesting in my opinion. Perhaps he could coax Valuev out of retirement?
