maxmuslooks like just another stroll in the park on the way to the bank for wladimir.lets be honest there is really nobody in the hw division who has the same kind of skill and athletiscism of the k bros.pianetta couldnt even deck an old buffalo like botha and only get a draw against sosnowski. if u dont have the skill u gotta have the will like corey sanders or mike tyson joe frazier and co. i cant think of any modern day fighter who has that kind of raw attitude ..and pls pls dont talk about tyson fury ok. the best hw bouts are between evenly matched opponents.then u get the kind of action the fans want. why has ufc become so popular? dosnt take much to work that out. thank god somethings happening in the m and sm divisions ..look forward to froch kessler and martinez murray.. Posted April 23, 2013 12:40 amSREDMONDSorry dude are you tellingly that in the last 2 years the BEST opponent that Wlad could find was OLD prior KO victim Thompson??? Posted March 8, 2013 7:00 amMuckaTuna the JahoopaThe Klits are now the Champs and are no longer hopes, but Champs. DuranAgain sred, if the top guys at H/W are unwilling to mix with the undisputed champ, what is he to do…remain idle? You know nothing of the inside workings of the sport, you have never sat in on negotations you know zilch pal. All you have is an opinion, don’t get too full of yourself, you are just another poster here, one with an obvious bias.

Posted March 7, 2013 11:04 amIt’s Me, ErnieOh just SHUT UP SREDMOND… Posted March 7, 2013 10:48 amSREDMONDEric, you seem to lay the blame for the DEAD HW divisions LACK of popularity at the feet of Black Americans yet despite the hype America has around 200 million White people who could step up and support these fighters if they were interesting or exciting? How exactly does the job fall to Black Americans? Whine Whine Whine…. Also there are plenty of Black and Latino fighters who are NOT popular either who’s fault is that? Its the fighters if no one wants to follow you then spice it up or deal with being marginalized.. The Klits are NEVER gonna get traction here fighting Cruisers and Old sparring partners… Sorry but thats just the way it is…. Posted March 7, 2013 10:30 amSREDMONDBears, you really have NO standards and it’s clear that ANYONE the Klits fight is OK no matter what they have NOT DONE?? It’s gone with me and it’s part of the reason that America has no interest in their careers.. If they keep digging up club fighters, cruisers and OLD MEN this is how it will go.. Vitali is already becoming a forgotten man and he has not even officially retired… Woeful!! Posted March 7, 2013 7:17 amhucksterPULEV-WLAD 2013!!!

Go away faster… Posted March 6, 2013 9:53 pmBEARSthere is also the much maligned tony thompson who tons of people wanted to detract from like redmond but tony is probably the best southpaw in the division. a very good boxer and he showed that against price and TOTALLY showed his value against price as well. i always like thompson. he’s a good guy. Im anxious to see what happens in fury vs thompson. Posted March 6, 2013 9:09 pmBEARSERIC-hayes not very dark and he’s also not very active. Moreover, he is always talking about retirement. we will see what stiverne has against arreola its a great test but isnt he canadian? then i like jennings and he’s looking good. mitchel and that other guy who’s always talking but never fighting anywone worth a f*** wilder. They should be unranked. there not fighting anyone of note and mitchel keeps getting jacked up in SERIAL FASHION. dudes about FINISHED BUSINESS Posted March 6, 2013 8:49 pmUnbiased DaneBears well said. this sredmon has no respect at all when going on with his sad agenda.

His racism eats him alive. He pulls this double standard crap out all the time. sredmond is an ugly poch marked faced little racist black dude. nothing more and nothing less. Posted March 6, 2013 8:07 pmBEARSHail to the king!!!! wladimir klitschKO!!!!! listen to the black detractor sredmond!!! its ok for fraud mayweather to cherry pick and come out with an official list and cant even gurantee GREEN canelo a fight to make money but wlad cant do anything right. SREDMOND is still a garbageman i see still peddling the same garbage. LOL. wlads going for the records baby!!! already busting’em up. HEAVYWEIGHTS SON!!!! wlad would kick ANY other boxers A55. Taking on an undefeated fighter in a voluntary. waiting for fury, povetkin, and pulev, and helenius to step up. Wlad ALMOST got soliz. would have been interesting if soliz can loose some weight and get back to where he was at his best. looks doubtful that, that will happen now. Posted March 6, 2013 8:05 pmSREDMONDWlad must be setting up a pension fund for his OLD sparring partners both Thompson and Pianeta were BOTH guys Wlad used to prep for other fighters seriously a STRONG opponent is needed at this point… I mean is this article really trying to sell us on 47 year old McCall and 44 year old Botha? Posted March 6, 2013 6:15 pmSREDMONDWlad has faced 4 REALLY weak opponents in a row and that cannot be changed nor mitigated… Canelo is still in Mayweathers crosshairs but AGAIN Floyd just casually faces PRIME 4 division Champions like Guerrero who just beatdown another PRIME young, former World Champ… Wlad has been fighting OLD men, Cruisers, retreads and nobodies for the past 4 fights… Dispute that and I will break it down in no uncertain terms… Who did FMJ face before Guerrero? Cotto a 3 division then standing Champion and future HOFER who was 4 years YOUNGER than Mayweather and at the time had ONLY one unavenged loss to the Fighter of the Decade (Pacquiao) Wlads recent comp and Mayweathers cannot be compared Wach and Pinatta (pun intended) were absolute nobodies with padded records? beating up OLD juicer Botha@!!! HAHAHAHAHA! Posted March 6, 2013 4:00 pmDuranSome of you “experts” have no idea what you’re talking about(sred)K2 has made offers to all the top 10 guys….only Pianeta stepped up. Is that Wlads fault? NO. Pulev, Povetkin, Fury etc. amnagers will not throw them to certain defeat at this time, perhaps later this year or maybe next. One thing we do know…Manny WAS willing to face Floyd as is Canelo. #doublestandard Posted March 6, 2013 3:40 pmAnonymousALI ALI ALI ALI ALI Posted March 6, 2013 1:08 pmAnonymousTHE KILTOCHKO ARE JUST 2 BIG DUM HW BUMS BEATING NOBODY Posted March 6, 2013 1:08 pmAnonymousTHESE WHITE HOPES KEEP FIGHTING BUM AFTER BUM THE HW DIVISION STINKS NOT ONE LEGIMATE FIGHTER IN THEIR THESE BUMS WOULD HAVE CRUSHED BACK IN THE 60 70 80 90 Posted March 6, 2013 1:07 pmIt’s Me, ErnieI should give Klit a break, after all he did clean out the cruiserweight division.

Wlаdimir I’m coming for You!! Pulеv-Klitschko_2013/2014- knowallSweedish bull crap fan. You talk so much crap. How the hell do you know that all thoose guys are avoiding the champs. What a nob you are Posted March 6, 2013 10:09 am213PULЕV WILL DЕТR0NЕ MiatestomperThe Klitschkos are the best at crushing Chocolate and disposing of it. Posted March 6, 2013 9:55 amLightweight MikeSo whatever happened to Arreola? Probably Mental, life stress thing I guess. Hope he fights again. Posted March 6, 2013 9:33 amrodGod I would love to see Price vs Wilder. Fury vs Thompson would also be interesting Posted March 6, 2013 9:30 amrodYeap wlad will have to face Pulev and Fury in 2014. First he will face a 6’5 undefeated southpaw. OK this is not the fight we were all waiting for and this guy has a padded resume but who else was out there. At least it is not another blown up cruiser or short fat guy. Pianeta is on parr with Wach and that was at least entertaining. Posted March 6, 2013 9:21 amLightweight MikeWell Primo Carnera was the champ way back when. I can’t think of an Italian fighting for JT154lbsChampYou guys are hilarious. If all goes to plan by mid 2014 Wlad will have beaten Pulev and probably Jennings. Doubt pove gets in the ring. Either way “dont fight Pinata fight jennings” Then after he whups on both of those guys you will say they were never that good. Then in 2015 you will say wlad needs to stop fighting chumps. Just accept the fight i dont like it either but oh well he can stay busy instead of fight once a year like the resst of the best in the sport. Posted March 6, 2013 8:55 amSwedish Boxing FanFrancesco Pianeta, well this was somewhat of a dissapointment but then again, he at least Pianetta dares to face Wladimir Klitschko in the ring unlike Alexander Povetkin, Chris Arreola, Tomaz Adamek, Tyson Fury, Odlianer Solis and more. They run and run from Wladimir. So lets see if this fight will be any good. Posted March 6, 2013 7:48 amMikeonly seen two fights and came here to comment about wk…yeah right! btw I would ban you for calling deadman sanders a bum. Posted March 6, 2013 6:18 amHappyboyMike – only saw two fights by Klitschkos one against that bum Saunders and LL on both they were terrible turned me off watching HW forever, don’t even wanna talk about bums such as Haye and the rest, they all just pure garbage fights. Posted March 6, 2013 5:01 amSVDCDrago has a good point below. Posted March 6, 2013 4:46 amMikeyeah pulev – wlad is a good fight! can’t wait! Posted March 6, 2013 4:01 amhucksterPulev-Wlad 2013! Posted March 6, 2013 3:26 amMikeTHUS, ONCE IN 20 YEARS AN ITALIAN IS FIGHTING FOR THE HEAVYWEIGHT CROWN!!! WOW Pianeta picked up a lucky ticket! Posted March 6, 2013 3:17 amMikeyes, adamek is an obvious ducker. I thought he is a warrior. Clearly scared of pulev. no respect.

Posted March 6, 2013 2:31 amFight AficionadoOne thing about Damiani vs Mercer is the title Mercer held was always called the “lightly regarded WBO” belt back then. Now the WBO is just as respected as the IBF, WBC and WBA. They all suck. Posted March 6, 2013 1:17 amMikelol! Posted March 6, 2013 1:12 amFight Aficionado“CAN SOMEONE RECAL WHEN THE LAST TIME AN ITALIAN BEEN FIGHTING FOR THE HEAVYWEIGHT CROWN?” – Francesco Damiani vs Ray Merer in the mid ’90s is the last Italian I can recall. It was for Mercer’s WBO belt. Posted March 6, 2013 1:12 amDG“CAN SOMEONE RECAL WHEN THE LAST TIME AN ITALIAN BEEN FIGHTING FOR THE HEAVYWEIGHT CROWN?” Sure, Rocky Balboa in 80th. Posted March 6, 2013 1:10 amMikeITALY IS INVOLVED IN HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP FIGHT – IT’S A BIG DEAL ITSELF! CAN SOMEONE RECAL WHEN THE LAST TIME AN ITALIAN BEEN FIGHTING FOR THE HEAVYWEIGHT CROWN?! I THINK PIANETA IS THE FIRST ONE!!! It’s history in making guys! At least for Italian boxing! Posted March 5, 2013 11:07 pmDick BulgerCool,..another Wlad- HW TITLE FIGHT. You do not see the dummy Haye staying busy like he should be, if he thinks he is the Man. Wlad takes on another un beaton 28 year old 6’5″ lefty. Haye would be afraid to fight this guy. I love it, and later in the year you will see 2 more Wlad fights with top contenders. Maybe Pulev, or Fury, or Helenius, or all three!!!. Posted March 5, 2013 10:50 pmUnbiased DaneYou really gotta laugh at the Klitschko haters and their ridiculous complaining. Who ever they fight they complain about them being too old, too inexperienced, too small, or they even blaim them for ducking fighters, but they fail to come up with some names, ( Povetkin is a joke. Pulev will son happen) as if there are someone out there who has the the slightest chance against them. Its more like there are at the moment 2 or 3 fighters who could but up a good fight untill they finally go down. Posted March 5, 2013 8:11 pmLennox Lewis Shannon BriggsTo the poster below. Yes I do notice how the Klitschkos have a knack for sending fighters into retirement. Or at the very least, sending them to a place where they are no where the fighter they were BEFORE getting violated (sam peter, solis come immediately to mind). Such is the lasting effects of their BEAT-DOWNS. Both share GOAT status Posted March 5, 2013 7:31 pmIBRAIGIMOV C.BROCKHe has to stay busy. No one really wants to fight him thats got any chance but you have to stay active. Ali fought some pasties when he had to stay busy (lorenzo zanon comes to mind and some non boxing atheletes even). Wlad is so far ahead of the world everyone is a joke or scared, Notice how some of them never box again? Posted March 5, 2013 7:08 pmMikebtw, all of these ESB biatch ass always whining trolls are watching EVERY K fight and will watch this one too, and another one!!! :) Posted March 5, 2013 6:40 pmMikestop whining! a normal opponent! Tall 6’5, undefeated, will bring a lot of attention from Italy. that’s already not bad. remember what lewis or tyson have been fighting with! low-class like botha, Golota, tua, rahman, savareese for god sake!!! so, pianetta isn’t any worse than these guys! Will be good and watchable fight with a knockout ending! Life’s good! Posted March 5, 2013 6:34 pmRobotThere is no one left standing . Wlad has to reach deep to find a worthy opponent. This guy is undefeated. All the regular moaners, you would not be happy no matter who he fought anyway. Posted March 5, 2013 6:08 pmrepQuote of the week: “shamless record padding cash grabbing lame ass twat” Posted March 5, 2013 5:36 pmbadgerWatched some pianeto on you tube. He puts punches together well, but is a bit stiff and upright . wlad should land punches easily on him. Wlad chased haye around the ring, while haye fell a lot. Who wants to see that again? Thanks for the info on povetkin. Posted March 5, 2013 5:26 pmxxxHe had to fight David Haye.David Haye is the only man that can beat him.His first victory over haye was not very convincing, he won the fight with the jab landing very few power punches. Posted March 5, 2013 4:23 pmDrago2 years ago, “contender list” was: Mitchell (brutally kayoed by Wlad TRAINER), Helenius (embarrased by Chisora), Haye (sheesh), Price (dropped by an out of shape two times Wlad victim), Solis (jelly knee fatso), Wach (done), Pianetta (next victim), Char (done by Vitali), Arreola (racking up wins against club fighters, done by Vitali), Adamek (brutalized by Vitali), Povetkin (avoiding Wlad like the plague for years now), Boytsov (glass hands). Now everyone cries Pulev and Fury and Jenning like Wlad is ready for the taking. See ya in another 2 years. Posted March 5, 2013 4:08 pmSREDMONDWlad is fighting ANOTHER scrub and all the nationalism and racism cannot mask not excuse that… Its his 4th suspect opponent in a ROW, the European guys that Wach and Pianeta beat are NOT even players in Europe so that excuse goes out of the window.. Mormeck is not worth mention he was a DEAD body and Thompson had been stopped already and hand only been fighting guys OUT of the Top 10 and Top 20 during his respite between knockouts..Expecting real boxing fans to applaud these type of bouts is NOT realistic Posted March 5, 2013 4:06 pmElanore the HagAn Itlaian zombie to depacitate Posted March 5, 2013 3:20 pmericIRomeo I agree as of late the klitschkos have been fighting bums, i was ok with one bum fight after the david haye fight because W. Klitschko had the nuts to fight david, however, if the klitschkos were black I belive that they would be more excepted. Americans are sore that we dont have an american heavy. Look the klitschkos have beat up every black heavy weight. big guys like shannon brigs, tall guys like tont the tiger, up and comming guys like the 29 ans 0 chambers and by the way their all american and black so just keep hating that a white man rules the heavys you cry baby soar loose Posted March 5, 2013 2:39 pmAnonymouswlad and his bum ass brother keep fighting bum after bum after bum the hw of today are pathetic Posted March 5, 2013 2:38 pmFight AficionadoI didn’t know Pianeta had cancer. So did Anthony Dirrell. Strange how people in their 20s are getting cancer nowadays. Anyhow this is an interesting fight as far as the young contenders stepping up. He’s undefeated and has a great amateur background. Posted March 5, 2013 2:08 pmdcrAnother pointless match up. Posted March 5, 2013 2:01 pmAnonymousWlad is just giving this guy a good payday — for getting beat up and KO’d. Posted March 5, 2013 1:56 pmtop hatBadger… Povetkin is next WBA ordered this one and either WBO or IBF have ordered pulev after, prob early dec or late november Posted March 5, 2013 1:21 pmTylerlol only Wlad and Vitali catch slack for beating up undefeated up-and-comers. Dick BulgerGood tune up because the manditories will be coming this year. Pulev, Arreola, Haye, Povetkin or whomever is on top of the charts. Wlad is not ducking anybody. Posted March 5, 2013 1:19 pmCheese cake in MontrealCan’t wait…. Posted March 5, 2013 1:16 pmdrxI heard rumours that wlad was gonna fight jennings on hbo, but guess it’s good it didn’t happen so jennings can get some more tv time and fights Posted March 5, 2013 12:39 pmbadgerI do not know much of pineta, but I will try to watch this. What happened to a Povetkin match? Posted March 5, 2013 12:39 pmdrxIf wlad gonna fight povetkin and pulev this year, it’s not so bad he’s figthting pianata. It’s a stay busy fight against a big undefeated southpaw in good shape. Posted March 5, 2013 12:38 pmAnonymousANOTHER BUM Posted March 5, 2013 11:35 amSVDCI am a Wlad fan too but as I remember it Wlad asked for the Povetkin fight to be postponed. Doing so only to have Pianeta in between sounds bad to me too… I do think though that Fury and SOlis and Arreola are not wanting to fight Wlad right now. Fury screams after Vitali, Solis pulled out of the IBF eliminator tournament, and Arreola did the same with Stiverne… Posted March 5, 2013 11:28 amqwertExciting times Posted March 5, 2013 11:18 amIt’s Me, ErnieQuote of the week: “shamless record padding cash grabbing lame ass twat” Posted March 5, 2013 10:25 amknowallKos….. Wlad has to fight povetkin and pulev this year as they are the mand contenders for the WBA and IBF. This is his vol defence so dont worry the big fights will happen this year. Posted March 5, 2013 10:13 amkosciuszkoM, AnonymousCorrection: Pianeta is in fact 6’5″ ( pretty much Wlad’s size) and not 6’3″ as the article states. He’s also an undfeated southpaw. Not a bad voluntary at all imo. Some people need to cut Wlad some slack. Pulev, Povetkin, Fury (if he remains undefeated) will all eventually share the ring with Wlad, so pipe down Posted March 5, 2013 9:26 amJT154lbsChampThis wouldn’t bother me so much if he fought better comp last yr. Hopefully the povetkin fight goes to plan. If he had enuff 2013 left id like to see him fight pulev. Posted March 5, 2013 9:19 amknowallTo be fair he was never going to fight anyone great for his vol defence. After this he has to fight povetkin then pulev so could be a tough year. I wonder if povetkin will have a vol defence before wlad Posted March 5, 2013 8:44 amMbig fan of klitschko but this is disapointing..
