By Scott Gilfoid: Former WBA/WBA heavyweight champion David Haye was less than thrilled with IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko’s opponent Francesco Pianeta for last Saturday night in Wladimir’s easy 6th round TKO win over Pianeta at the SAP Arena in Mannheim, Germany.
Haye said he’d never heard of the 6’5” Pianeta before, and he thinks Wladimir could have knocked Pianeta out in the 1st round if he had chosen to.
Haye said to ESPN “I never heard of him before. I had to check his record and it was pretty shocking to be honest. The only standout name on his record is Frans Botha, who he struggled to be on points…he [Wladimir] would never fight a sparring partner that would give him any kinds of problems.
