I just find his boxing style puts me to sleep, but watching him is healthier than using sleeping pills.

But if they were to put aside their racism against Europeans, view the fighters objectively, OBVIOUSLY Wlad is the much more exciting fighter.

Is Tunney right???

Shattered Jaw

Kid Lavine?

Whoever that guy is - they are talking out their arse. Ali produced some amazing spectacles.

I watched The Rumble In The Jungle the other day and my jaw was on the floor for half the fight. Amazing - and not even his best.

Thats all about preference; opinion. Anyway, Ali was alot more exciting in my opinion.

I'd rather watch Ali talk then Wlad fight; no offense.

wlad had some exciting performances in the past, but after his ko loses he takes too long and is too carefull. the man his size and punching power should be lumbering guys around the ring.

dont believe me, just as his trainer.

Freedom.

KO Ratio:

Wladimir Klitschko: 85%
Muhammed Ali: 60%

Wow - this is my 24,000th post on boxingscene!

He may or may not have a point. Wlad has been in some entertaining fights early in his career. His problem is not his style, but his lack of proper opposition.

Ali had excellent dance partners which made for some good drama and exciting fights.

The heavyweight division right now is pretty much **** and Wlad has been able to dominate the competition at a leisurely pace and without using his full potential.
