Who is the most "boring" fighter out of Wladimir Klitschko, Mayweather + Andre Ward?

1. Klitschko
2. Ward
3. Floyd
Floyd is an extraordinary athlete who every now and then will throw some eye-catching fancy punches or show some acrobatic defensive moves despite being at the tail end of his career.
He just has that natural smoothness about his style that Ward lacks. Unlike Floyd and Ward, Klitschko has the punching power and mostly all the intangibles you can think of to KO every opponent he faces, but he chooses to play it safe most of the time. I personally don't have any problem with his style. I'm a pro-defensive fighters fan and he's fighting in a division where it's inevitable for anyone to get KO at any given moment.
Ward is a great all-around boxer who can do it all, but he's just not as smooth or athletically gifted as Floyd is/was.Last edited by Carpe Diem; 06-29-2015, 02:25 PM.

Just pointing out that that brought out the ugliest performance on Klitschko's part.
I ended up voting Floyd, but honestly not by a huge amount. Had this been a similar poll prior to Floyd's first retirement, there is no way I would have voted Floyd.. given the way he beat the **** out of Gatti and others.

Wlad simply because he always has every advantage and still fights scared, never once have I seen him go in for the kill like a mad man. he gets KO's but his level of opponents is really horrid, yet he still fights as though he may be killed at any second.

For me
Mayweather - oftentimes frustrating esp when it is obvious his talent and skill is wayyyyy above his opponent but still he remains defensive. he's lucky his marketing gimick (i.e. being a villain, douche, etc) clicked because his style doesnt really translate to many fans.
Vlad - 10x more frustrating than mayweather esp when his size and skill is also wayyyy above then most his opponents. the only consololation is he KOes people after a few rounds of hugging
Ward - wins and does not care if it looks good or bad. kinda like amateur boxing mentality.

Wlad, no contest.
Andre Ward and Floyd Mayweather dominate world class competition and provide us with world class skills, Wlad fights C and D level fighters in every fight and struggles so much he has to use illegal tactics over and over again.
A guy that has barely been boxing for 6 years of his life gave him hell in his last fight, forced to win through illegal tactics. Made him look amateurish in there.
He's stiff, robotic, and isn't a fluid athlete like Ward/Mayweather.
