Klitschko's style is somewhat of an eyesore

For winning his style has worked well for him no question about that, but I don't remember any Klitschko fights that were fun to watch that he won outside of the first Peter fight which he almost lost. Pulev fight was pretty fun to watch.

The only time lately in which he looked somewhat watchable was against Wach. Because of Wachs size and punching bag style Klitschko moved around the ring and landing vicious punches against him without resorting to clinch him.

I like Wlad a lot, but to say his style is 'somewhat' of an eyesore is funny. Even when he knocks his opponents out he looks slow, methodical and boring.

I'm not a fan. He's boring..

To me they are all kind of skirting the fine line of being "dirty" fighters, when Bhop and ward do clutch and grab they do it with more ring craft it seems to me. Wlad does it with the look and feel of pure panic There is no real ring craft of genius trait to grabbing hold of someone, I think Ward looked desperate when he was doing it against Kovalev, he was bloody well shooting in for a double-leg takedown at times and ramming his shoulder off of Kovalev, that's not boxing! Even when B-hop fought Smith Jr, It was abysmal, Hopkin often holds to make up for his terrible condition at his advanced age it's understanding, but Ward is still young and fit and capable so what is his excuse?

Funny you should mention it, but I think Bhop and Ward style are actually worse than Wladimir's, mainly so because both Bhop and Ward rely more on bending the rules and often couldn't knock out a w@nk never mind an opponent.

That Povetkin fight is one of the worst fights i've ever seen. It was disgraceful. Not as disgraceful as Ward Vs. Kessler.

Not meaning to sound negative but as Wlad got older his style got ugly. It's "one, two grab" or "lead hook grab" or "jab, jab going backwards then grab". He was a killer in his prime but now the only thing that keeps his fights from becoming unwatchable is his power. I am excited for the fight with Josh but I am expecting a ugly fight, but I am sure someone is going to get sparked so I can't wait to see it.

Aside from the Povetkin fight I've really enjoyed his career and most of his fights. Wlad is a great fighter, H2H he's the greatest HW of all time. That Povetkin fight is one of the worst fights i've ever seen. It was disgraceful.

Somewhat? Lol, The guy is a hell of an eyesore and headache. I can't stand that jab, grab, jab, jab, grab style. We need exciting knockouts not a holding and leaning on your opponent for 10 rounds knockout. Is it any wonder why when the Klitschko's took over for as long as they did, only 1 PPV was ever done in the U.S. and it was only 1 because the fight barely cracked 100k ppv buys. Yeah, for the good of boxing, we need Joshua to win Saturday to keep the revival of the Heavyweight division going. ^^^^^^This.... I have been so dismayed over the years of how horrid the heavyweight division has become that if they would have scrapped it after the Lennox Lewis era there would have been no complaints from me. Joshua needs to win and win BIG to close this Klitchsko chapter. I'm all for the passed over due change.

I agree I hate it.

Also, you should remove the word "somewhat" from the post title

I disagree ... in that I think Wlad has ALWAYS been an eyesore. Even in his younger days, he had that 1-2, clinch style. Yeah, its gotten worse. I am also worried that we'll see a washed Wlad clinching more than usual.
