Wlad is the most uninteresting HW Champ ever

[Mike Tyson77]

Wlad is one of the ATGs, sonny.

I think Ruiz had him beat. Watching a Ruiz match was like watching paint dry.

Ruiz would have been a much better opponent tonight. At least Ruiz would've tried to win the fight...

Chris Arreola made a very good point about Wlad tonight. He said that he's sure Rahman and the other guys go in there with a different plan but Wlad makes them fight his fight and as a result they are ineffective.

I don't see that it's bad that he thoroughly dominates a lot of guys.

At least give him props for that, and get mad at his opponents for not bringing the heat and executing their own game plans.

I happen to like Wlad but I can agree that his fight in recent years have been devoid of real excitement. And the most logical explanation for this, is that his competitive hasn't been all that good or, he's just been so much better. He dominates his opponents in such way where it's not competitive at all and that can sometimes produce a boring fight...

I will say this though, Team Klitschko's match-making of this fight justifiably should be criticized. Rahman has looked dismal at best in recent years and quit during his last fight. Because of this, Team Klitschko and HBO should not have considered Rahman a viable opponent for a second. There's plenty of other contenders out there that would have given much more effort than the Rock did tonight...
