    Who is at fault? Klitschkos or their opponents?

    Who do you think is more at fault for the Klitschko Brothers somewhat "boring" (boring in quotes since its merely the opinion of some) performances?

    Its clear right now that the Klitschkos are the class of the HW division, but people look down at them (specifically Wlad) for not making more exciting boxing matches. Whose fault is this though, them or the opponents?

    Is it that once the Klitschkos (once again specifically Wlad) see they have outclassed their opponents that, they should step outside that comfort zone and press the action to provide more entertainment? or is it that hey if you can win a fight comfortably using a specific legal tactic, you should stick with it and not place yourself in peril.

    On the other hand you have their opponents.... The Klitschkos are doing a specific tactic, that though unexciting) leads to them winning easily. The opponents are fighting in ways that will assure them of losing, and they don't change tactics, and don't take risks because they would rather lose and take less damage.

    Personally I blame the opponents, because the Klitschko behavior is based on them winning fights, and the opponents is usually just based on survival.

        Chagaev was terrible today. It seemed like he lacked a gameplan all together. How many punches did he land 13?

              Both. Most of the fat ****s in the heavyweight division think since there's no weight limit they can wild out at the buffet and come in out of shape.

              Andre Berto fights the way he does because Klitschko gave them the blueprint. These motha****ers have absolutely eliminated inside fighting with bull**** illegal holding.

                Its just the Heavyweight Division in general, it hasn't got the talent pool it used to. Nobody can blame Wlad or his opponents for this, all he is doing is beating everyone put in front of him and dominating the division he fights in.

                    Sven Ottke is to blame.

                    In all seriousness though, heavyweight boxing is boring in general. No exciting styles, lack of handspeed, etc.
