Who is at fault? Klitschkos or their opponents?

[lennon]

Wlad fought a guy that was even announced as "In Recess" lol, you dont get more stark description of a hopelessly poor opponent than that lol.

If Haye was in the ring tonight, Haye would have jumped in tryn to land the bombs, probably would get knocked out and Wlad would get alot of respect for ending it against an opponent that came to fight, which is whay Steward was so happy about the Wlad Haye fight at the press conference, all the hype would have made Wlad look good. But wins like this do nothn for Wlad and if he wont fight the next best fighter who he is getting a free pass to duck then he may as well retire. Never before has a champ been given a Ring belt becaus ehe wont fight the number 2 ranked guy! Thats why Wlad gets no respect.

I would like to see Wlad be a little more aggressive with how he disposes of guys but to me it is on the opponents.

You need to make him fight, if a fighter is just going to let him stand off and bomb away Wlad is basically invincible. To me it is on his opponent to get him off his game and make Wlad fight in a way that is uncomfortable to him, although i must admit it does suck because it does not appear as if anyone is up to the task.

of course oponents

[niteshift]

Klitschko. when his opponent is there for the taking and he fights safety first, it's all on him.

[Dynamite Kid]

Klitchko's just use their advantages at the end of the day.


Larry Holmes was not exactly an exciting fighter imo, he(Larry) fought better opposition but Larry was a safety first kinda guy that hid behind the jab and controlled the action majority of the fight with his left hand.

Its the opponents who come in out of shape, or can't figure out how to get in on them, or they are either too afraid to force a fight with the K-bros....It is not Wlad and Vitali's fault that their opponents can't physically compete with them.

The heavyweight div all together. Its just not as good as it was. But you cant blame the Klits for that. Im sure if they could they would want to fight a prime lewis holy tyson to see how good they really are but they cant. All they can do is win now. Sometimes its not the comp you fight bc different weight classes have different comp and era's are different. It if you have the skill and can box. Clearly they can. Its not their fault its not the opponents fault bc the klits are just that good. Its just the state of the div. If there was even two or three that can contend with them it would be better. But there just isnt.

[VirusTI]

Wlad can be exciting, but he is more about winning now...for better or worse.

[Fox McCloud]

Idiot boxing fan: "Hey Wladimir, you're really boring to watch in the ring, you should be more exciting."

Wladimir Klitschko: "Uhh, I punch with a lot of power on every punch and don't clinch or run. What more do you want?"

Idiot boxing fan: "Well, fights are exciting if they are competitive... I guess you should just drop your hands and let other people hit your more frequently."

Wladimir Klitschko: "Okay, GTFO."

I mean, really, that is what all your morons sound like when you ***** about how boring Wladimir Klitschko is. What should he do other than get hit more frequently?

[JACK D. RIPPER]

This applies more towards Wladdy because Vitali actually has a killer instinct.
But its clearly their fault. In an era of such a weak HW landscape, guys that are supposedly this good should be dispatching of these fighters with ease.

That they dont proves they aren't very good.
