    Obviously the HW champ Wlad, Berto is an over paid hypejob. Its hard to even call him world class due to how unproven he is.

      So the poll result indicates most people would sooner see Wlad on HBO.

        However, he's paying $1,400,000 for the next Berto fight.

        Klitschko all the way. I hate the way Berto fights.

          Honestly, I'd rather see Berto fight than Wlad. Wlad is obviously a better fighter but his style of fighting is so boring and the guys he is fighting just are outclassed and honestly are so unconditioned and terrible athletes. Berto is fighting bums but for the most part shows skills and has exciting fast hands. Wlads a good fighter and Berto is a coward but that doesn't change the fact that Berto is much more tv friendly.

            Berto hugs anyone that's a threat.


            How is his hugging exciting again?

            He's in some dreadful fights.

            At least Klitschko usually has the highlight reel ko to go with his hugs.

              I don't remember Berto being that big of a hug freak. Maybe against Urango because he was afraid of getting hit with bombs but before that I remember him putting on decent shows. Berto ain't no superman but I do find him a more interesting watch than Wlad.

                Berto has hugged excessively ever since Cosme Rivera dropped him.

                It's my pet peeve with him.

                Wlad is taller and creates space with his great jab so to me he's more entertaining but to each his own.

                  Maybe I just don't notice holding as much. Holding really doesn't bother me as long as it isn't done over and over or being used for hitting. In the Urango bout(I think it was that) he seemed to hold a lot but when I think of Berto I think right to the Collazo, Miki Rodriguez, and Trabant fights. All of those fights were exciting and showcased Bertos handspeed. I might not notice it or I might of just forgot, since I'm not a huge Berto fan in the first place. I still would rather watch him because his skills are more "in your face". Wlad is skillful but his skills come from the jab which really isn't all that exciting.

                    just being brutally honest,


                    klitsckho brothers are just plain boring to watch. they dont bring any excitement to their fights. they are too methodical & their level of opposition makes the situation worse. not their fault but americans have very short attention spans. as for andre berto, well we all know the answer to that: al haymon.

                      I would think Wlad since He unlike Berto is fighting the best He can find in his division. Not much competition, but none one can blaim him for that.
                      In the other side, Berto better step up and start fighting the best because unlike Wlad, HE has better competition to fight against.
                      I hope He does.
