  • Are the Klitschkos entertaining?

    The Klitschko brothers are two of the most dominant heavyweight champions across any era, you cannot take that away from them.

    They are getting a lot of the same criticism Lennox Lewis received for having a systematic approach to Boxing.

    Do you think the criticism is warranted? Do you think the breaking down method style is entertaining? Please explain and discuss your answers.

    No, Wlad is one of the most dominating champions in any era. Vitali is a paper champ within that same era.

    I don't find them exciting. They're so basic. They probably could be exciting with better opponents, like Vitali with Lennox, but that's just a what if.

      No I thoroughly enjoy watching them fight. Nothing like watching Wladimir systematically break down a pretender before knocking them the hell out.

      I think its a case of like Lennox; he was called boring, safety first and such and didn't get much respect until after he retired.

        Not overly.

        I do enjoy watching them fight but Wladamir in particular should at times turn up the heat on his opponents, but is content to just wait.

        Put it this way, most of his fights go about 3-5 rounds longer than they need to

          I wouldn't call Wlad "exciting" but he certainly entertains me when he fights, or a lot of his fights.

          I don't really think Vitali's fight's as entertaining as I do Wlad's.

          Not sure why, perhaps because Wlad's the more technically sound of the two.

            If you compare them to previous champs, Lennox, Tyson, Holyfield, Bowe etc. what are your thoughts then?

              That's my biggest issue with Wlad.

              Would like him to do some demolition fights ala Lewis vs Golgota/ruddock.

              Seems like he wants to give his fans a sense of fake excitement.

                No they're not entertaining. If I were not a core boxing fan I would not watch them at all. Some fighters just aren't entertaining to most and unfortunately they fall into that bracket. Good guys and top boxers, but they don't provide the x-factor.

                  I like their ring walks and shoulder pads.

                    Vitali is exciting for me, he throws ****load of punches and is a true warrior. Wlad on the other hand isn't that much exiting but I love watching him throwing his huge straight right hand (like the one in my sig). One one of the most beautiful punch in the boxing. Ever
