Lowest entertainment value: Wladimir Klitschko or Andre Ward?

Never understood the point of making a thread which is negative and pessimistic in its outset.

Both are champs and quality fighters.

If someone from Denmark passes up a chance to take a shot at Ward then you know it's time to give the hating a break.

This would break Bat's heart to see this.

Ha.

As much as I 'hated' Ward after that, there's no denying Ward's quality as a fighter. Nelson will probably admit this too.

I say Wladimir Klitschko because he just so happens to be in the most glamorous, exciting and prestigious division in all of boxing history. The same division, I mind you that brought us the likes of all-time heavyweight sluggers and charismatic greats such as: Jack Johnson, Jack Dempsey, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Muhammad Ali and a primed Mike Tyson. This is why the Heavyweight division has historically enjoyed the largest gates and most attractive draws of any sporting event in history because of the intrigue that a fight could end in just one punch at any given notice.

Wladimir on the other hand, given his size of 6'7 and 250 lbs is not a good ambassador for the sport of boxing (especially the heavyweight division). Like the all-time greats before him, he has both the ability and potential to bring some much needed life back into the sport of boxing in general and in the heavyweight division in particular; However he lacks the will. For one, he is just too defensive with poor stamina. He would just rather carry an opponent than knocking them out early. Also, he likes to fight a slower pace, by constant clinching his opponents and working behind his jab, in order to avoid exchanging and trading punches with them for fear of punching himself out. He is perhaps the sole reason why the public in general is so turned off by the sport, due to the division he is currently competing in and also coupled with his boxing style.

Don't watch either fight to be honest, ward is not entertaining at all and neither is wlads jab jab grab, 8 power shots in 12 rounds style.

Both are entertaining. Wlad is a strange case however. He is the hvw champion of the world. The baddest man on the planet. Wlad should be universally recognized by even the casual fans around the world. Holmes went through the same thing. Sometimes it just doesn't happen.

Wlad and Ward are no more boring than any great champion past or present. Boring is another word I can't ****ing stand. Boring and quit should be banned from the boxing library.

Ward is one of my favorite fighters to watch. The man is poetry in motion, pure entertainment.

Wlad is usually okey in terms of entertainment value but he can be boring sometimes. Mainly when he carries tomato cans he could easily finish on the spot.

Ward is never in with that pathetic level of oposition anymore so you cant hold it against him that hes cautious at times since his oponents pose a legitimate threat. If hes ever in there with a no hoper like shelby pudwill he takes him out quickly like he is supposed to.

Just no....

I haven't seen a boring performance from Wlad in ages, same goes for Ward. I find Ward more entertaining though, more versatile, uses every punch in the book far more consistently than Wlad.

Jean Marc Mormeck ring a bell? David Haye? Tony Thompson II?

Hell i'm still not over Ibragimov. Omg.

How can watching a guy beat up on nothing but tomato cans be entertaining unless you have a hard on for him, and just like seeing him win?

Are you wlad fans sure you're not closet ****s?
