Who is the most "boring" fighter out of Wladimir Klitschko, Mayweather + Andre Ward?

[Tom Cruise]

I voted for Ward as the most boring. He holds as much as Wlad does and he almost never hurts anybody. At least Wlad usually ends his fights with a crushing KO even if the fight was boring up till then. Ward's fights are boring for 12 full rounds. Mayweather isn't exactly Mr. excitement but his long range boxing skills are entertaining. Mayweather holds way too much but not as much as Wlad and Ward.

Ward almost always tries to work in the clinch. Big difference in what he does to what Wlad does.

Wlads KO's are mostly putting us out of our misery and they mostly come 3-4 rounds too late.

in which world? In this world Klitschko holds infinitely more than Mayweather.

I don't think any of these people actually watch Mayweather or Ward fight when they say something as ****** as both guys holding as much as Wlad. Neither guy holds anywhere near like Wlad does.

This thing people are doing lately where they claim Mayweather holds everyone is especially disgusting. He held too much in one fight against Maidana. That's it. Otherwise he barely clinches at all. Wlad clinches more in a round than Mayweather does in entire fights. The absolute worst performance of Mayweather's career had less than half the clinches Wlad did at his worst.

Same with Ward, by the way. His worst holding wasn't even half of Wlad's worst, and other than Kessler and a couple fights afterwards, he hasn't held that much either. He didn't clinch beating Abraham, Froch, Dawson, Rodriguez, or Smith.

has to be wlad. his fights consists of him jabbing from across the ring and then using his massive size to pin the other guy down in a clinch, that's all that pretty much happens until the KO. mayweather's virtuoso defense and fast counters and ward's athleticism and activity keep it interesting throughout the fight.

It's true. The thing with mayweather is especially true. People get way too sensationalistic when talking about him - After the Maidana fight he was suddenly "hugger". It was the same with Brook after Porter. none of them hold in any of their other fights, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

I've explained it numerous times, that guys like Mayweather used his holding as a former of defense when Maidana was rushing in and he tied him up. The difference is Wladimir literally uses his clinch/lean/hold as a form of attack. He leaps across the ring with the sole purpose of clinching and tiring his opponent out. The same cannot be said by Ward/Mayweather.

Ward had an awful clinchfest vs Kessler - amongst other things. Imo he was borderline DQ worthy, especially after the blatant headbutts.

After that, he's never been anywhere near as bad.

Wlad clinches (attack) at least 10 times a round on average.

[SplitSecond]

Definitely klitschko.

[BoxingAustralia]

Its clearly Klitschko.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Mayweather has no KO power, he is clearly the most boring elite fighter ever.

Ward almost always tries to work in the clinch. Big difference in what he does to what Wlad does.

Wlads KO's are mostly putting us out of our misery and they mostly come 3-4 rounds too late.

So Wlad is super boring and Ward is just boring. Problem solved!

[JaguaresMx]

easy, Wlad can be unwatchable

Ward is somehwere in the middle

Floyd is by and large not boring. He's not a full out entertainer, but he's not boring. He sets himself in the pocket enough and will engage. His defense is other worldly though so he can pick his spots
