    It's been a couple of months now. Can we be honest?

    Fury-Klitschko was more boring than Mayweather-Pac. The only reason people liked this fight is because Fury won. If Pacquiao had won and the fight went the same way people would not be calling it boring. I understand Fury made history but that was one of the worse fights of last year.That fight was only slightly better than Rigodeaux-Fransisco. That fight was horrible. Post a highlight video of the fight if you think I'm wrong.

    It was bad. Best shot was Fury's left hook in the 7th

      Both fights really ******. I think the reason people hated the Pac-Mayweather fight more was because 1.) Mayweather won and 2.) The fight just didn't live up to the 6+ years of promotion and hype that went behind it. If Pac won and the fight ******, I think a lot of the casual fans could stomach that. I think they could even stomach Floyd winning a barn burner type fight where both fighters get knocked down and go to war. But they can't stomach a terrible fight with Floyd winning, which is basically what happened.

      Klitschko-Fury was a fight that the hardcore fans and fans in the UK and Germany cared about. It ****** big time as well. I think they only landed like 130 punches combined which is just bad. But it also didn't have the type of hype behind it that Mayweather Pac had.

        Klitschko's flying headbutt was pretty funny.

              It was a boring fight but still found it entertaining because of what it meant as far as the end of Klits reign. Plus Fury pre and post fight was A+.


              As far May/Pac I didn't find that boring because you know what you get with Mayweather and the fact that it was marinating for years and had the best of the era squaring off I found it entertaining.

                  That fight was terrible, most boring **** ever. Only ppl that would say it wasnt are fury fanboys who act like he put on some masterclass boxing performance.

                    I enjoyed Fury Klitschko for the same reason I enjoyed Haye v Valuev. There was a huge amount of tension throughout the fight and an expectation that Fury's luck could run out at any moment. That made it extremely tense viewing for me.

                    It's not a fight I'd rewatch though, except for analysis purposes. Wlad really made it dull and Fury was too content outboxing him to open up that much.
