Who had the more entertaining style: Butterbean or Wlad?

[ShoulderRoll]

Not sure the word "Style" has anything to do with either man.
Bean was a freak show 4 round guy who never was a serious competitor as far as contending for a title.
Wlad was a 1/2 stand up boxer who had a weak chin and held anyone that got close.
Neither man will be remembered in the future as a great boxer/fighter.

Interesting point of view as always. Thanks for your thoughts, Ray.

Nothing is less entertaining than Wladimir Klitschko.

And I've seen Henri Akinwande fight.

How did I miss this gem of a post?

I'd like to see him vs a 1980s Mr T.

Id piti the fool who took an 80's version of Mr. T.

[ShoulderRoll]

Mr. T was a wrestler as well as a bouncer. He could probably kick some butt in real life.

There is a difference between being historically significant and being entertaining.

They are not always one and the same.

What about junior witter?...he holds his guards like bill cartwright shoots...really ugly form to look at...makes me cringe and change channel everytime...

Lol @ the Bill Cartwright reference.

Klitchkos style is more for ppl who like technical boxing ...

Not really dude. I am drawn to technical fighters the most and I can't stand Wlad.

You can be technical and boring, and you can be technical and exciting.

Guys like Rigo, Lomachenko, Bradley, Fury, Golovkin, Roman, and Kovalev are all technical fighters who I consider exciting to watch.

Then there are guys like Devon, Wlad, Ward, Shiming, who I just really can't get into at all, and won't tune in to watch them intentionally.

How much better would Butterbean have been if he wasn't a fat mess? He'd have had a hell of a lot more speed, been able to throw a lot more punches and his arms would have had full range of movement.


But he wouldn't have had the following he had, his appeal was that he was a fat mess that could fight. It made all the fat messes of America feel like they could achieve something.

More exciting, Butterbean, but he was not ever really a contender.
