    The division would only get worse if the Klitschkos left.

    The big headline of this year would likely be Holyfield vs. Povetkin. And I wish that was an exaggeration.

    there not exciting because everyone they fight sucks, not their fault, if someone can give them a challenge it would be a great fight to watch...remember klitchko lewis?

    please see above.

    Why risk a wild swing from Haye when you can outbox him? He would have looked like a chump & would have been criticised..why risk a points win when you're clearly ahead blah blah blah

    I often wonder what would have happened if Tyson was refused entry to the UK as there was talk of him not being allowed in when he came over to fight julius francis... as I remember one of the Klits (not sure which one) was willing to step in and fight him in Germany.

    I love watching both of them fight no mater who they are against... they just suffer from the Lennox Lewis syndrome (safety over entertaining risks) Still remember Lennox screaming at the camera "Its a Science" after his snooze fest against Tua...and like Lennox they will not be fully appreciated until they are gone.

    I had more interest in watching Lennox fights than I do Wladimir's. Whether due to lack of credible opponents, Wlad's style.... whatever. Lennox gave us a little bit of everything. From getting careless against Oliver McCall and Hasim Rahman, then getting his revenge against each of them.... to looking absolutely dreadful against Tua.... to turning out the lights on an over-the-hill but still dangerous Mike Tyson. I usually stayed awake for Lennox's fights (well... except for Tua's, during which I fell asleep).

    At least Lennox liked to finish it if he could, not sail home safe every time.

    The Klits make most of Lennox's fights look like the bowe-holyfield trilogy in one fight.

    Too boring, too big, too good.

    Today talking to one of the lad's in work about my post, he is a casual fan this is what he said,
    the Klit's are boring and the HW in general as well, bar Tyson exciting fast and he said the man
    had a presents in and out side the ring. I no it's only one person opinion but I got a bit of feed back,
    off the casual fan.

    They are talented, I like watching them fight. The problem is that yeh the division may be weak and you've 'gone through' most but Wlad only adds fuel to already existing scrutiny with a garbage fight like that. It was 100% pointless and more about padding a milestone 50 ko mark. Why validate what is already strong criticism by insulting the fans. I do think the Vitali fight was solid action and needed. When its good its good but you have to keep it on the level.

    To be fair, I was in complete awe at the handywork of Vitali when he took care of Adamek.

    That style of defense was literally perfect for Adamek.

    But no one has said they are exciting, never here any body rave about there fight's that's the
    point very dull. Bit like Steve Davies the snooker player good but dull.

    They are both terrible. Bad for boxing and completely pulling the wool over peoples eyes. "Oh you wait Wlad is gonna knock Haye out after dissing him" didn't happen
    "Oh you wait Vitali is gonna murder Chisora" didn't happen

    They treat their opponents like a joke using all kinds of gamesmanship as though being about a foot taller and two or three stones heavier wasn't enough. They then fight at home in Germany taking 85% of the money and being allowed to push down, wrestle and poke their opponents in the face all night. Wlad is so safety oriented that you would think he was a bantamweight in with a cruiserweight and Vitali while being more aggressive is hardly busy with his punches.

    They are deathly dull, robotic and killing the excitement in the shop front division. How people can defend Wlad fighting Mormeck and then go on and on about Haye being a fraud and then point to Vitali and make excuses for him avoiding Valuev is beyond me. Anyone remotely near their size with a half decent punch and average technical ability would expose them.

    If Chisora who has very little power can give Vitali kittens, and a back Pedalling blownup cruiserweight in Haye is too much for Wlad to finish, how can people delude themsleves into thinking they could hang with the ATG's? Holmes, Foreman, Ali, Frazier, Shavers,Tyson, could all batter the krap out of either of them.

    You may feel I am over critical of them, but I like to be entertained sorry they are not for me.
