    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.

    I can explain it.
    But I cant understand it for you.

    Agree 200%.
    In some way, I'm exasperated by the lack of a credible opponent who could force Wlad to abandon his "safety first" style. They all talk a load of shit, only to meekly lose either by boring decision or embarrasing TKO. Embarrasing, because it's more their not wanting to be in there, than Wlad wanting to take them out of there. Murphy's Law: The right guy will come along, just in time to hear Wlad announce his retirement.

    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.

    There ya go pal....that's one of the last top notch heavyweight fights there has been.


    Wladimir and Vitali are dominant and to some people domination is boring. There are no style matchups for them, there's no solid competition. Wlad could fight until he's 40 and probably not lose a fight.....the guys are just too good for their competition end of discussion.

    The one thing you cant argue with the Klit brothers is that they are always
    in tip top condition, which cant be said about most Heavys these days .

    nope i disagree

    people dont find them boring coz they are dominant, they find them boring coz they are boring inside and outside the ring

    their take no-risks-at-all styles, and boring behaviour make them boring

    if tyson ruled for as long as the klits have, people would have got excited about his fights for as long as it all lasted
