Am I Missing Something

[El Kabong]

I see were you are coming from Lyle, Dull Dull Lyle up to now not one person has said hell they are
exciting to watch, come on that's the point a bit of action that's all I ask.

You guys only see one side of it....look big picture. What's Ray Leonard without Duran and Hearns? What's Ali without Frazier and Foreman? COMPETITION makes the fights fun to watch...I admire the Klitschko's because they are so far ahead of anyone in the division, it's exciting to me to see that, but I've been on the bandwagon for years so I'm invested in their doing well. The simple FACT is that in the last 5 or so years the Klitschko's haven't had much adversity in the ring at all.


They choose to box what people say is "safety first"....it's not safety, it's that they choose to BOX and they were taught properly and have adhered to the rules they have set for themselves that makes their attributes most effective.


If there were guys of the same size that could take the punishment the Klitschko's dish out, or small enough to out manuver the bigger Klitschko's then we would have some adversity, some challenge....but right now all they get is a workout....if they are lucky. As a fan I've got nothing bad to say about the Klitschko's, plenty bad to say about their opponents who should have learned a thing or two by now. It seems no heavyweight wants to be taken seriously anymore, and that's because the Klitschko's are so dominant.....sorry, it's domination homes!!!


All this being said, eventually the Klitschko's will retire, and the skill level of the heavyweights will plummet! We may get some decent fights out of it, maybe some fan favorites, but there will be no dominant force in the division for quite some time!

Good reply Lyle, I wish they would fight with the same passion, as you use in your post Lyle but alas
it will never be, they have there place in the history books.I will not knock there boxing ability as they
have plenty. I just want to be entertained Lyle not a lot to ask there have been plenty of fighter's I and
other's have raved about, but I cant see any one rave about them now or in the future.

to be fair I don't think vitali is a cautious fight, I would not call him an aggressive fighter but I would not say he is cautios(I dont tihnk I have ever seen him block a punch :S), he fights to win and is not taking stupid risks but he goes to fight in my opinion, I think it is a bit unfair to say he is a safety first boring fighter..

Wladimir is a different matter though, I am a big fan of him maybe the biggest klitschko fanboy there is :S but he is so frustrating, when he gets going he is really good but so often he just won't throw anything but a jab... and v mormeck his grabbing was getting a bit annoying, even I could see he was hurting moreck even when mormeck was blocking the punches.. I think wlad is really talented but he never uses it, which is a shame.. I do concur they need better competition to bring the best of them out
