Haye Klitschko is falling apart- Talks Suspended

[ClubberLang]

"least crowd pleasing style in history"? Hyperbole much? I guess you've never sat through the torture that is a John Ruiz fight? Shannon "Asthmatic" Briggs, anyone? I'll grant that Wlad's technical style is not the most exciting out there, but compared to a lot of the current crop of heavys he's practically Arturro Gatti. At least Wlad usually knocks his opponents out after softening them up with his jab.

Least Crowd Pleasing style?? Have you watched any of Wlad's fights? So Lennox Lewis sucked as well because Wlad and Lewis have a very similar style....Wlad is top ten in knockout percentage of active fighters.....You must be one of those people that enjoyed when Ruiz and Byrd were champions.....

You must of missed the dullest fight i have ever seen im my entire life against Sultan Ibragimov was voted worst fight of the year and his action packed fight against Tony Thompson.

The Ibragimov fight was certainly boring, but that was hardly Wlad's fault as Ibragimov was in survival mode from the start, circling the ring and refusing to engage. If one guy simply refuses to put up a fight, there's not much you can do other than give the other guy his only chance by going in recklessly. I did not think the Thompson fight was all that bad, not all-time classic by any means, but it certainly was not a stinker, and Wlad ended it with a crushing knockout. To say that Wlad is the most boring heavyweight of all-time is just plain silly. Have you ever seen John Ruiz, Chris Byrd, or Shannon Briggs fight? C'mon now, that was just a silly statement.

You must have missed Ibragimov fighting Shannon Briggs then. You can't make a fight engaging if you have an opponent who stays way on the outside. That fight was boring because of Ibragimov, not Klitschko.

Wladimir wants to be a crowd pleaser...

The heavyweight with the least crowd pleasing style in history wants to be a crowd pleaser.

Yeah, I should have written the guy recognised as the heavyweight champ rather than heavyweight. There can't have ever been anyone recognised as the man at heavyweight who was more boring to watch than Junior. John Ruiz was rubbish too but nobody ever considered him to be the man at heavyweight. For casual boxing fans and the wider public having a guy like Junior as champ turns them all off watching heavyweight boxing. The only way Vlad ever pleases a crowd is when he retires.
