    Only time he really bored me was against Tua.

    Just bout all of Wlad's fights are like the Tua fight...
    Lennox had his exciting moments same as anyone else, but with Wladimir nobody ever even acknowledges anything positive Wladimir does. I don't expect you to come around and start to like Wladimir, Hulk. I can only hope the Klitschko bashing ebbs with time. There are times when I get a little impatient with the way Wlad fights (Rahman, Sultan, Chagaev) but I'm never not impressed by how Wlad stymies such fighters. But recently Wladimir's opponents have come to the ring to cash out, they haven't tried to win, they haven't done anything other than try to survive and there's not much Wlad can do about his opponents.

    The last fighter that actually FOUGHT Wladimir and tried to win was Tony Thompson and before that Calvin Brock gave Wlad as good of a fight as he could muster. Other than that recently guys have just been trying to survive, but should Wlad let his guard down entirely the consequences could be very severe.

    As for comparing Wlad to American heavyweights, you just can't expect Wlad to fight like Dempsey or Tyson it's moronic. Even when Wlad opened up the offense in the past (before he switched trainers) he hasn't gotten any respect.

    Wlad has sorry opponents, yes this is true. But he should take them out like he did Ray Austin.

    He likes to jab, jab, jab, then jab some more, and occasionally throw a right hand or God forbid a left hook.

    He holds back because he is scared to death to open up and risk exchanging and being countered.

    His saftey first style combined with fighting guys who are too scared themselves to really bring the fight to him and clueless of how to slip a jab and get inside make some terrible fights.
    "You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
