Do you find Wlad Klitschko to be an exciting fighter?

[generalbulldog]

I agree, effective yes, exciting no. I respect Wlad as the HW champ, but the state of HW boxing and a boring as hell HW champ has caused boxing to become a niche sport in America and ignored because of this. Wlad is not entirely to blame but imo he is a big reason why boxing is practically dead in America and is the way it is. The HW division has been said by many historians and knowledgeable fans as being the life line of the sport. And when the lifeline of the sport is on life support no wonder boxing is seemed dead in the country where it once had such a rich history.

It's not dead, it's just not as popular as before. You could ask 10 people at random who the heavyweight champs were, and maybe 2-3 would get one right. Where as back in Tyson days it would be around 6-7 out of 10.

Exciting i'd have to say no. But that hasn't noting to do with wlad. None of these guys are a threat to him, and his fights always end in a ko so he has no need for an extra gear. Short of taking dna from him and his brother and creating some sort of super fighter there isn't much he can do. I know we all want to see more agression and what not, but that's easy for us to say sitting here. When he's 70 sitting on top of a bunch of cash belts and two of david haye's bronzed braids in a case that he knocks off his dome and can still count his abc's and read to his grandchildren he see how smart of a move it is to hit and not get hit. I look at the sport different than most so most won't agree with me i know. I'm one of the one's who could watch a brutal KO or a twelve round decision doesn't matter to me. I like both aspects of the sport. When wlad was vulnerabe and getting beat by the likes of chris byrd no one had a problem with him. Now that he's upped his game to the point where he and his bro stand alone he's hated. Fighting for fans is always a loosing battle. I'd love to see more exciting hw fights but at the same time if i was in thier shoes i wouldn't change a thing.

No I don't. He needs a good dance partner.
