Is it fair to say Wlad is generally not that entertaining a HW?

    He is up there with the best of them in this category, but John "the Octupus" Ruiz and Valuev definitely have him beat.

    And who the **** is saying Wlad and Lewis are the same in the entertainment stakes? Have a ****ing word with yourself, Lewis could be boring but is in a different hemisphere to Wlad on that front.

    Just slightly above watching paint dry, but still under watching a turtle and a snail race.

    He rivals John Ruiz in that field.

    Lewis was involved in more exciting fights than Wlad. They both have some nice KOs, but Lewis has the edge in highlight reel KOs too.

    Wlad is not more boring than someone like Ruiz. Have people tried to sit through Jack Johnson's fights? Horrible. Horrible action level, horrible film quality, horrible amount of clinching.

    Best post in the entire thread

    Domination is not exciting but Wlad throws a lot of punches throws more jabs then most throw total shots in a round

    he also is a tremendous finisher, also he has been more exciting lately, he went after Peter in the second fight early but Peter kept holding

    He went after Mormeck after most on here claimed hed carry him

    Wlad i think is exciting but he doesnt have that one great guy to bring it out

    Ali Holmes Louis Tyson all had their share of poor fights and pre retirement Vitali was extremely exciting he still is but not as much kinda got lumped in with Wlad

    I dont think Wlad holds too much and I think most of it has to do with size differences but my problem is he is content to hold at times

    back in the day he shoved the guys off and hit them, now he is content to be clinched when he can wrestle them off and hit them

    Vitali doesn't need to clinch and lean on the backs of opponents

    Vitali knocks out a higher % of opponents :deal

    Vitali also has a shockingly bad resume, not that Wlad's is much better.
