    At least Wladimir Klitschko dont handpick his opponent.

    We all know that this fight will go 12 rounds. At least Wladimir knock people out and we get his fight for FREE.

    Mayweather on PPV. Get the Fock out of here.

    Borring ass figther.

    Caleno is just ordinary. To young, drained and not that good.

    If you wanna see two unskilled brawlers stand in front if each other throwing haymakers with no defence buy an affliction shirt and go watch MMA. Wlad and Mayweather are both excellent BOXERS.

    Agreed... Wlad doesn't charge 65-75 for 12 rounds of sparring. that wasn't a fight..

    Atleast his fights are free. And even on ESPN UK or Epix.

    And not on Showtime PPV. And then for 75 $

    Yeah because when Wladimir fights bigger opponents it's always an action packed fight...oh wait he's always the much bigger fighter and fighting against C level fighters.

    You would expect with all that size and skill advantage his fights would be much more entertaining.
     
  9. No, least you get the outside razzmatazz from Floyd, Wlad's a big boring ass robot in and out the ring.

    But yeah, they both bore me silly.

    Wlad's last opponents - Pianeta, Wach, Mormeck, Thompson 2.

    Don't even try to defend that. Hand picked opponents at it's finest (except Thompson I guess).

    Wlad jabs and grabs for the entire fight before a KO punch lands against **** opponents in round 12. He's a great boxer, but more exciting than Floyd with his robotic, one-dimensional style? Hell no.

    Wladimir Klitschko is irrelevant in the era of boxing, most people don't even know when he fight.

    HE knocks people out and his fights are not on PPV.

    That's one extreme but you could argue Floyd is the other. Why didn't he step it up and try to finish Canelo? There's something to be said for fighters that are able to do that consistently. Pure boxing is great, but it's not complete boxing. Of course to step it up and finish an opponent means you're taking more of a risk, that you might get tagged too. But that makes the fight exciting! This would be my biggest criticism of Floyd. A great pure boxer but lacking when it came to the finish. The latter is just as much a skill (if not more) as all the shoulder rolling and fancy foot work.

    If Floyd were to be hiding some glass, he hides it with brilliant defence and athleticism. He's so quick and fluid with his movement, his reflexes are insane like Vitali's, his counter punching and accuracy completely shut fighters down and he actually looks good doing it. Wlad hides his glass by grabbing whenever an opponent gets too close. And his hand picked refs allows it excessively.
