    This is exactly why I was looking forward to Pulev/Hughie!

    Yes, boring but usually not too bad.
    The Wlad fight was both boring and frustrating as nothing happened for 11 rounds, but h usually when there's a bigger gap in size and/or quality it's not that bad to watch.
    I like methodical or stalking powerpunchers.

    Yes. When the threat of a knockout is so low I find it a bit dull. I appreciate his skills and the Wlad fight was enthralling because few, including me, expected that to happen.

    I find him extremely dull to watch, that fight with Wlad was the worst title fight I've seen. I don't know how anyone could watch that shyte more than once. I will only watch the Wilder fury fight in the hope that fury gets destroyed and I never have to see the boring tosser again.

    Not for me

    He’s a spoiler, and good at it so if that’s your thing then fair enough but I find it frustrating to watch.

    The only entertaining fights he’s been in is when he’s been dropped.

    That fight with klitchko could cure insomniacs!

    I’m a Brit but quite looking forward to seeing wilder flatten him

    Of course but did you or any other wicky fan think this when wicky was closing his curtains or imatating taking the pis s out of a boxing style laughing banging on about a fellow boxer not making money
    to then claim to Floyd bragging about money is an ugly trait
    Did you appreciate maulers and boxers back then me thinks not You football fan
    And nice insults you fhooking cretin

    Depends how he approaches the fight.

    I dont think anyone other than hardcore fans, enoyed the Wlad Klitschko fight as a spectacle, it was dire to watch. He has also been dire to watch in the Seferi and Pianeta fights, which he was treating as an exhibition. However before then I did enjoy watching him in all of his previous fights, so I am a fan of his style and personality.

    Tyson Fury can punch and that is why despite his evasive approach, he is exicting to watch. So long as he actually throws and is in a competitive fight its entertaining, the problem with the Wlad fight was that Wlad was throwing nothing and Tyson was only landing 5-10 punches per round

    I'm a big fan of his personality and respect his comeback from deep depression. I wish him well. But in the heavyweight division I prefer watching fighters with clunking great power - the drama for me is knowing something explosive might happen at any moment. With Fury you know that won't happen. What you will have is jerky, spoiling style and punches that don't seem all that crisp but do wreck the flow of the opponent. I can appreciate his movement is great for a 7 foot monster, but I've never seen him fight and thought 'wow'.

    Hopefully, whoever wins, Fury v Wilder won't be a shutout snore-fest.

    No, for me that's what boxing is, hitting and not getting hit etc

    For those who answered no, did you find the Seferi and Pianetta fights exciting?

    Fury has never hit anyone clean in his life, it's all slaps and smothers.

    He’s great at what he does but it’s boring to watch. It’s as simple as that really.

    Nothing happened in the Seferi fight. As soon as Tyson began to throw punches, the opponent was pulled out. No point mentioning that fight because it wasn't a fight.

    If you look at the Pianeta fight in the context of being his first real fight after a three year lay off, while still carrying extra timber, I fail to see the criticisms. He was evidently only operating at 50% of his best, if even. Yet he exhibited some great skill at times, and done ten rounds easily. We know it wasn't exciting, but how was an average opponent in a comeback fight ever going to be an exciting fight? It's wrong to use the Pianeta fight as a yardstick to assess Tyson's style or measure his entertainment level. It should be used as a measurement to see where he's at after his long lay off. I'd say 50%.

    If you want to assess Tyson's style and entertainment level, look at the Hammer, Chisora 2 and Klitschko fights. Two stoppages of world level fighters and the schooling of an all time great. Not so shabby.
