    Are they boring to the fans because they're opponents cant reach or hit they're chin anymore? you here people say its because of the jab jab grab style but All's I see is them beating they're opponents senceless, to me thats exiting, I geuss if you don't like them for one reason or another and you don't see them taking any punisment, that would be boring. :think

    I find them boring because I think they are capable of so much more. Yet they are content to jab there opponent into exhaustion before going for the KO.

    Watch the Chambers fight Wlad could of had him out of there in the second round if he wanted to but did not want to take the risk.

    Partially true, but mainly because they are stiff, robotic, boring as hell, and lack real personalities. :yep

    Its strange watching Wlad, he can bore the pants of you for how many rounds, then do what he did to Peter(rematch), Brock.

    I do think Wlad was more exciting last time out against Peter.

    The main problems is their tendency to tie up their opponents (also leaning on them from above to wear them out) whenever actual exchanges happen. So when they aren't using distance, they are preventing their opponents from punching via clinch tactics. I look at alot of Wlad's fights from 2005-08 and I feel like the refs aren't doing their jobs....Wlad is allowed to hold too much.

    The result is they almost never get hit, and there is alot of hugging, which makes for a boring fight.

    For this reason it would be interesting to see the Klits face someone like Ustinov, Valuev, even Dimitrenko....the size and reach advantages would be nullified, so they would have to use speed and experience to win.

    In Wlad's defense he does seem to be trying to make his style more interesting, and in this last fight Peter was the one initiating the clinches.

    And for that, my friend, we have WWE. They have personalities and chairs. Let the boxers box and clowns entertain.

    Yeah, its real exiting watching an alltime great stomp a tomato can.

    I just post this vid of Wlad dominating a can because you posted Tyson dominating one. Wlads attack was more measured, but none the less dominating. And the results are very similar.

    :lol: Why do you equate PERSONALITY with clowning?
    Sugar Ray Leonard possessed tons of PERSONALITY and so did Marvin Hagler and Hearns, yet none of these true ATGs would ever be mistaken for clowns.
    Neither would they be mistaken for stiff, robotic, personality-less and boring clones. :good

    If they where more aggressive it would be easier to be a fan of their style. ;)

    The point is that Stewart was WAY outta of his ability in this fight. EVERYONE watching it knew what the result would be. Same goes for Kltschkos easy wins.

    Cmon man, people were calling Shannon Briggs a can last week, and he would absolutely murder Stewart, and probably Tyson as well.

    Now I remember why I have been only the Klitschko bandwagon since 98. Domination to the extreme.

    People dislike the K bros because they are doing what Foreman couldnt do, what Ali coudnt do, and what Tyson, Louis and Marciano couldnt do.
    They are dominating their sport well beyond the typical age of prime. And doing it like they were still 30 y/o.
