    Wlad, he has more class, does tons of charity work, and is an ambassador to the sport

    and no, I'm not picking him because he's a white EE

    Boxing has a reputation of having a lot of criminals. But there have also been lots of decent, law-abiding, respectable boxers:

    Gene Tunney
    Joe Frazier
    Max Schmeling
    Vernon Forrest
    Roy Jones
    James Braddock

    Floyd may be the better fighter in the ring, but, in spite of his timid boxing style, Wlad is infinitely classier than Floyd. Outside the ring, Floyd routinely demonstrates a total lack of class. He is a gangster wannabe who has his "boyz" take care of his business in the street. (Unless, apparently, it is against a woman). However, Floyd can take comfort in the fact that I suppose he has more class than Floyd Senior, and Roger. But, Roger is ten times funnier than Floyd. Floyd's attempts at humor in the "All Access" shows are painfully juvenile and remarkably unfunny.

    Floyd is rather timid in the ring.

    For example, when he had Guerrero broken down in the later rounds, Floyd was afraid to go for the KO.

    I wonder how timid Floyd would be fighting guys 20 and 30lbs smaller than him? He'd crush them and you'd just say he beat up a smaller guy. At least he'd be WILLING to crush that smaller guy. We need not even get into the vast difference in skills between both he and Wlad opponent's. :yep

    Regardless of his fights in terms of excitment, Wladimir Klitschko can't be questioned in terms of Sportsmanship and an ambassador for boxing, how many fighters would keep calm after being spat in the face by a thug Chisora, His conduct in the Haye build up, the fact he does ridiculous amounts of charity, the guy donated his Gold Medal to help kids. Wladimir is the best ambassador in boxing today in fact maybe ever, he is the most intelligent fighter out their as well as the most gentlemanly. I hate his fights and style but you can;t but respect him as a man.

    There's a certain type of person who likes the way Mayweather acts outside of the ring.

    How is he an 'ambassador' to the sport?

    Wlad done nothing for boxing only disgrace it and reduce what was once the most valued prize in sport down to Eurosport level.
    When Wlad became champ he killed HW boxing.

    Mayweather is carrying this sport. Kids want to be Mayweather. Nobody wants to be Grabimir Klinchko

    Yeah, they're called idiots. Doesn't mean one can't appreciate the way he fights inside the ring, right?
