    This is a tough one for me. I actually get more excited to watch a Wlad fight, than a Mayweather bout. Thats due to the fact one of my dreams is to see Wlad knocked out again, what a great night that would be.

    As far as whose the more exciting fighter, probably Mayweather by a slight margin, Wlad gets the knockout, but it's usually a very boring fight up to that piont. Mayweather on the other hand doesn't get the knockout all the time, but his boxing is beautiful to watch up to the final bell.

    Isn't this a contradiction in terms?

    Klitschko by far, and that is "both" Klitschkos. Looks at their knockout ratios.

    I'm begging to believe I'm far too demanding a fight fan for boxing.

    Anyone wanna help me start a fight club?

    I always enjoy watching Klitschkos fight. They sell out all the time.

    What, in recent years? That's the only way this is a remotely viable question.

    See, with Mayweather, there's a significant spike in quality the further back in his career (and lower in weight) you go.

    You don't exactly have that luxury with Wladimir - you can't say "Oh he was such a beast at light heavy and cruiserweight..."

    This is oranges and tangerines.

    Vlad is boxing 101 and Vitali is an animal within a ring.

    Mayweather would knock them both out at the same time.

    Wlad. His KO ratio is much higher and he has a history of gassing.

    So you never know what may happen, but it must surely will not go the distance.

    Wit hFloyd it is the other way around. You almost certainly know what will happen. Floyd will run around for 12 rounds. Sometimes it ends before time, after Floyd has run around poking for all the previous rounds.

    Klitscko, he's lost a few, but had tougher competition (combined with inconsistancy) For a while, after those ko loses, he fought like he was scared a bit. Last fight he looked best in long time. I'm no Mayweathe rfan by the way, he had easier opponents like a worn out Gatti. Also heavies are more ko prone, making fights more dramatic and exciting.

    Mayweather. Sure Wlad has a higher KO ratio, but his fights are so boring I'd rather watch 12 rounds of pure allround skill in Mayweather than 7 rounds of jabbing and an occasional right hand in Wlad.
