    Maybe because Wlad's a heavyweight and generally people like to see heavyweights slug it out more so than boxers in the lower divisions.

    No, I'm not. I've watched just about every fight he's had on tv. Sure, he was capable of letting loose on weaker opponents, but recall him grabbing, holding, and rabbit punching all throughout his career. I just don't enjoy watching his fights -- never have.

    I'm in no way a Wlad hater (read my latest article if you need "proof"), but I find Hopkins much more entertaining to watch than Wlad.

    I enjoy tactical prowess and technical genius, and I even give Wlad some credit on this front, but Hopkins is a lot more versatile and adaptable than Wlad is, IMHO.

    You're an obvious Borenard fan. Borenard was always boring for the most part. Sure, the Trinidad fight was fun to watch, but man, fights like the Eastman fight, Wright, Taylor, Allen, Joppy ect.-- boring.
