    I don't find either the Kiltschko's or Mayweather boring because I like tactical boxing to be honest.

    Opinions vary
    I hate wlads style

    I would imagine the majority on here prefer vitali, just like they rate him higher as a fighter in their prime

    I would be really surprised if anyone enjoyed Vitali's snoozefests like Kevin Johnson fight.

    Yes cherry pick the worst of his fights
    Did Wlad throw a punch vs Fury?
    Was his fight with Povetkin a wrestling match?

    I bet you were confident the majority on this forum would pick Wlad as the better brother in their prime. How did that work out?

    anyway neither are exciting really, Wlad in particular was very cautious and boring

    I will add that at least both brothers in their prime would smash the two overrated brits, not sure about Usyk though. I could see him outworking both to a decision

    Yes

    Edit

    This is a thread about Wlad, not the fighters above and I can't really be bothered to debate them if anyone disagrees

    Let's just say I believe they are overhyped, because the public hated the reign of the brothers and these 2 with another hypejob in Wilder brought some excitement again, though I wouldn't pick any of them to beat someone like a prime Ruddock or even Bruno

    Thankfully a real great in Usyk grabbed the reigns and saved the division. I maay not rate him as high as some, but he is 100% an ATG and way better than the above and would also beat both brothers

    My point of view!

    I don't need to. 99% of them were snoozers, especially post 2008.

    I wasn't. I knew Vitali would win as he is one of the most overrated fighters ever.

    Wlad at least had the knockout punch which made things more exciting.

    Ok, I don't really care that much. Do you think these 2 are really worth debating? I don't particularly fancy having another back and forward regarding these 2. It is not like Louis v Ali, or Holyfield v Usyk, or Tyson v Frazier. Now these are guys worthy of attention and debate, not 2 robots

    All good, man. I agree with you, there are better things to do than argue about which Klitschko was more boring, lol.

    Lol, but to be fair I think we are being a little harsh on them. They were bloody effective and I honestly don't think Fury or Aj beats the wlad that fought haye

    I love Wlad to death. I just think Vitali is overrated, but it's just my opinion, which majority of people don't agree with. That's all good tho.
