    If KO's are boring, then I guess you could say that Wlad is a boring fighter. But, I don't see it that way.

    I think Vitali is more exciting couse he isn't the more cautious type like his brother Wlad.

    I don't think hes boring, hes just doing whats best. Part from round 9 and 10 the Ibragimov fight was pretty boring but its not mainly his fault.

    Yeah, since he started training with Steward, he's become incredibly dull. Pre-Sanders, he was impressive to watch. What's amusing is that fact that so many Wlad Klit fans consistently knock Lennox Lewis for supposedly being a boring overly cautious oaf when Wlad's last few fights have been much worse than any performance Lewis ever put on.

    You can't blame Wladimir Klitschko for the lack of good opposition, he has faced the top guys in the division. What he should be blamed for is his reluctance to fight. Put those same bums in with George Foreman or Muhammad Ali and they would get rid of them the first or second round.

    He does what Heavyweights are supposed to do and that is knock people out. I believe he has about 8 KO's in his last 10 fights.

    The hilarious thing is according to the Klitschko haters the only way one of his fights is exciting is if he loses. Why is that?

    Sure the Ibragimov fight was not great and it was not totally Klitschko's fault. I can name 5 Heavyweight Title fights this decade that were more boring than that fight.

    That being said, I much prefer to watch his brother fight. He is more willing to mix it up, clinches very rarely if at all. Vitali goes for the kill.

    I don't think he is boring, I just think he lacks good opposition who come to win. After all it takes two to tango. He shouldn't have this problem soon though. With come forward guys like Haye, Arreola and Povetkin coming through the fights available should be quite exciting.

    He should absolutely be blamed for refusing to effectively engage his over-matched opponents. In his last fight, he could have easily banged Rahman's corpse out in a round or two if wanted.

    Exactly right. In terms of potential he is a class above the sick opposition that he must endure. The fact that he has a problem with these bums is clear evidence that he is not a fighter at heart.
