    Of course!!!

    That's why Tyson's fights were so big! People went to see a knock-out!

    And let us get this straight. Klitschko isn't boring because his fights take so long.. they are boring because many of them are one-sided, and even then, he'll just jab round after round.

    THAT's what's boring. Not the length of the fight - Because Vitali's fights can sometimes be quite entertaining...

    If it helps you to understand, look at it like this:

    3 minutes of sex, or 36 minutes of wanking. Which would you choose?

    I don't get why anybody can call Vitali boring. Of the top of my head the only boring fight he was in I can think is his encounter with the 'Kingpin'. I can hardly blame Vitali for that either where his opponent just went into a shell for the entire fight and didn't even attempt to throw a punch.

    What you get with Vitali is a fighter even now at 40 who throws 70 plus punches a round, always comes forward and always looks for the KO. What's not to like?

    I think what people find boring about Klitschko fights is the inevitablity of the outcome.

    Uhm just like dozens of other great fighters you mean? It almost appears to some the jab is an illegal punch.

    You can be skilled and have a plan B without refusing to engage and being boring, Pro boxing is about entertainment as well as skill and the greatest Champions do both, Wlad is skilled and does things effectivley and correctley but he is boring because he is happy to go through the motions and just get the W. Theres nothing wrong with that but its the reason why he will always be very good and not great !

    How twisted.

    Comparing either klit to any ATG is akin to comparing Elton John to Stevie Wonder. Just ain't no comparison, but mucho "wishful thinking".
