    Of course, because it ruins they're whole argument. If they pick Wlad they admit what everyone else see's. If they go with someone else they'll be asked to explain. Did you notice the 3 who haven't vored Wlad have gone scarce instead of explaining their choice? Probably all Freedom alts anyway! :hey

    So does everyone else other than trolls. Wlad is a terrific HW. His style though? Urgh. It's not only non-fan-friendly - hell, B-Hop, Floyd and Rigo are rarely involved in exciting fights - it's just insultingly boring and his hugging makes for insanely dull fights and involves little skill. He's also gotten worse in that department. The Povetkin fight was probably even less enjoyable than the Ibragimov debacle. Easily one of the worst high profile fights to ever be televised across the world.

    Wlad has the potential to get rid of his overmatched opponents without boring us to death but he chooses not to. Floyd, BHop and Rigo aren't really in the position to just bomb everyone out which is why they'll get away with fighting boring - Wlad however, has no excuse.

    I never found Tszyu particularly exciting, so I choose him. Even now, under the correct circumstances Wlad may be in an exciting fight.

    THIS is what is so very frustrating about the man to most fight fans!

    54 votes for Wlad, no more than 2 for any other fighter. Unprecedented!

    More than 90% and 56 posters (so far) find Wlad the most boring. I don't think I've ever seen such a lopsided poll!

    I agree. That's because he's unwilling to take the risk even if that risk is pretty small. On the other hand, he does change his style when facing big, strong opponents where he doesn't want to spend his energy if that won't help him get his opponent tired enough, and those fights are usually among the more crowd-pleasing ones. In those cases he relies on his superior speed and movement, although he's always keeping the risk as minimized as possible. After all, those are the reasons that have kept him on the top for such a long time, he wouldn't be so dominant if he didn't have the ability to do that.

    He's not, but he is eastern European therefore useful for this thread.

    It is pretty obvious the only Superheavyweight in this poll would be labeled the most boring.
