    (Wladimir) Klitschko fights are kind of like Golden State Warriors games. Nearly an hour of repetition, and then last two minutes get really interesting.

    Jesus are you for real ?, not everyone finds them boring ok, do you not get that simple fact ?, and what in gods name is the rest of that post meant to mean ?, it makes no sense at all, are you 12 years old ?

    What the **** is this meant to mean in English

    "Who said it's their faul and what has that got to do with how much you want to watch a fight? If it was their fault that would make the fight less entertaining?"

    :huh

    The Klitschkoes have an enormous size, weight, and reach advatantage over the available contenders (think Haye, Adamek, Chambers, Povetkin).

    In addition, they have every advantage in terms of experience and tactics, which is why Chambers could get past Dimitrenko but not Wlad.

    To give a good fight, what is needed is a heavy with the size AND the skill-set. Eg. Lennox Lewis.

    I think it will be fun to see Vitali fight Valuev (i see this as his next fight) as it will be interesting to see Vitali being the smaller man for once and what his strategy will be. Vitali wants to be the first and only man to knock Valuev out...that's why he wants the fight so bad.

    Right now it looks like boxing is waiting for either the Klitschkoes to retire or another big man to step up.

    1) it's cheap (around 5 dollars through my local tv station's website) 2) though not competitive, there are interesting moments in their fights 3) both brothers behave like grown-ups inside and outside the ring 4) I like the HW division, even if it is poor atm. All these things = value for money. If it cost 50 dollars that wouldn't be the case but it doesn't so there.

    I haven't watched a live Klitschko fight in years.

    Does that mean you prefer to watch them after the fact, knowing the outcome?

    I just don't enjoy watching them fightt... to be fair, I don't watch a lot of HW boxing these days
    Obviously it's not all their fault... the styles they fight are extremely effective at getting the job done against the opposition they face
    Haye vs either Klitschko I'll watch... it will be entertaining to see their styles against a HW that won't be standing directly in front of them.

    As I said in the first post (which some of these idiots ignored), It's no one's fault. The opponents either get intimidated or are outmatched. Everyone's doing the best they can (Wlado could sometimes step it up, though), it's boring because it's so thoroughly uncompetitive. It's just the way it is.

    Can't even imagine what the title-holders will be like when the Klitschko's retire.

    No point watching Mayweather in that case. In fact, the favourite nearly always wins in boxing- why bother at all?

    I think that's what he said. He's not happy with the action he sees, so he's not gonna bother watching until the comp steps up. Pretty easy to understand.

    I'd rather watch Mayweather than either Klitschko
    Firstly you have his technical ability, then you have opponents that can bring something to the table with different styles... and obviously being at a lower weight there's usually more output in a fight.
