    I see that Wlad Klitshcko has a higher KO percentage than both Mike Tyson and Pacquaio............if people would rather watch Pac and Tyson fight over Wlad, does that make them racist?

    Lets see.....Tyson and Wlad beat bums....only Tyson did it quicker and more exciting........they both sold out arenas....only Tyson did it in 3 continents...while Wlad only does it in Germany......

      Tyson was exciting but you're a Floyd fan, you should know what makes "business sense" with Wlad.

        You're not addressing the facts. He doesn't fight inside, doesn't throw body punches, backs straight up and holds on till the ref separates him. He doesn't use his hook as often as he could and rarely attacks in an aggressively. He's ko's come from playing it safe, plain and simple. And just because he sells out doesn't mean he's exciting. Floyd sells out and I don't find him very exciting either.

          I like watching skills. Seek and destroy with skills I wouldn't mind.

          I do not like when all two boxers do is trade punches in the middle of the ring. Some of that is fine, but I'm damn sure you weren't trained in a gym to do only that.

            I see him fighting and throwing body punches at times. I do hate it when he clinches. In fact I hate it when anyone ****ing clinches and isn't hurt. His KOs come from being a bad ass. Maybe not a bad ass like Tyson was in his prime but you should know the meaning of being systematically broken down. Many of the pressure fighters we like do that. Wlad just does it differently.

              Tyson actually knocked people out. Wlad jabs them until the ref or corner stops the fight. BIG difference.

                Very, very rarely does he go to the body and he doesn't work it because he is content with the jab. And if he's one of the strongest fighter why not fight out of the clinch. Example: in Bowe-Holyfield they often fought out of the clinches ducking and slipping punches and than countering...that makes for excitement! I got no problem with how Wlad fights, he wins and in the end that's what counts. But it is boring as hell. When you have as many advantages over opponents as he does people want to see them used and the poll reflects that.

                  wlad plays it safe because he's got a suspect chin. i can appreciate what he does because of it. it's entertaining to watch dumb fighters like amir khan but at the same time it's also frustrating.

                    You said it perfectly Jab, and this right here is my issue with the Wlad and Vitali. They aren't versatile, they're dominant but this is why I usually don't find them entertaining.
