I think it's refreshing that a professional athlete has a social conscience and realizes there is more to life than their respective sport.

Then again, more people would rather read comic books than Shakespeare, but that doesn't mean comic books are a superior literary form.

Hey don't lump "americans" all together *******! I've been following the K bros since day one and any one who follows tennis knows who Nadal and Federer are. Don't be a bigot to prove your point with an ignorant fool!

Vitali is the man.
He fought already against corruption and for the democracy in his country.
A man acting for change!

So using your logic, not even Europeans give a sht about Europe? Because I'm pretty sure that Europe has like 10% of world's total population.

There is no logic. It's just a trolling statement to rile people up.

I've got to say, if this fight is cancelled it would suck massively, but like others have pointed out in this thread, there are more important things than boxing, and I respect Vitali's priorities to his countrymen.
