and the refs let the get away with it. Its going to be nearly impossible to beat them if you allow them to stiff arm the whole fight. How can the refs always allow that. Vitali isnt as bad as Wlad but he's still bad enough. It basically makes it impossible to hit them and it makes the fight so ugly and boring. They never let fighters in the lower divisions get away with that but the Klit brothers do it all the time. And when I say all the time I literaly mean "all the time".
Its so bad that there opponents have to basically abandoned there natrual stance because they cant even see or they have to move around it and throw some crazy punch for them to even land anything. Infact, most of the opponents 1st motion is to slap there hand out the way and then throw a punch. It just completely throws you off your game. The Klits are good, big enough as it is, and they both have good jabs so why do you need to do that? The refs have to stop allowing that. What makes me even madder is that none of there opponents ever really complain about it. Its just like they accept it.
Wlad is terrible. I mean he doesnt even try to hide it or pull it back at all. He'll keep it out there the whole fight and will back hand you at times. That isnt fair. It gets to the point where its basicaly not a boxing match anymore and both guys will just start dancing. They will both just try to knock eachothers arm down so they keep twirling there arms and then try to sneak in a punch. Its so ugly to watch. The bottom line is that there going to be nearly impossible to beat by a smaller man if you let the face guard all fight. Its illegal, now start calling it and penalyzing them. Then maybe we will see some real action. You cant be 6 inches taller then all your opponents and face guard
Alot of fighters do it like you say, to find range. Then do other things off of it. The brothers basically just leave it there the whole fight. Every second of the round and will rarely do anything off of it except for basic stuff. Its also alot different when you already are 6'7 or whateva. If they were 6ft and tried to do it then it wouldnt be a big deal but at there height you have to look up right into it the whole fight. Whenever the little guys do it I hear the HBO guys say that the ref should stop letting the guy do it but they never say anything about the Klits. Ive even seen Floyd do it but he does it for like 2 seconds and he always gets warned. Ive seen other guys do it to find the range but its just for a few seconds. These guys do it all fight long, espically Wlad. Its fo unfair and it makes the fight totally boring as they dont throw any combos off it or try to be dedepetive
Please. Floyd doesn't get warned for it and really no one does unless they push off with it. The Klitchskos don't do that. It's to find the range or to trick them and they throw a stiff jab right after.
I agree Wlad could step it up to make it less boring, but still. The stiff arm thing is not a valid compliant imo.
Ali, Foreman, and other heavyweights do it to. It's to guage the range.
Lennox Lewis did it alot.
I don't see people whinging about him doing it.
I guess things are just different when it comes to the Klitschkos though.
LOL, Lebron is a cheater too because he is almost 6'9 270 & probably the best athlete alive. I guess a Shaq is cheating too. Lennox Lewis is such a cheater. lol lol lol lol lol lol lol. For real though, STOP HATIN SON!

Nobody at HW currently will beat them, and it ain't cuz they 'cheat.'
Thats not saying a whole lot considering the current crop of HW's. I just saw the preview of the next fight where they tried to portray Eddie Chambers like the next big hope. Eddie freakin Chambers. Give me a break
