If you crticize them for the bum matches they have....people think its armeggeddon or something......there boring, fight bad competition, and order and make demands about everything...this crap needs to stop...and the whole world outside of europe is rooting to see them on there backsides
I can c how you can call them boring, but its pretty hard to diss on them about their competition when there really is no one out there for them. The 2 fighters that are somewhat a threat (Haye, Arreola) will get their shot at either brother this summer. I dont get why everyone is so adamant that there be only one Champ, i kinda like the idea of 2 brothers dominating a divison and ruling as double champs, it adds a new flavor to a recently dead divsion.
They've been very good for the sport in Europe.
54% of German households tuned in to Vitali-Gomez. The fight was shown all over the world, and made a lot of money.
The people who bash them are usually either Haye fans, or people who want an African-American heavyweight champion.
To me, the Klitschko brothers are the best thing that's ever happened to the sport of boxing! :fing02:
I can dig that certain people like them and all, especially the folk from Europe, but, they're just so f*cking boring! I don't understand how you can say, even as your own opinion, that they are the best thing that has happened to boxing. I actually struggle to sit through an entire fight of theirs, and that's saying something.

That's actually sad.
The question should be why are so many fans so stingy in giving them any credit whatsoever.
Its totally irrational to blame them for the division. Its out of their control. All that can be asked of them is to win and they do, most of the time by k.o. I dont know when knocking people out became "uncool" but it seems that they are the only ones that get haters for k.o'ing opponents.
And we wouldnt know how they would fare if they fought in the 90's. Its possible that they would still be champs, we dont know and theres no way of finding out. I definitely think they would be highly competitive at least. And I seriously doubt Vitaly would get k.o'd by Oliver McCall...
If you are upset at the state of the division then your anger is misplaced by blaming the brothers. You should direct your anger at the American system that cant produce anything to challenge the old Soviet system that now dominates. Any thing less than that and you are revealing yourself as xenophobic and maybe even prejudiced.
Kinda like Teddy Atlas.
what u mean its out there control...anything they say they get...they are at least partially responsible for these bad bum matches...at least lennox lewis is why his fight with vitali was entertaining...now there ordering valuev to face one of them...he doesnt have to do shit...the k's just bark orders, and create these bums they fight with....lets just face up to reality
Yea seriously. Why do people hate on Vitali? Vitali/Lennox was one of the better HW fights recent memory. Vitali isn't boring.
I have nothing against Wlad, but I can see why people don't like him. He can be very boring.
But to be honest, with their size and reach they give ANY HW's trouble, regardless of era, especially Vitali cause he's so hard to hurt.
I would say they're bad for the sport cause they won't fight eachother, but really that doesn't mean anything. With the fukked up sanctioning bodies it would be unlikely to see the division unified anyway, so I don't even really care about that.
They definitely get unwarranted hate.
I agree..
I aint no fan but shit i know Truth when i see it..
VK is fine with me.....
Without the Klitchsko's the Heavyweight Division would be completely dead!!! At least with them the division is on serious life support...
as much as i dont like it, i'll agree with that.

It was 54% of the viewing audience not of every household. If it was the 54% of the population the viewing figures in Germany alone would have been over 45 million.
Im alright with VK his a bad muthafuker he is
Vlad on the other hand i got no time for

race has got nothing to do with this...boxing is supposed to bring people together...and for the record i'm white
I'll only watch a heavweight fight to be honest if its VK against someone half decent and thats a struggle
I'll only watch a Vlad fight if i think theres a chance he can be knocked out
The Klitschko Brothers RULE boxing
They dominate and KO all of their opponents
no i respect them for being champions but fans like myself are only speaking to reality about how bad they are for the sport
If the HW division was better the Klitschkos wouldn't be champions.

We all know where this guy's mouth has been.
