Why doesnt klitschko get the same respect as former great fighters who were saftey first, had defence and always wasnt great to watch, such as jack johnson and gene tunney, tommy loughran, maxie rosenbloom. Wladimir has never avoided no one and is the true art of boxing hit and not be hit. After he shuts haye up i think he will get his due respect as a truly great fighter. On a side note how can bert sugar give this man no respect when he ranks fighters as maxi rosenbloom so high who got the nick name slapsie maxi cos he didnt want to commit to a puch so he would just slap or paw his punches. Bert is full of bull shit!
I don't know about Foreman giving Evander "fits" and Evander beat Bowe in the 2nd fight. Its not like in any of the fights Bowe was just dominating. Bowe had more skills than Wlad. Wlad is not as quick with his punches as Bowe.
are you nuts? wlads hand speed is by far superior than prime bowe's. he also throws his punches straighter with more power. bowe fought better on the inside,,,but thats all he had over wlad. wlad would have knocked out any version of bowe. bowe had no defense and avoided punchers like the plague
You can discredit ANY fighter by saying his division or opposition isn't any good.
It just shows you don't like him.
Thats stupid, ofcourse you can thats one of the only things you can critisize a fighter on. Wladimir has fought the best, and he's looked good but in the grand scheme of things his opponents and the manner in which he dispatched them (recently he's been very boring) are subpar in comparison to the other ATG Heavyweights.
Wlad will never be a superstar unless his style gets more excting or develops lots of charisma
A prime Morrison, and a 45 year old Foreman would both KO Wlad.
Name one opponent on Wlads resume' whos as good as either of those two fighters. Wlad may have the worst heavyweight resume' in the history of the sport.
As far as white heavyweights go Id rank Tommy Morrison ahead of Wlad Klitschko simply because machine gun fought in a tougher era.
Morrison has a win over a Hall of Famer: George Foreman
Wlad does not have a single hall of famer on his resume' win or lose
Morrison survived a Draw against Ross Puritty
Wlad was ktfo by Ross Puritty
Morrison recieved high hbo ratings
Wlad has always recieved shiit hbo ratings
Wlad would kill Morrison within a round and he would do the same to that version of Foreman.

People hate Wlad because he is a coward with no desire to be undisputed champ.
When Lennox was #1 he made it his business to unify all of the belts, Wlad has shown no such interest.
Lennox fought guys with belts, he fought giant monsters like Michael Grant, he fought #1 contenders like Vitali and he avenged all of his losses. He was a genuine heavyweight champ.
Wlad is a fraud, and should be ranked below his brother.
the reason is becuz he hasnt had that ONE hard opponite yet, and he doesnt have the extra little charisma. like evander proved he had heart, and fought bowe, lewis, tyson, exc. wlad doesnt have any memorable opponites, or had to dig deep. and about you saying that marciano had a less then spectacular compotition, your right, but he had that something about him, he was 5'10, 185 pounds, almost no boxing ability, but he won all the time, a person like that is inspiring becuz it makes one feel that all need is hard work and decication to be great, you dont have to be mr. univers. it also dosent help that he fights boring as hell.
Wlad is faster, stronger and way more skilled than Bowe
Bowe couldn't even throw a straight punch. He got exposed and destroyed twice by Andrew Golota.
Yeah...destroyed with low blows...and that wasn't a prime Bowe. That was a barely training fat and outta shape Bowe.
For me wlad beats a prime evander, he has never been able to handle the tue big men of the sport, as bowe and lewis proved, even an old george gave him fits. Wlad would be to big he would keep evender on the end of his jab

It doesn't matter whether Wlad wins by 2nd round KO as he did with Austin or by 11th round round KO like with Thompson, you're still going to hate him because he's white.god ur dumb...im russian btw...i don hate wlad i hate his di-ck riding fans who make him out to be some God who cant be touched...he has a boring style and he doesnt want to hold his feet and go to war. he wouldnt last against lennox lewis, tyson, bowe, holyfield, etc
Kids today just have a damn ADD all over, they cant follow anything that is more complex then 2+2
It's too bad the really dumb ones still figure out how to put the dick in the vagina by age 14.
He's a good fighter but Wlad couldn't deal with real heavyweights in the past. Its scary to think wat Frazier wudda done to that questionable chin. Prime Evander beats him. Prime Lennox wud be a good fight but I think Lennox wud win.
Yea I'm racist...sure...

That's true, but it's futile to argue with these creeps, my friend.
After Wladimir KOs Haye in June it will quiet them down a bit.
no it wont, it would make it worse. because if wlad does win, he will do it in a boring way and jab him to death and throw 4 right hands the whoel fight:bigeyes:

Well I don't really like him and the division is weak. Of his last few opponents Rahman and Ibragimov are the only ones who have done anything notable.
