Not only are they the best heavies on the planet, but they, as humanitarians, have done more for charity and shown more selflessness than any other professional athelete I know of. More than many corporate mucky mucks and far more than the average person ever will. They are the perfect role models for young men and women everywhere, because they did not start out rich. Their abilities got them where they were. The perfect success story. The perfect role models.
Yes, I know this sounds like a Kilitschko sackriding festival, but everything I've said is true.
Yet somehow, there are people who dont like them. I just dont get it.
I just wish they'd fight each other. They're the best HWs so they should fight. I know they're brothers and don't want to but are they boxing to make a living or to make a legacy? Because if it's the latter then they need to fight the best, and too bad but that means fighting each other.
I respect Vitali and Wlad as men and as fighters, it's just that I don't clear my schedule to watch them fight.
If that makes me a xenophobe, then so be it.
i like vitali,wlad is just too boring
its the delusional klitchko nuthuggers on here that people dont like,not the boxers themselves.im sure even the k bros dont believe they are the greatest HW's ever like some of their 'fans' :rofl:
Vitali's style is simply too awkward and ugly for my liking.
Wlad can be boring but also can be fun to watch when he gets his offense going.
Fighters' charity work is admirable but has no effect on my enjoyment of the combat and styles in the ring.

i don't care about their out of ring activities.
vitaly is growing on me, but he has no legit challenges at HW.
wlad is a boring fighter that is so afraid of his own shadow, he won't throw a right hand... i mean pbf potshots, but atleast he changes up the punches.
Im black and a racist, genetic programming, liberal media and white guilt forced upon this nation have influenced my thinking...
OR
I dont like thier fighting style, and their fights seem to come down to the fact they are bigger than the guys they are fighting, i respect them as human beings, but they are boring to me.
The Klitschko's are always someone you can look up to, like role models. They don't drink, don't smoke, and always in great shape. They always respect their opponents, do charity, and so much more. What the hell do you want? You might say: Their style is boring. Maybe they wish they can change as well sometimes (or maybe not) but who really gives a shit when they dominate each f*cking opponent that is put in front of them. I'm sure if you were a boxer, you would fight anyway you feel comfortable but it's f*cking easy for you people to say "Oh he's boring" and this and that. Like them or hate them, we'll never see them lose and they will keep dominating until they retire and earn millions of euros for each fight.
They are dominant, strong and have good skills....
BUT, they lack excitement. I want them to go in there and ktfo of their opponents, not toy and tire them out for 10 rounds then go for the kill. They are hw's, they are suppose to bang away.......
Banging away is what fans want to see, no doubt, but it's not an intelligent way to fight, is it?
The whole point is to hit your opponent while NOT BEING hit. Being successful at this is apparently not exciting to many.

No, I could tell you are white.
The black posters here like Larry and Mangler are always fair and give the Klitschkos credit, just like the black commentators like Steward and Fran Charles always do.
No, it's self-hating white losers like Flawless who seem to despise all white fighters and constantly bash them.
My god u just compared me to flawless. Wow
I admit the brothers are great and contend in any era. All I'm saying is that wlad is not exciting to me. Even Steward admits wlad needs to be more exciting.
I'm sorry I don't think in black and white like u.
You can respect the man....but you don't have to like the man...that is exactly how I feel bout both the Klit Bros....I respect them for all they do and for (at this time) being dominant in the ring.....but I don't like them as boxers....they are just ugly to look at in the ring...and it blows my mind that someone can't exploit their obvious flaws in the ring....that being said...much respect to both....:wave:
Strap on some gloves, hop in the ring and get to exploiting.
lol, jk. But seriously. Anyone can criticize from an armchair.
He was dropped 4 times by Corrie Sanders and ko-ed by Brewster, he also joked on himself in an interview that he does have a glass chin and has to protect it in every fight and he said that in a response to a question that asked why he fights so conservative. If you claim he doesnt have a glass chin then you must surely admit he has a weaker chin at least, he also got dropped three times by Peter, he also got dropped by DAVARRYL WILLIAMSON. Oh by the way he also got dropped in the first round by Steve Pannell, who?, exactly.
I support his way of fighting because it keeps him from losing fights he shouldnt have too, him trying to brawl got him ko-ed by Brewster, Purrity, Sanders, before his power would save him after getting knocked down, now he doesnt even hit the floor cuz of his defense and his power just locks in the win
If you have a glass chin, you go down with barely any punch hitting you.
Sanders had a punch that'd have floored a rhino. Having the Sniper put you down does not mean you have a glass chin.
IN FACT every time Wlad went down, he got back up to fight on.
Brewster got a KO win over Wlad only because Wlad was unable to continue. When Wlad was getting fatiqued, he couldn't keep his hands up, and Brewster nailed Wlad with a vicious left hook WHICH WLAD TOOK without going down. Everyone knows that something fishy went on at the Brewster fight.
Peter didn't "FLOOR" Wlad. Yes, Peter was GIVEN 3 kd's against Wlad by the ref, but if you were watching the HBO broadcast of the fight, you'll hear ALL 3 Commentators, one of which was George Foreman, a man who knows a thing or two about boxing, clearly state that Peter did NOT deserve at least 2 of the three knockdowns he was credited with having. Peter wrestled Wlad down.
In addition, if you remember, Peters big punch was that left hook. Remember what he did to Jeremy Williams? Well Peter his Wlad with that VERY SAME punch at the end of the third (or 5th) and Wlad shook it off and did not go down.
If you have a glass chin, you dont take Peter's best punch and not go down.
I don't think they're hated, its that they have no competition in an extremely weak division....and their styles make them look kinda goofy in the ring. Make people wonder how and why is that nobody out there can beat them.
I give them their props cause they are talented and a couple of really smart mother****ers...just wish there was some competition out there for them.

Im a fan of both guys but some people dont like them because
-Not the all action Mike Tyson type heavyweight that brings excitment
-No good fights to be made with the brothers
-No unified champ
-Wlad fights very safety first
-Not American
-White
I remember the comedian Wanda Sykes (have no idea if I spelled that right) being on Leno flat out saying "They cant have that. I dont like that." about a white guy being heavyweight champ. And Wlad was on the show later.
Indeed...As much as I dislike their styles and discredit their competition, I do like them as individuals and they also do what they have to to win fights. So until someone knocks either of them on their asses, they're the best in the business right now....
I'm white if that's what you're getting at. My god.
Note to anyone that says anything remotely bad about the Klitschko brothers: If you say something bad about them, you must not be white and you must be racist.
Seriously Tunney, you're a good poster and a great boxing fan, but give it a rest with the race card. Not only is it ignorant and off base, but it dillutes your posts and lowers you as a credible poster.
So let me just ask and you can PM me the answer if you want, in case you're embarassed. Did you think I was black just because I have Ali in my sig?
that was a completely sweet burn
