Why Don't We Appreciate the Klitschko's???

I like them okay, and I respect the shit out of them, but I don't like watching their fights...

Having both hurts either of them. With two neither can be the best heavyweight because "they can't fight each other" So they each are stuck with being half the best! Wlad is protected in a way but Vitali is there to take the punchers and Wlad gets the boxers like Chambers and Thompson. I'd rather see Wlad get Arreola and rematch Peter but they are careful and smart.

because heaweight contenders today suck balls.. But it's not the Klitchos fault, they are fighting in an era where the competition is really slim.. I mean u look at alll those out of shape heavyweights today.. And yes their style is hard to watch.

Skills are always skills but if a skilled fighter dosen't entertain no one want's to watch it. Wlad has skills but he dosen't entertain, watching his fights are as fun as Floyd vs. Baldomir. On top of that Wlad has a glass chin in a division where the biggest punchers reside. He is dominant but in a boring and carefull way. I can't see much entertainment value. Vitali on the other hand is a warrior who comes for a fight. I appreciate his skills and watching him.

Well at least for me, I don't like watching Wlad fight cause for a HW he never goes for the knockout, shit he barely throws the right hand, he stands there a swats your shots away and throws jabs all night. when he actually throws and lands a right it does damage, but he doesn't pull it out. I prefer Vitali, at least he uses both hands.

Because they aren't American or black. I really think that this is the real reason...

The media is positive about Pacquiao and Duran, so the sheeple are too. And they are not white, and that helps... The media loves David Beckham because he's part Jewish. Whatever you say, Hitler.

Because they aren't American or black. Yeah because America hates white athletes so much lol. People like you and Carnivore are so pathetically racist and ignorant that it's funny. Case and point: Gerry Cooney and Andrew Golta became millionaires without ever beating a single legitimate top ten opponent.

I dont get why people think the Klitschko brothers are underappreciated. I mean, they get HUGE ratings in Germany last time I checked. What was that stat, Vitali vs Gomez 60% of the population was watching or something? and there are plenty of people on this website that give the Klitschko brothers lots of praise, too. and if you mean Americans dont give the Klitschko brothers a lot of respect, well, is that so much of a surprise? let me ask you this, if Pacquiao wasnt from the Phillipines, do you think they would care about him in the slightest? national pride in a fighter isnt really something to be ashamed about, it happens all the time. I think one of the the biggest problems with the Klitschko brothers is their lack of opponents. actually, Arreola vs Vitali did very good ratings with Hbo from what Ive heard...so if you do put an interesting opponent in front of the Klitschko bros, American fans will care. another thing(it has to be said) is their style of fighting. for example, Wladimir was actually on a late night talk show one night, and got a very positive response. however, the fight he was about to go into was none other than his fight against Sultan Ibragimov. yea...after that, he probably aint going to get on a talk show again anytime too soon. there are plenty of Americans that give the Klitschko bros plenty of respect, and I am one of them. I think they are very good boxers, and even better as people. they have some sinkers, but overall, I do enjoy their fights.

Vitali is alright. Wlad is f@g and can die in a fire for all I care. I'd rather have pieces of my skull removed than watch him fight. if u actually step into a ring, that might happen. good luck with that.

Yeah we all know the division sucks, but 9 kos? He cant find someone at least in the double digits? what makes u think that he "chose" johnson? btw, did u forget that arreola was a banger with a high ko ratio? he fought him, what, a few months ago?

Vitali is alright. Wlad is f@g and can die in a fire for all I care. I'd rather have pieces of my skull removed than watch him fight.

They have amongst the highest k.o ratios of ALL TIME. How is k.o'ing 90% of your opponents boring brah?? Fuk Americans anyway, they're just a bunch of braindead dickheads. They obviously don't know quality when they see it. I think American's are just jealous and clinging to a bygone HW era. And racists. Clearly. haha. quoted for truth. just consider americans as mentally retarded. then you can deal with american level of thought in an appropriate way. i'm american btw, so i have to deal with it everyday. no offence intended to those with actual mental disabilities.

Yeah we all know the division sucks, but 9 kos? He cant find someone at least in the double digits?

Thank you for saving me the typing effort. how the hell is vitali cherry picking? he is fighting everyone and tried to fight queer ass haye. who else is there?

I challenge you Mr Squirrel to find a heavyweight more feather fisted than a guy that has only 9 kos in 24 professional fights. I didnt even know you were allowed to get title shots with less than 10kos. how the hell is vitali cherry picking? he is fighting everyone and tried to fight queer ass haye. who else is there?

Oh good grief and if they only fought Europeans you would bash them for that :pat: I challenge you Mr Squirrel to find a heavyweight more feather fisted than a guy that has only 9 kos in 24 professional fights. I didnt even know you were allowed to get title shots with less than 10kos.

Oh good grief and if they only fought Europeans you would bash them for that :pat: Cherry picking feather-fisted midgets from the US is not going to work.

they are sooooo boooooooooooooooring Imagine if Johnson had won and become the HW champ. Talk about boring. P.S. What's 9% of 5? Enjoy your exciting American fighter.

No. That fight was stopped because of a cut, like the Ortiz-Diaz fight tonight was stopped because of a cut. Every boxer has TKOs like that, you're just a pathetic hater. :nono: That is not a cut, THIS IS A CUT: http://www.hbo.com/boxing/img/events/2003/0621_lewis_klitschko/482x246/action_06.jpg http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/images/39192000/jpg/_39192620_ap_klitschko_300.jpg Anyways the biggest name on either Klitschko win list is Sam Peter. Sam would barely make it on Lennox's top 10 opponents all time. They will get respect when they beat either Haye or Valuev. Cherry picking feather-fisted midgets from the US is not going to work.
