Why Do They Hate On Wlad and Vitali?

Cashtro16y ago

I understand that the division may seem weak but that isn't their fault... And alot of people seem to talk down on them including LEGENDS... I believe for one that Vitali is a good boxer out of the 2, I mean come on the guys loses came from injury and MAJORITY of his wins are KO's, I find that impressive, plus Wlad is the better boxer and has been outboxing his opponents for years now, I dont care that they're NOT Americans which alot of people on this site put them down for but I do respect them for what they've accomplished and done. Much respect to them both from me.

I can understand why some people don't like them from a stylistic perspective, but in terms of dominating an entire division for 7 years... why hate on them, when it's their opposition who's at fault? So many have come and challenged their throne, and so many have been stopped in their tracks. If fighters don't like how they're winning all the time, then they need to do something about it for fuck's sake! :laff2: Don't hate the winning team for what they do best - win.

They dont deserve the hate, they've fought the best the division had to offer. Not their fault the HW division doesn't have any other big names/talent. Kinda reminds me of the hate De la Hoya got from some the boxing community when he was in his prime.

I honestly don't like when people signal out americans. Your on an american site, so when you see hate for Wlad and Vitali well.... your gonna get more americans doing it than other nationalities. Why? Your on an american site. Anyways, Wlad and Vitali get hated on for the same reason Floyd gets hated on. When your THAT much better than everyone, people will want to see you lose. Humans in general love the underdog. I don't really watch HWs because I can't relate to them, their waaay bigger than me. So I don't really watch them, so I don't really have anything bad to say about the K2 bros. Thats a great point right there
