This poll is in response to the hilariously one-sided, biased and racist poll options in Tunney's thread here.
I should say that there are many Klitschko fans on these boards for whom I have enormous respect, such as ChopperRead, Chase, Lacrimosa, Pirao, and even some of the more biased ones like WladIsTheChamp post some very good posts and avoid the stereotypes indicated in this poll. If all Klitschko fans were like them, there wouldn't be nearly so much hostility to the K bros in the forums. But for every decent K bro fan, there are several like Tunney who conform to the above stereotypes, hence this poll.
Americans, both white and black, aren't used to hearing people celebrate black Americans being consistently defeated by white European fighters.
The racial dynamic of the United States is a very complex situation, one that's somewhat irrelevant to Europeans however.
When they hear Klitschko fans say that fighters like Ali and Tyson wouldnt stand a chance against Wlad it annoys them and makes them uncomfortable.
That's my take on it, at least.
I don't agree with a lot of what the Klitschko fans have to say, but many of their posts really upset a lot of my fellow American fans. They're just being nationalistic and celebrating the fact that, as of now, America has been getting is ass kicked out of the Heavyweight division entirely due to the sole efforts of the Klitscho brothers.
Allot of it has to do with that. It's a fact the K bros are indeed kicking everyone's ass, no one can deny that. They are the best today. But the division is very weak today though.

That doesn't explain why so many Klitschko fans are so laughably biased, so xenophobic, or why so many of them bring race into almost every thread they post in, and claim that anyone who is not a fan must by definition be racist.
not all klitschko fans make ridiculous posts. there are a few notorious ones on here, but you can probably pick any highly touted fighter and find some complete morons on here. especially pacquiao and mayweather - how many frickin IDIOTS are on these boards trolling about those two fighters? tunney surely posts some dumb **** from time to time, but there are far worse posters on here.
The Klitschkos are aristocrats. The Ukraine doesn't relate to them. That's why all their fans are Germans and Canadian immigrants.
uh what?! is this a joke? haha i can't even tell.
im a big klitschko fan and i am born and raised in america - like most people on this board. don't be absurd.
when thinking about the klitschkos in relation to this board, the only people that anyone really complains about is steel hammer and tunney. if you took those two guys off and maybe the other one uh...boxingking500(total moron) then most of the people left supporting the klitschkos would be generally tolerable. however i can't even come CLOSE to keeping track of all the pacquiao/mayweather nutjobs running loose on here.
thats my take anyway
They tend to bring race in the equation and state things like Klitschkos would destroy the greats big men of all time yet vlad got stopped by 3 sub par boxers.
