And yet when I raised the question of "who should they fight," DiBella was quiet for once. I pressed him. He had no answer. And neither does anyone else.
It is not as though the brothers -- good guys out of the ring, too, by the way -- are ducking anyone. (And, no, not fighting each other doesn't count, because I don't blame them for not fighting each other.) On the contrary. Unlike, say, Floyd Mayweather Jr., the brothers seek out the best possible opponents regularly.

dude..it was 5 months ago and he hasnt signed to fight anyone else..what are you talking about??
It was 6 months ago, he hasn't signe anyone to fight, which means he won't fight within the next 3 months, plus he turned down a PAC fight
Thats what he's talking about
Floyds resume ****s all over the Klit bros
maybe, but the K-bros don't have the kind of competition in their weight division like wifebeater jr does, but wifebeater jr rather take vacation to default on rent, beat the mother of his children, and make racist rants on ustream
It's easy for the Klitschko's to fight everyone at HW because everyone will give in to what ever they want except Haye. But for Mayweather, the fight people want to see him in, Mayweather gave in to all of this fighters demands but the fighter disagreed with Mayweather's only demand.
Also, the Klitschko's get a large amount of money no matter who they fight because of their contracts with the networks in Europe. Mayweather has to sell a PPV by himself if he decides to fight those no name, unpopular boxers at WW-JMW.

cry a river flomo.
you act like wifebeater jr is doing us a favor by fighting the best. it's his fukkin job!!!
That fatboy is acting like there is some plethora of heavyweight threats for the Klitchkos to take on. The heavyweight division has been a joke for a long time. The Klitchkos though talented, haven't exactly had big threat opponents during their era.
nice job rafael, telling it like it is. You are never going to see a story about the kltischkos ducking someone or for beating their girlfriends/wives, unlike mayweather.
and he's still undefeated without excuses light weught drained yada yada yada
save it please
Floyd couldn't care less about facing the best opponents. He stated his reason VERY CLEARLY for un-retiring...
he came back for big money fights, not big time challenges. he's in the check-cashing business, not in the all-time-legacy business. Can't blame him, but then again you can't blame his detractors and critics, either.
See...Floyd and Lebron are one and the same. Lebron wonders why people don't like him (he's oblivious to the fact that he's a self-centered, egomaniacal narcissist). Floyd (another self-centered, egomaniacal narcissist) wonders the same thing.
They both spit in the faces of their respective fans, and just don't give a f**k about it. And worst of all....they both played the race card like cowards.
THAT'S FINE! Just don't expect the masses to like you. And don't keep saying that it doesn't hurt you, because it does. It's killing them inside that they aren't liked.
Kobe just don't give a f**k, and now I'm a fan of his.....I used to despise him with every ounce of hate I could muster. And now, I appreciate how good he actually is and was.
Nice job Rafael, telling it like it is. You are never going to see a story about the Kltischkos ducking someone or for beating their girlfriends/wives, unlike Mayweather.
It's a good point. The difference is that Mayweather is fighting in one of the strongest divisions possible but does not fight the best often. I think he feels that he doesn't have to, but he does.
The Klitschko's will fight anyone and are fighting in the weakest division imaginable, I really don't think they would pass even a opportunity they were doomed to lose. Their opponents are totally afraid of them though XD Like complete opposites...
**** don't both of the Klits hold degrees? Sure Vitali showboats alot and isn't always terribly respectful in a fight, but neither of them have any controversy outside of the ring, which is such a breath of relief/Show of how a TRUE professional should behave.
Granted the best in Klitschkos department are a far cry from Floyd's, but still damn, it messes with the fanbase...If you want to be the best show you can beat the best, Noone cares if you ****ing lose, just get up and take that rematch!
Their is no comparison between Floyd's legacy and both the Klit's combined, but I do not blame the Klits for that, I blame their lazy ass, heartless, gutless opponents for that.
Sally-Jessie Rafael is loosing credibility as a writer who should leave his personal oppinions outside of his profession. He has become a Mayweather hater and a professional writer should not allow those feeling to reflect on his "unbias" articles.
I have wrote to him about this, but He doesn't stop. He thinks He's a celebrity and that his oppinions rule.
You can't write sports and show you are a hater.
Raphael lost all credibility when he published that "Marquez was robbed against Chris John" article then admitted a couple weeks later he hadn't seen the fight.
I disagree with fatboy Dan
Yes the Klit brothers are taking on the "best" opposition out there....but look at all the bums they have to pick from, there's nobody to give them any form of challenge so it's easy for them plow away through the whole division
Floyd in his last last 5 or so has fought nothing but pound for pound top ten fighters for his mega fights.....Shane, Marquez, Hatton, and Oscar were all ranked very high at the time but people seem to forget that due to their selective memory to not give Floyd any credit...

I agree, wifebeater Jr. is a disgrace to boxing.
Big deal, he fought Mosley at 38 after knowing that Mosley had back to back training camps and blood drained him.
Berto got paid step aside money and lied about why he ducked Mosley.
This sport is a joke.
