I believe it is. Great fighters like Boystov, Povetkin, Adamek ... dont get the respect they deserve because American fans associate them with the Klitschko brothers.
Believe me guys most East European fighters are real warriors. Only a handfull are ******* like the K bros. Just give those young upcoming east europeans boxers a chance and they wont dissapoint you.
What do you think of the K bros
I would say neutral, not necessarily a fan but dont dislike them either. Not very exciting to me but they do fight everyone, so credit for that.
I think that not getting respect is a 2-way street and it also has nothing to do with race. Most people are going to feel the people from their country are the best. So whether it is a american traveling to fight in europe or some other country or those fighters coming to america for fights. Majority of the home crowd is always going to be biased when it comes to the respect given to a foreign fighter.
After the sisters are gone east euro fighters will be much more respected. I guarantee that
No they wont. Guys that don't come to America to fight, regardless of where they're from, don't get the respect that guys that come here do. It's not fair but it is the way it is.
Sergio Martinez, Tomasz Adamek, and Manny Pacquiao were all good fighters that blew up here once they came to America to fight. Eastern European guys aren't going to be come popular or get their fights at 9am here televised by staying in Europe.
You want to the respect from American fans and boxing writers all around, you got to come over and fight in Vegas. It is what it is.
Pongsaklek Wonjongkam is p4p according to the ring, but gets no respect because he only fights in Asia.
Haha nice try
You think I just found out Pascal is Canadian? There is a difference between America and USA . Get lost out of this thread while you still have some dignity left.
Well thats fair enough. German tv doesn't pay any attention to Andre Berto, Bradley, Devon, Pascal and many other american fighters.
I don't think there is any german conspiracy against african american fighters.
Good one....
LOL hahahaha! burn.
But seriously because they don't fight enough in America to expose themselves to our audience. Or at least work out something so we can see more of their fights on ESPN then.

Why was he unable to KO OUT OF PRIME Lennox Lewis then......
LOL hahahaha! burn.

American boxing fans hate white fighters, I am the exception. Skills are skills.
btw prime vs prime vitali K.O's your favorite black HW in under 8 rounds

Now you're lying, to cover up talking out of you're ass. :lol1:
You never used ANY sources that pointed to him NOT being ranked.
It was just your usual BS discrediting of a European boxer, it that case an attempt to diminish Wlad's resume by lying about Peter (who was ranked at the time by all 4 sanctioning organizations, and ahead of Wlad in the top ten Ring rankings).
Not only that but Wlad was the underdog in that fight. There was an article in ESB crowning Peter the next HW champ of the world right before the fight. I used to be a wlad fan back then and nobody believed me when I said wlad would kick his ass.

my sources were the Ring Magazine rankings of 2004, which looked as such...
Vitali Klitschko, Champion
1.Chris Byrd
2.John Ruiz
3.Hasim Rahman
4.James Toney
5.Monte Barrett
6.Andrew Golota
7.Fres Oquendo
8.Jameel McCline
9.Corrie Sanders
10.Lamon Brewster
no Peter.
inbetween the end of 2004(the rankings above) and the 1st Peter-Wladimir fight Peter entered the rankings, and those inbetween rankings are difficult to find.
I generally do it for all fighters without looking into it that often, its a very trivial and understandable mistake.
its funny you dislike me so much, when I actually stand up for the Klitschko brothers more than most members on the forum.
FAO: damned 1974
Vitali didn't "run" from Arreola you stupid cunt, it's called lateral movement
Vitali threw over 800 punches in 10 rounds, he dominated every round and destroyed Arreola.
It was an entertaining beatdown.

Idiots like you probably get an erection over Wlad/Ibragimov fights.... I am sorry,but that sh1t is straight garbage.
As I said before,you guys are easily amused if you think Wlad and Vitali are giving you guys high quality all out action type fights.
Even though I think Wlad can beat Haye,I would like Haye to spark out Wlad-so the HW division can get rid of the snorefests that Mr.Jab and grab Klitschko give to the large audiences that no doubt feel ripped off after one of their boring "fights".
What is even funnier is when Hopkins clinches, or when Floyd uses "lateral movement", you dolts are the first to b1tch and complain and say "holding is illegal" and Floyd is "running"! Go jerk yourself silly to that homo picture of the Klit brothers standing near each other nude.
For the record,your boy toy Vitali QUIT against Byrd and received a tko against Lewis....let the excuses begin!
Negron is cool and all cuz he is tall and pretty fluid, but he is gonna get killed by a good puncher.
Him vs winner of Kiltso and Solis, priceless. I think he can defeat both'em. I'd bet all my points on it!!!
