The Klitschkos are dominant heavyweight champions. They have made history. They are two russian brothers who hold the heavyweight championship at the same time. However, because they are not very exciting fighters many have lost interest in the division. I'd say I don't dislike them but I'm not fans of theirs, either. In fact, usually when they fight I'm rooting for the underdog most of the time! What I'm wondering is, should they be dethroned or retire would it actually be better for boxing? I'd like to take a poll...

What people need to realise is that once they're gone, the HW division will be in a shocking state. At least now we can say that the division is ruled by 2 fighters who probably will go down in the HOF. What happens after they've gone? The belts will become worthless, utterly worthless. We'll have champions like Povetkin and Haye. What makes that a more exciting scenario?
People will truly appreciate them when they're gone.

I don't want them to retire.
I think it might be better for the division if there was just one of them, as then there would be one dominant champion, less title shots to go around which would mean more fights between top contenders instead of guys just waiting for a chance rather than trying to earn it (there are some exceptions to this, of course).
Really though, the problem with the heavyweights isn't the K brothers, it's everyone else in the division.

It's not the Klitschkos people want to see go. It's the Klitschko FANS that everybody would like to see die in a Jim Jones style mass suicide. The Klitschkos are professional and show up for fights in shape, something nobody else in the division does. It's already the worst Heavyweight division in the history of the sport, take the Klitschkos out and you might as well ban the division as an obscenity unfit for public consumption.

Sure, I've hated Calzaghe groupies, *****s, ******* and Klit-lickers at various points. But there comes a point where you just get over it, and not let it bother you - which you seem personally incapable of doing.
Dude, I've got no quarrel with you (in fact, I appreciate all the vids you've put up for downoad in the VTB) but it's apparent that many others have. And I can see why, cos you seem to hold so much bitterness and anger, and spend as much time counter-trolling all those you hate.
Just let it go, and enjoy the sport.

The heavy weight division is boring. When there is a title fight the local newspapers put a small paragraph in the back of the sports page. Nobody outside of boxing even knows who the klitchkos are. Its a shame really. Maybe they do need to retire. They are boring to watch. Both of them.
