    Do people dislike Wlad because he's too easy to like?

    Is he like that catchy super poppy song (hypothetically speaking; you can probably pick whatever is #1 on the charts) on the radio that most hardcore music connoisseurs hate just because it's catchy and popular? I feel, for me personally, it's impossible to hate Wlad. Not only does he seem like a great guy who's handsome and a draw with the ladies, he gives a great interview, makes for exciting fights, and even has some pretty distinct flaws which make him even more human and easier to sympathize with.

    Is there a more likeable guy in boxing? Maybe Emmanual Augustus but he isn't as high profile a name.

    Wlad is one of the three or four greatest things ever to happen to this sport. He's a freak of nature. He's classy, honest, brilliant. Sometimes people say athletes are 'articu;ate', which means only that they can speak in intelligible sentences. Wlad is more than that, he's intelligent, and he's educated. he has a ****ing PhD for Christ's sake. And he's a humanitarian. he's politically conscious. He's done more for the people of the world than any athlete has.

    Europeans should love him, Americans should love. He's cosmopolitan. He might have an accent in English but it's his FOURTH language, and he still talks better than any other boxer out there (taking coherence and vocabulary into account); and he speaks German better than 98% of non-Germans who have tried; that ain't easy

    Whites should love him, blacks should love him (he's done more for black people who need help than any black athlete EVER has).


    And he can do magic tricks.


    In sum, if you don't like Wlad there's something wrong with YOU.


    Oh yeah, his boxing skills: those four left hooks weren't too nice now were they. C'mon kids !!!!!!!!!!

        Klitschko is TERRIBLE for boxing in the US.

        Not only is he incrediblely boring to watch, no courage or will power, and certainly nothing great talent wise.

        But he also knocks out all our US contenders when we thought they were good.

        AND, Wlad Klitschko kinda seems like a stuck up know it all. I hate those kind of people.

        I like good KO's though... and thats pretty much all Wlad is good for.

              I'd have to disagree. Bringing class and intelligence to a sport is always a good thing. I just wish he had a bigger mean streak.

                He has tons of charisma and is a great humanitarian and philantropist. He is a class act. The Magic tricks alone are very Ali like.

                    You guys are right. The only thing that can really cause hatred towards him, are ****** fans. And i think that's the biggest reason Wlad has so many haters.
