Why do you always bash the Klitschko's??

Your hero Ricky Hatton is mediocre and overrated, he fights like a mini John Ruiz.

to say hatton is mediocre is a disgrace to mediocre fighters. hatton is a bum who likes to hug old men,

If I'm absolutely honest I bash the Klits because of you. You are a total prick and while the Klitschkos would be slightly better than mediocre in any other era than this one I'm willing to entertain the notion that they are no-hopers just to have the chance to enjoy bashing silly nuthuggers like you.

As for Hatton, I like him, I like his style, I like the cut of his jib. I just don't feel the need to bash every fighter who isn't him to elevate him by comparison. When I have to read your vaguely racist tirades about black fighters coupled with your absurd attacks on anyone who you perceive as a threat to your fraternal bum-chums it just makes me want to point out the myriad flaws with your heroes and tear strips off your arguments as though your arguments were Vitali's face and my barbs were the gloves of Lennox Lewis.

Wladmir fans and nuthuggers got owned in this thread.

if wlad was black and american he would be seen as an atg heavyweight, the greatest heavyweight since muhammad ali. wlad should not be discriminated against because he is from ukraine and white. white people in boxing are viewed as inferior. shame on you for not believing in wlad`s greatness. racist americanos

Yeah, forget that he lost 3 fights by ko, and only rematched 1 guy, and this after he had been out of the ring following eye surgery. He still couldn't ko brewster, and davarryl williamson put wlad on his butt, only to lose by a cut stoppage that wlad suffered. Forgive us Americans for not promoting Wlad to superstar status. Forgive us...lol He was a gold medal winner too.

Well like Lennox said, there's not much you can do to improve your chin. Wlad doesn't have the chin for a Tua-Ibeabuchi type war, and after 53 professional fights, he's had to make a lot of adjustments in his style to prolong his career. He'd get some credit for beating Haye, but I think David would have to beat a couple of name HWs first and make a name for himself at HW.

He also doesn't have a fan friendly style either. He grabs when you get close because he can't fight inside. H would rather use his jab all night. There is nothing wrong with using the jab, but when guys got close to him, he either ran out of gas, or was knocked out. If he had learned to fight inside, and dig to a guys body, he would've been looked at different. For every ali, there is a joe frazier, and for every sugar leonard, there is a duran, and finally for every sugar robinson, you had a basilio. Right now Wlad does not have his joe frazier. The three times he lost, all 3 were stopage losses.

You're on crack dude. When Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield or George Foreman were champs, not once did I look at them and say "damn I wish they were white." I would much rather have an American HW champ, black or white.

I am generalizing of course. I don't mean every american but most american's.

I'm not sure he'd be seen as the greatest since Ali, since in Tyson, Holyfield, Lennox Lewis etc there have been several heavyweights who are arguably better than Wladimir.

However, I agree 100% with the spirit of your post. If Wladimir was American he would already be elevated to 'legend' status alongside these kinds of heavyweights and American fans would love him.

Please, Americans don't even try to deny it.
