The Klitschko’s Rule Heavyweight, What’s The Bad News?

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Jake Donovan - It’s understandable for historians to throw a hissy fit over the present state of the heavyweight division. Ever since Lennox Lewis’ official retirement nearly five years ago, boxing’s once most storied division has been without a linear champion. [details]

Personally, i think it's bull****. It's heavyweight boxing. They shouldn't be hugging and ass licking each other. The best, most challenging, most exciting fight in the division is not going to be made and they are going to act all happy families at the top protecting themselves.

Povetkin will make the double-Klitschko reign short-lived.

VK has his old belt back, but Wlad is still the top HW. All this bitchin about needin a HW champ is old and ******ed. Even without bein undisputed, Wlad has established himself as the man and has been on top for a while now. Even if he had all the belts the fights at HW would still be largely dull and between a bunch of Euro cats that many fans wouldn't be interested in. People should just let it go already. Nothin wrong wit the bros runnin **** together, even tho VK is like the 'vice' HW champ or whatever.

For the first (or maybe second) time, I agree with Jake. I wrote a lengthy post the otherr day about this very same thing, that having 2 top quality Champions, was good. I've been boxing and involved in boxing longer than anyone on this site, and I believe that my opinion is correct.

What's wrong with having the top fighters- of which there will now be a double stream (that is when one of the Brothers beats Chagaev) lining up to fight each other and eventually fight a Klitschko??? Nothing wrong, just that we get double the amount of good heavyweight Title bouts, which, concentrated into only 2 streams instead of 4 or 5, will show better quality.

As for LINEALChampionships (NOT LINEAR, of which there is NO SUCh THING to do with championship boxing) and beating the "breaks" off some poor soul, I suppose that the writer meant "beating the BREEKS off"...... "Breeks" is the Scottish spelling and word for "BRITCHES" which is what I'm sure the writer meant)

Agood-ish article--if you ignore the errors.

This could actually work to make people care about a new lineal champ. Whoever beats one of the Klits, granting that the other Klit doesn't lose also, will then have the one he didn't beat as an IMMEDIATE possibility with the lineage restored in a big fight. Nothing wrong with that. The longest vacancy in the history of the Heavyweight division's lineal title can stand a little longer wait. Given the general crappiness at heavy since Lewis retired and vacated the crown, a guy with all four belts likely still wouldn't have made a huge dent because the fights would largely have ******.

i dont think so

Personally, i think it's bull****. It's heavyweight boxing. They shouldn't be hugging and ass licking each other. The best, most challenging, most exciting fight in the division is not going to be made and they are going to act all happy families at the top protecting themselves.

by "hugging and asslicking" i presume you mean not fighting each other for big money to meet you`re demand,

breaking a promise to their mother that they wont fight each other to satisfy you? i think not

they are not "acting happy families"

they are best friends, there is no acting involved, they are very close


as for "The best, most challenging, most exciting fight in the division is not going to be made"

what the **** did Lennox Lewis do when everyone wanted him to fight a rematch with Vitali?

thats right denied the public what they wanted, it happens

two brothers dont want to fight each other, which is perfectly reasonable and you start bitching

people take anything they can to insult the Klitschkos and its utterly pathetic

HO HO HO.......I hardly think that a fighter, however good, with 14 fights could beat either K who are in their Primes, with over 50 and nearly 40 fights respectively. I think that Povetkin would be KO'd, certainly by Vitaly with his HUGE KO record, and verly likely by Wladimir. You're not thinking clearly.

But you have to admit that Lewis, with only one Title belt (WBC) was not the lineal Champ.
