    I dont see how it would be racsit at all, i could see how it would be racist if you said their crap because their a specific race. But the Klits are pretty cool despite their boring ass fights

      The heavyweight division is fine

      natas206 is one of the biggest Klitschko haters on here and is prejudiced towards Eastern European fighters all the time.

      he is just another weak jealous American
      People said that the division was weak when people like Rahman and Briggs were beltholders.

        Thanks for placing me on ignore WLAD OWNS, I understand your ***** gets hurt every time someone says something negative about your beloved Klitschko's.

            I didn't vote in his poll because of the way it's worded, but YES, much of the negativity toward the Eastern European fighters and the heavyweight division is racially motivated.

            If Wlad and Vitali were black and American, but otherwise the same (records, titles, KOs, PhDs and all) they would be on the cover of half the magazines in America, and people like Natas would worship them!

              No, I have no problem with them being Eastern European (as I have always been fascinated with Eastern Europe and it's history (I have studied the history of Russia for years for example)).

              LOL, this coming from the biggest Klitschko nuthugger on the site!

              1). I'm a fan of Vitali Klitschko.
              2). I used to defend Wlad on this site after his boring performances (gave up though).
              3). I don't care where a fighter comes from or what their skin color is. My favorite fighters come from all over the world (Guzman=dominican republic, hopkins=african american, pavlik=american, pacquiao=Philippines miranda=columbian, gamboa=cuba, etc.)

              he is just another weak jealous American
              jealous of what?

                  You might have a point there.

                    If Wlad and Vitali were AMERICAN (black or white) they'd be on covers of magazines in america. Very, very rarely will you see a non-american fighter in america ever be mega star.

                    BTW, I don't care about a fighters nationality. In fact, out of all my favorite fighters only a couple are american (hopkins, pavlik).

                      Today's HW division isn't the best but the match-making is the worst thing about it.
