If the Klitscko brothers were American

[Pullcounter]

If they we're Black and American imo it wouldn't make that much of a difference. Generally speaking black american boxing fans do not like that style of boxing. They wanna be entertained and as good as the brothers are you can't deny that their fights are a little on the dull side.

exactly... both of their styles are asss... Vitaly in his prime was amusing though

I am a racist who hates successful white fighters, I am jealous of the Klitschko brothers

fixed it for ya

They may get credit for the combination of their intelligence, being a model citizen, GQ looks (or at least Wlad), and being Champion or they might just be compared to the Baer brothers.


I'm not sure where America is right now to be honest. Usually we like our Dempsey, Tyson, Louis, or Ali figures (although Ali had mix reviews in his day so maybe not him).

Vitali might get more respect than Wlad because he has the hard-core edge about him. A bit of a maverick character trait who has honor as well. What would hurt him is the TKO quit loss. America doesn't like quitters although I'm not quite sure that is true now though; we have been pussified.

If either Klistchko was a QB in the NFL though, he would be big time.


I remember hearing that the US boosted Dempsey instead of Tunney after Jack lost. Would it be the same today? We certainly picked Tyson up fast because of where he came from and how he fought but that was the 80's.

I personally liked both Dempsey and Tunney and I'm not sure how Tunney wasn't more revered for being a Marine and well read but those were the times I guess. Tunney's son said his Father's love of reading (which he was considered a "closet reader"), was frown upon because reading was looked at as being a dreamer. I always found that funny because America was about "dreaming" but I guess in the days where you are working long hours and many didn't get to go to school, reading wasn't a priority.
Today, maybe it would be Tunney who has the respect of the people.

If they were White Americans, they would be praised as ATG. Like one said, the would of been in TV commercials, they would have endorsment from everybody.

Sad but true.

Look at how they hype Arreola, because he is the only half decent American HW. Imagine if they had the top 2 guys!!!!!!!!!!

wladimir IS american now isn't he ?

[KostyaTszyu44]

They are much, MUCH better than Byrd and Ruiz, who won a few boring close decisions as titleholders.

The Klitschkos win DECISIVELY with brutal KOs Wlad has been regarded as the best heavyweight for three or four years now.

Yes, if they were American and black, they would be unconditionally loved by the likes of Teddy Atlas and Eric Raskin, and American fans would come to like them better since they would be hearing and reading nothing but good about them.

ahaha

oh and your post was ******ed as usual

[Pullcounter]

it don't matter if the klits are foreigners... people don't like their style. wlad has been on leno before and also he's been in ocean's 11 or something..

his style and attitude in the ring just isn't what people like.
