The Klitschkos are great for boxing!

[Mikhnienko]

yeah he was on the undercard, second round ko

he's 5'11 & with his defense, counter punching along with his ability to guarge range really well i think he'll be fine

[street bully]

Didn't he fight on the Pac/Hatton undercard? Pretty damn good handspeed for a MW, might be a bit small though.

You're still avoiding the question I see. Too bad you red K like a hoe all the time for no reason and don't even go as to explain why.

[vercingetorix3]

In terms of personality, they are more or less dead. In boxing, you usually either have to have an exciting style or an exciting personality (or both) to be a megastar. The Klitschkos have neither.

Don't get me wrong, if they're doing all this charitable stuff, more power to them, but they are boring. Klitschko vs. Rahman put me to sleep, and Wladimir could have gotten Ibragimov out of there rather early in the fight instead of that dreadful UD win.

I would rather watch my dog piss on a tree than pay to see Klitschko knockout another bloated taxi driver. Champions are supposed to draw the fans not chase them away.

[GJC]

Yo why did you give me red K last night? For stating my opinion?

Can I ask what is this red K and green k about please?

Wladimir and Vitali are the kind of good sportsmen that have been few and far between in boxing during the past few decades.

We've had a convicted rapist as heavyweight champion, a man who actually bit off part of his opponents ear in the ring. We briefly had a crackhead as heavyweight champion, after McCall KOed Lennox Lewis. And we've had another champion who talked about God constantly, yet conceived many children out of wedlock.

But the Klitschkos are not only great fighters and powerful punchers (their KO percentages higher than Ali, Holmes, Holyfield and Lewis) they are also good men outside the ring! They have raised money to build schools in Africa, and to provide assistance to needy children in the New York area.

The Klitschkos set a good example for children by being good sportsmen inside and outside the ring. Young people look up to top athletes, and these men are the ideal role models!

Good post, I agree 100%. Klitschko's is the ****.

[joe strong]

they are good role models & I agree they are good both in & out of the ring but even after Tyson was losing people still sold out buildings to see him.why? Because he's a unique attraction.boxing is full of criminals & I gaurentee the public eye would much rather watch Tyson at any stage of his career rather than watch a good old boy(klitschkos,any hockey player other than avery).people are attracted to being scared! Nice guys finish last(unless you are rich).being politically correct & educated doesn't sell tickets but it will make you $$$$$(that's where the education comes in handy).people go to the circus to be entertained & to see ABNORMAL behavior by people & animals.they are sideshows but people one to be shocked.if you had gladiator fights & could gaurantee someone was going to DIE you would have an absolute sellout.people who don't condone violence would even go because of the curiosity.my point is people want to watch guys like Tyson rather than klitschkos because they are PLAIN,EDUCATED guys.the klits used boxing to make $$$$ & enjoy the competition most others are from troubled backgrounds.Tyson vs guys like brian nielson got primetime coverage yet vitali klitschko vs gomez world title fight couldn't.

Good post, I agree 100%. Klitschko's is the ****.

They most definitely are!

KO percentage does not necessarily equal excitement. (if that's what you're implying)

Over 50 thousand people that go see them would disagree with you. Plus the people that watch them on tv/internet.
