The Klitschkos are great for boxing!

[The Hammer]

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!

Too bad they're an eyesore IN the ring.

They are GREAT in the ring - no fighters in boxing history I'd sooner watch.

Yes, for black children in Namibia.

[MANGLER]

I like VK more since he's more excitin than Wlad, but Wlad's ok. Both just suffer from bein in a dead division.

That's great. It really is.

[Kball15]

Hard to deny that they are role models, But Wlad's constantly boring fights are one of the reasons nobody watches the heavyweights fight anymore.

You'd rather watch a 6 and a half foot superhuman with enough punching power to hurt any opponent jab and clinch his way to UD? That's lame.

The Klitschko brothers are good for boxing because they are the only two in the HW division who are viable and can remain a fixture in the championship picture long term at this time. If we didn't have them dominating HW boxing and with the other HWs that would replace them this travesty could happen which I made a thread about recently here....
