Why does the americans constantly fail to give the Klitscho's the props they deserve?

Brilliant post BennyST. Summed up pretty much everything I wanted to say.

[Swoosh]

Vitali got the biggest KO % in HW history (if not in boxing history) what else do you want if not other than to bring childish hate upon them?

It's how they go about getting their KO's. I don't blame Vlad for being a complete wussy, i blame Manny Stewart for turning him into a scared lil girl. Vlad used to be one of the best offensive heavyweights to come around in a long long time. His fights were exciting, win or lose. Stewart can be directly attributed to the downfall of the heavyweight division. Fact.

[Swoosh]

And the fact is, if Vlad was to enter each of his next 6 fights and went balls to the wall trying to blast guys out of there, he would end his career as one of the all time greats. Regardless of if he goes 4-2 in those fights. People will remember him going out in a ball of flames rather then his seriously boring part of the middle of his career.

They deserve props. However, neither has established himself as the man, and unless somebody bumps off one of them and fights the other they never will. Plus, they don't take much risk. Vitali did against Lewis, but was beat. Perhaps they'll get recognition over time, like Larry Holmes. However, I would argue that the division is weaker today then it was in Holmes' time.

Give them props for what? Being great amongst heavies that suck? These mofos are coming to the ring with pork bellies to fight the Klits now. And the Bros. have losses to mediocre opposition.

Chris Byrd and Lennox Lewis are mediocre opposition.

STFU loser.

Vitali should have been able to flatten Byrd with that highly touted KO rate of his. Period. Wladimir also had no business losing to Brewster.

BennyST,

standing ovations for your post. Green Karma from me.

Green to BennyST as well: Easily one of the best posts I've read in a while.

Or Sanders. Or Purrity. Or getting bounced off the canvas like a basketball by a crude no-skill brawler like Peter.
