      Wishing death on a boxer just because you dislike him is not an opinion, it's a statement of ignorance and hate.

        so you want him dead because
        1. Hes American
        2. He hates Russia and Europe? Never got that impression...
        3. Because he said Klitschko was a European champ

        ...might be a little extreme, dont you think? Im sure that Vitali has no problems with Arreola at all. probably likes the guy and respects him for taking so much damage.

          his children will be ukrainians not americans anyway just because they are american citizens dont make them americans.

          and Maskaev later said that he is russian, heres a quote from him from 2006 i think. "Russian. I don't want to talk about that anymore. I will walk to the ring under the Russian flag and Russian anthem as I'm now a Russian citizen." took it from wikipedia. but i do view maskaev as somewhat of a traitor, you can have him.

              maybe you should be more like Vitali

                  boxing is very much about nationality. infact id say nationality is everything in america. if it weren't how come you guys never give respect to any european or former-ussr fighter? huh?

                    thats sad. you would want an innocent man with a family dead just because he insulted where you came from?
                    I feel bad for you.

                    If theyre American citizens and live in LA, why wouldnt they be American? what determines your nationality if not that?

                    look back at the Vitali quotes I posted. hes a good person who doesnt put any stock behind nationality, why cant you think like him?

                      there are plenty of Americans that give credit to the Klitschko brothers. someone even suggested on here that they were the best heavyweights of all time, which is pretty extreme if you ask me.

                      Im a fan of Wladimir too. and there are lots of people that hold a lot of respect for Kostya Tsyzu. even Floyd Mayweather has nothing but respect for Tsyzu because of his amateur credentials.
