I honestly cannot understand how or why anyone could NOT like the Klitschko brothers.

[Derranged]

The reason people do not like Wlad is because under Manny Steward he has become too conservative of a fighter. The only time he really goes for the knockout is when it is absolutely necessary, if he is cut or hurt.

Even when his opponent cannot do a damn thing, he just sits there and accepts a UD. He could have blown out Rahman in two rounds and went easy on him. He could have done the same to Ibragimov in 4 and went easy on him.

Fans don't want to see that.

I can see how people find that boring although I think Vitali isnt much better as he extends his arm sometimes too although he can take more risk since he has an iron chin, if he had Wlads chin I doubt he would have his hands low

I hear you man
I just thought it was cool to see a guy that big fight the way he did and be throwing combos against a man with a punch as hard as Arreolas

[BEEHOP]

I can't stand a large majority of the fans. They're good guys though, even better fighters. I just don't enjoy watching them.

[Roger Mellie]

I dont like to look at them as the Klitschko Brothers. I try and view them as individual fighters. True,they seem like decent fellas outside of the ring,but where it counts Vitali is the boss,and Wlad knows this. Vitali is one tough bastard,and I prefer watching him fight. Wlad bores me to f.ucking tears. I much preferred him when he used to go hell for leather,but he has gone too far the other way with this Dr.Boring technique that he has cooked up with Manny.

His safety first approach is great for winning fights without taking too many risks,but f.uck me is he ever dull to watch! He is like a heavyweight version of Floyd. All safety and no bollocks. Vitali would kill him.

So your telling me fans dont want to see a HW who has one of the best Knockout percentages in HW history? That statement doesnt make much sense especially the part about accepting a UD. 47 KO's out of 53 wins doesnt really sound like a guy settling for UD's. Mayweather could have knocked out Marquez from the sixth round and on but talk about being conservative, he did not take any chances at all that fight. This double standard problem on this forum is bull****. Mayweather is one bad dude though, I'll put him up against anybody and if he beats Manny and Sugar Shane, he has got to be considered a Top 5 ATG. I know people dont want to hear that, but thats how it has to be.

The stats alone dont tell the full story though,do they. I have seen dozens of his fights and he bores the **** off of me.

Nonsense.

Wlad has had only one UD in his past eight fights. He has 47 KOS, and one of the highest KO ratios in heavyweight history.

Mayweather usually goes for the UD, yet you hug his scrotum.

I would much much rather watch a mayweather UD than Wlad's opponent throw in the towel in the 8th or 9th round after an incredibly boring beat down.

[KILLA RIGHT]

As humans they are great people.but wlad is one of the boring-est fighters i have ever seen and vitali looks like a ***en robot boxing

The truth is, there are some people who just don't like any white fighters.

This includes several sportswriters and commentators/analysts who seem to feel that way.

This has nothing to do with black and white. As the HBO crew said on Saturday, "What if they had grown up in a corn field in Nebraska". For the haters it has more to do with them not being American.

If Vitali's name was Mike Klitchman from Iowa, he would be the Great White Hope and American fans would be in love with him.

REMEMBER GERRY COONEY?

So once again, stop bringing race into this. It's getting old.
