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

[Special K]

They don't shoot their mouths off like morons after fights and threaten to eat peoples kids or claim they're badder asses than Alexander the Great or Ivan the Terrible. That's where they fall short in the American market. They don't have cartoon images for dumb Americans to swallow.

[Derranged]

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.

Ok.. bad choice of words. But he does go easy on his opponents as of late, except when he's in trouble.

And I am not on Mayweather's scrotum at all.

I wish Mayweather would go for the KO more, he could have blown out Marquez in 5.

And I am a Wladimir fan, so don't even try to say Im not. Im just trying to give a reason why people don't like him. Of all of his past 7 stoppages, how many of them was he really trying to go for the KO?

Sweet Avatar dude

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.

I must admit that im a huge Sugar Shane fan and cannot stand Mayweather but that is a sweet avatar. Very creative, probably the best one Ive seen in awhile, good job bro.

How many times must I say KO does not equal excitement. Competition equals excitement. The way Wlad fights, he does not take chances and tries to eliminate competition. More power to him that he's able to win and KO his opponents, he's a great fighter. But if you expect people to get excited when Wlad jabs all night until the guy falls over, you're going to be dissappointed.

Vitali on the other hand can be very entertaining. But again, he needs competition to be entertaining. At least Arreola pushed him enough to make it an entertaining fight.

Thanks man. It just came to me that I needed a Kanye Mosley avatar. Some times things are meant to be.

I honestly love Wlad's style. He has a glass chin so

Everyone jumps on the "Wlad has a glass chin" bandwagon, without ever putting any thought into that statement.

Wlad does not have a glass chin.

If you want to say that he does, provide me with some examples.

[The Hammer]

Where did I say it does?

Derranged said Wlad is NOT exciting because he goes for the UD instead of a KO. I simply replied by pointing out he has 7 KOs in his past 8 fights, so he DOES NOT simply go for the UD..

If he got an early KO in every fight, or a late KO, or a dominant decision, it wouldn't matter - jackasses like yourself would still hate him.

Your hate for the Klitschkos has nothing to do with their fighting styles. We both know the real reason you don't like them, but I won't mention it again since it seems to hit a nerve and upset you.

He was dropped 4 times by Corrie Sanders and ko-ed by Brewster, he also joked on himself in an interview that he does have a glass chin and has to protect it in every fight and he said that in a response to a question that asked why he fights so conservative. If you claim he doesnt have a glass chin then you must surely admit he has a weaker chin at least, he also got dropped three times by Peter, he also got dropped by DAVARRYL WILLIAMSON. Oh by the way he also got dropped in the first round by Steve Pannell, who?, exactly.

I support his way of fighting because it keeps him from losing fights he shouldnt have too, him trying to brawl got him ko-ed by Brewster, Purrity, Sanders, before his power would save him after getting knocked down, now he doesnt even hit the floor cuz of his defense and his power just locks in the win

I'm white if that's what you're getting at. My god.

Note to anyone that says anything remotely bad about the Klitschko brothers: If you say something bad about them, you must not be white and you must be racist.

Seriously Tunney, you're a good poster and a great boxing fan, but give it a rest with the race card. Not only is it ignorant and off base, but it dillutes your posts and lowers you as a credible poster.

So let me just ask and you can PM me the answer if you want, in case you're embarassed. Did you think I was black just because I have Ali in my sig?

Another point, you've said the K brothers are exciting and point to their high KO percentages as proof. I'm saying that's bull****. It's a measure of greatness, sure, but not excitement.

Wlad jabs and slowly wears them down to the point where they're useless, then the KO comes.

Mike Tyson would come out in the first round guns ablazing and try and kill people.

This does say anything in terms of greatness, but it does in terms of excitement.
