    Adversity for the Klitschkos?

    Hi my name is BoxingPromoter, and I'm a Klitschko fan and I have been for awhile now. However, I'd like to see some contender out there, Chambers, Johson, Valuev, Povetkin, whoever, give Vitali or Wlad some adversity and make the fight competitive. In fact, I would like to see one or both of the brothers pushed to the brink of defeat to then reach down and pull out the win...

    I mean, who doesn't love a competitive fight (Floydstans)? I don't want to see them lose, especially Wlad, but I'm kinda getting bored of seeing dominating performance after dominating performance...

    I want to hear the opinions of the fervent Klitschko fans here...

    I wish they didn't fight as cautious as Floyd Mayweather and KO'd fighters earlier and I hate late stoppages. When I watch a heavyweight fight I want to see someone get ktfo like what Tua does to the opponents he fights. Though I know tua would lose to probably both of the klitschkos in a very tedious type match similar to the bore-fest of Lewis/Tua.

      Yeah, the only thing the Klitschkos are lacking are the highlight reel KOs; however I still want to see one of them come back from some adversity to win...

        No one in the heavyweight division can beat them, no one is in their league. Tua, Povetkin, Chambers, Arreola, Haye, all need to fight each other because they would all lose to the klitschkos in my opinion.

          Problem is, there's no-one out there to push them. They are actually gonna end up doing their legacies damage if they hang around beating these sorry bunch of "contenders" we have today. Vitali should retire, the biggest acheivement in his career was pushing an out of shape, past his prime Lewis for 6 rounds, there's nothing he can do in the forseeable future that is better than that acheivement. As for Wlad, he needs to fight Povetkin, Haye, Boytsov etc, even then all we can say is he was one of the best of a bad bunch.

            Have you considered the opponents they've fought recently, like Arreola and Chagaev, had never been KOed or even knocked down before?

            I'd like to see them fight Michael Grant, Audley Harrison or David Haye - then you wouldn't need to wait 9 or 10 rounds for the stoppage! It would come in an early round, like it did with Kirk Johnson (Vitali) and Ray Austin (Wlad).

              I think Chambers has a better chance at getting to Vitali than to Wlad because of Vitali's constant low hands. Wlad's defense is almost impenetrable...

                Sam Peter put Wlad on the canvas 3 times, but Wlad came back to win a decision, i'd say thats the most advesity either has faced though.

                  They weren't ko'd though, they were stopped which is a tko but thats boring. Us fans want to see big guys knock each others heads off like Tua and Tyson did to their opponents.
