    Do Americans like to see Klitschkos dominate HW boxing?

    First off i am european, i like Vitali, Wlad not that much becouse his style is very boring. I can understand Americans not enjoying Wlad but do you guys also want to see Vitali dethroned? Are 100% of Americans cheering on their latest hope, Kevin Johnson, to beat Vitali?

    NB! If there was to happen a miracle and someone exciting like a new Mike Tyson, came along, then i would be rooting for him to beat the Europeans. Although i think we may have something like that in David Haye ? In shape, EXCITING, HEAVY hands, charismatic, but he's from Great Britain and that doesn't cope well with the Americans?

          No, Americans actually like watching fighters who come to fight. This "if the Klits were American, they would get more press" is bull****. Pac vs. Cotto is proof of that

          Americnas don't watch HW's because they fight like WW's.

              No they don't.. Yeah, maybe like the Floyd/Baldomir fight. WW put on great fights. Can't realy say that about HW anymore.

                I liked Lewis, I liked Foreman, I like the Klitschkos. As much as I have some compassion for Tyson, he can be a real ass at times.

                Basically, I don't care what country the fighter comes from as long as I like his style and personality. I think the Klitschkos bring added class and dignity to the sport and it helps that both hold Ph.D.s

                  Americans like exciting fighters like Mike Tyson, Evander, Rid**** not slow, cautious jab fest producing fighters like the Klits. This is why the world still loves to watch a 70 yr old Evander come back...

                    The night he beat (in my view) Valuev was pretty damn embarrasing. A 47 year old former CRUISERWEIGHT whooping your ass.
