    That sucks. I actually like watching them. Well, the majority of the time. Black balling the Klitschkos is like black balling the Heavyweights in general. Then again it's not really HBO's fault the Heavyweight division sucks. Outside of Arreola/Adamek or Haye, there's really no other Heavyweights to give tv time to.

      Ross Greenburg doesn't want the American public to see another American heavyweight being dominated and KOed by Wladimir. He thinks Chambers has no chance of winning.

      Wlad has stopped every single American opponent he's faced since 2005: Byrd, Brock, Austin, Brewster, Thompson, and Rahman.

        That's pretty lame of Greenberg. Didn't Lennox Lewis make a career dominating American heavyweights.

          Its a shame cos Chambers is probably the best of the recent yank HWs that have been fed to the Klits. They've mostly been pathetic. Chambers will actually give his all.

            You're probably correct for once. HBO is trying to save face plus they are costcutting. But don't forget that Rahman was washed up, Brewster had already had his fun with Wlad and KO'd him brutally. As for the others, they just didn't have the talent. Chambers's fast hands fight be able to reach and crack Wlad's glass chin.

              Yeah but Lewis slipped up often enough that you always thought the americans had a chance of winning. The klitschkos don't.

                who knos. what is clear is that in the heavyweight division, all roads lead to the k bros. in fact, the best fight that could be made right now is them fighting each other...although that will never happen, unfortunately...

                  I'll try to get a a stream or download the fight somewhere. I hope the fight is exciting so it backfires on HBO.

                    True, but Wlad has slipped up in the past, although not recently. Lewis was considered a safety first fighter as well.

                      Yes, but that was before Greenburg became their top decision-maker.

                      If there was a heavyweight he thought might beat Wladimir, he'd be eager to show it. He was even willing to put Haye-Wladimir on, because he felt Haye had a chance.

                      The truth is, he has absolutely no faith in fast Eddie, perhaps because he lost to Povetkin on HBO.
