    Wake Up America: The Klitschkos Deserve More Respect (Huffington Post Article)

    The Klitschkos, who enjoy Jordan-like fame in much of northern Europe, fill arenas every time they fight in Germany. In the US, however, the fact that they crush all of their opponents elicits a yawn.

                Theyre not disrespected in America, Americans just don't like watching them. Lewis/Klitschko was a big deal here, but since then interest has faded because, as the numbers have shown, American buyers want to see EXCITING FIGHTS.

                Oscar and Pacquiao are neither white or black, but they have plenty of white and black fans in addition to fans of the same ethnicity. Why? Because they were warriors and people liked watching them.

                Again, no disrespect, but the K bros put a lot of fans to sleep. Even Vlads trainer was telling him to stop being so clinical and go get rough against Chambers.

                If they actually got in and ****** they would knock most guys out in the first four rounds and be popular over here. But that would also mean taking risks, which is something theyve learned to avoid.

                  Boxers like them will never have superstar power and respect of many boxing fans, not because of their etiquette or other good qualities out of the ring, but because they're a snore to watch.

                  Vitali is ok at times, but I can't stay awake when Wlad fights and I would honestly never pay a dime to watch either of them fight.

                  They lack excitement and entertainment.
