If basketball players are such heartless chumps like you claim than what explains Kendall Gill trying his hand in boxing and being undefeated so far? This thread is kinda funny the way you made it, but ****** at the same time.

I haven't seen Kendall Gill calling out the Klitschko's have you?

No you didn't just bring up Kendall Gill.
Please by all means :shootself:
The 400 million that Tyson made in his career. And that doesn't even count the years he wasted in prison. I wonder how much that would translate into 2010 dollars? And is there anyone in any sport making that kind of money today?
Americans might be ******ed and fat, but they're not ******.
They have seen what the two ultra powerful Klitshcko brothers have done to their fellow countrymen who have attempted the challenge.
They also clearly see the Klitschko's are special and superior physical specimens that only come once in a lifetime.
The specter of having to face either one of the brothers has diluted the prospects of talent in the division by the pure fear of getting stomped on with devastation.
You have people like Lebron James that are brought up by some of the more peanut headed posters.
"ooooh, can you imagine if Lebron James or Dwight Howard took up boxing?"
"they would surely show those Klitschko brothers a lesson aye?"
They might be great athletes themselves, but they have no heart and would never step in the ring to fight another man. This is what makes the Klitschko's special.
The problem is, James or any other similarly sized athlete see the Klitschko reign of terror and opt out of boxing completely and move on to the safer pastures of throwing a ball into a hole.
They are so afraid of being completely dominated, they rule boxing out completely and run to other sports to avoid the mighty hand of Klitschko.
Similarly, if the Klitschko's were around during Ali's time, he would've shared the same terrorizing fear and would have begged Uncle Sam (the government, not the poster) for his M-16 to go kill VC.
Had the Klitschko's been around back then, Ali would've stayed Cassius Clay, rose to the rank of Captain in the Army and would've been a helluva shot too imo.
I can usually tell who can shoot and who can't.
The fact is, the prospect of facing either Klitschko has caused a vacuum in the HW division because most Americans' don't want to become a highlight knockout reel at the mighty hands of Klitschko.
So if you ever want to say the division is "weak", remember this to be the reason why.
Lack of new HW volunteers for fear of brutal decapitation.
In the ring, not in life.
Don't blame the brothers for anything else than sending a massive shock wave of fear through the hearts of anyone contemplating taking up boxing.
So in conclusion, we must really think about how good the Klitschko's are. Its one thing to be so great that you fight all available competition and win, but its a whole other thing to be so good, so strong, so superior that you absolutely discourage potential talent from even entering the field to compete against you.
That is what I call total domination.
There is something in what you say, you're looking at two highly professional elite athletes that dominate opponents. You could say Tyson had a similar affect on gym's when he became champion at 20. Everybody thought they were too old! The Klits have exposed that as fallacy and put some serious respect back into European HW boxing.
