What is the main reason some people hate the Klitschkos?

[PittyPat]

It's all persona preference at the end of the day. What might seem boring to one person is exciting to another. It's all good. Every boxer on here get's a bunch of hate. It is what it is....

But according to Tunney, it's not personal preference when it involves the Klitschkos - it's racism. :conf3:

Im not hating on Floyd though. He didn't run or potshot against Shane

Or a before he moved up to 147....

Wlad-Chagaev ~ Mayweather-Mosley
Wlad-Chambers ~ Mayweather-Marquez

Same thing. No race involved.

Personal preference.

Mayweather's running and potshotting is not exciting at all....

if there was actuall competition for them they wouldnt be considered good to begin with

If I criticise Wlad, I'll be called a racist.

No, you won't. You're just a poor kid who is heavily influenced by the "*******" reverse-racism in the sports media. Flawless, IMDAZED and Burner are racists though.

Wlad seemed to be cautious against Chambers not because he was afraid of getting hit, it was because "Fast Eddie" is very quick and evasive, and Wladimir didn't want to miss with big punches. It isn't always easy to KO somebody who is just trying to survive.

This ain't working, Tuns.

True, it's not working. I realize I can never convince you to step back, think about it, and become more objective and fair about Wladimir

I don't actually hate em but i dislike em for beeing sore losers and cry babies.

And i hate their nuthugger fans which seriously think the Klitschkos are the GOAT's

I don't like Wladimirs style it's OK to fight carefull but Wladimir fights like he is scared ****less even against soft punchers like Chambers and shot boxers like Rahman.

Vitali's style is OK i like other styles but it's OK but he is a very sore loser. And it's so anoying that his punching power is hypet that badly via his KO ratio (yeah he has power but in germany people tend to beliebe that he punches harder than the young George Foreman).

[Xyei]

With Wlad, I think people don't like him for the same reason they don't like Mayweather. People think they both are boring, safety first fighters. I don't think anyone dislikes Wlad the person but they don't like him as a fighter because he is a smart/safety first fighter.

This will never change. Wlad does have a ton of fans though. Not so many American as European fans but still.

The argument that he'd be more liked if he was a black American is partially true in that he'd be much more popular among American fans but he wouldn't have all of the European fans, so there it is.

Only reason i would want to see Wlad fight a bum is for the KO at the end. Why watch the whole fight though?

Wlad-Ibragimov was the most boring fight ive ever seen...

[Calzaghe Loc]

it goes against usual heavyweight order having a non-english speaking eastern european boxer at the top.

people hate successful people and hate the dominance.
