The Truth About Why So Many Americans Hate The Klitschko's...

[bmoffitt18]

...and claim so and so from the past would have beaten them, is because (outside of the numerous racists on this message board) they are fully aware that most of their favorite heavyweights from times past would have been utterly destroyed by these giant Ukrainians and it infuriates them to no end. They say the reason that these Russians are dominating is because all the great "American" athletes are in the NFL and NBA, forgetting the fact that until the early 90's, the Russians couldn't participate in the sport of boxing. Low and behold, the Berlin Wall goes down all it takes is 10 years before the Russians take over. The NFL and NBA was just as big in the 80's and 90's and they had great heavyweights according to Americans, but once the Russians take over, all great American heavyweights disappear?

Have you noticed an influx of European basketball players in recent years? Expect that trend to continue, then all we will hear is that all the great American athletes are working as lawyers and doctors now, lol.

influx of european basketball players? do you watch the ****ing nba?

It's so pathetic to see many people trying to deny that the Klitschkos are hated because they aren't american, when even the HBO commentators mentioned it after the Arreola fight.

They would build museums for the Klitschkos.

You would constantly hear about "the only brothers who...", "the toughest opponents since Ali...", "the fastest heavyweight for his size" etc etc...

the klits are criminally underrated but i think once they retire they will get proper respect.there are plenty of fighters who would beat them but i dont think they are an easy time for anybody.moreso vitali than wlad,as he is actually tough,while wlad is more skilled.but it shouldnt be any denying this era is pretty weak.outside the klits,the next best is arreola

have you noticed the only 1 that is an all star is dirk nowitzki

It's quite embarrassing for a 6'6'' 240 man to have a glass chin isn't it?

The words "legendary" and "Klitschko", couldn't be further apart.

I just read that, man that's the coldest thing I've read in awhile lol. One thing for sure they big ol K Brothers know how to take care of business. Borning they maybe but they them belts. About the taker over myth that's all it is... a myth I'm sure in the NFL and NBA there are more than a handfull of guys that could have dominated in boxing.

Vitaly is still respected in the states you have to keep in mind a man his size all of a sudden quits b/c of a shoulder injury against a guy with no power and your up on the scorecards. Then you have Wlad who gets blasted out buy Corrie Sanders and Lamon Brewster and claims he was poised. They have come along way and they are a dominate force but they dominate today when the heavyweight division is at a dimsmal and that not there fault. NBA&NFL is where all the money is at and endorsements are at. When you have sports where guys are dunking from freethrow lines and breaking ankels while dragging defenders it's tough to persuade athletes to trade in a ball for gloves.

just because people dont get on their knees and suck the klitschkos dicks just like there nuthuggers do,doesnt mean they hate them

Klitschko nuthuggers are a joke on this site anyway,everyone knows it,the majority are deluded racists

[Roy Keane]

I am english so dont have a bias in the argument but i do get the vibe that the k bros are **** because there european and maybe because there white but more so because there euros and its seen as the AMERICAN DIVISION if there is one in boxing its the heavies
