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

[pelonxsoldier28]

...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.

I see no truth in your statement and just another excuse. You can't change what everyone see's with their own eyes.

Th Klitshkos are good but they're boring. Most of their fights are snoozefests.

Which is disproven by the insane amount of money that they make per fight:

Money (and audience) that Ali could only dream about. Tyson vs Lennox = 15'000, frazier w15 muhammad ali 19'500.

This is exactly what is (not wrong but) different about American fans and world-fans: American fans value chin (e.g. Ali), world-fans value fists (e.g. Klitschko). American fans value slugfests, world-fans value the surgical approach.

Moreover Amercian fans will value mainly American boxers, while world-fans will value any good boxer.

Thank you for furthering the "suspect chin" myth. That way opponents will be fooled into trying to reach that chin instead of trying new strategies (e.g. going to the body). You are doing Klitschko a favour.

The only excuses being made are the excuse from those who cant except the dominance of the Brothers.

Who did Tyson beat?
Who did Lewis beat?
Who did Holmes beat?
Who Did Liston beat?
Who Did Marciano beat?
Who did Louis beat?
Who did Tunney beat?
Who did Dempsey beat?

Who did any of those fighters defeat, at the time that they beat them, that either Klitschko brother would not have?

All your statements are very opinionated, who says fans from america aren't world fans? As I believe I am. I value all types of fighters, you can be surgical and still be exciting. I'd have to say only one part of your statement is true, Americans as other countries value a good chin. You should'nt judge a country's fight fan based off one website/any website, doing so limits the truth to a a couple hundred instead of a couple million. Very biased statement.
