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

[Forza]

Racist blacks and whites can't stand to see a big white man on top of the HW food chain. American media has told them over and over that white people aren't fighters or athletes. Well guess, the media is dead wrong.

That's why I fully support the klitchkos. Haters keep hating, klitchkos keep knocking people out.

BTW Mike tyson had the EASIEST HW career ever. The guy fought more bums than anyone. Then he ran into real competition like lewis and holyfield and got his ass whooped. But hes an " ATG "

resurrect a prime foreman and fight him.

Goodbye.

Whatever.

Foreman has a puncher chance but Wlad would outbox Foreman bad,if you think Wlad is a Gerry Cooney you are damn wrong,Wlad is skillfull,athletic,and his chinny days ar behind him due to perfect footwork and good D.

Foreman fought like a ****** and a poor boxer against Ali,throwin body punches like a ******,the guy was a beast but not a very good boxer.
And I don't care he beat a light heavyweight,Moorer at 45 years old.

Wlad would outbox Foreman so much it would be embarassing.
He was too slow to beat the 2010 Wlad.

Legends are overrated,boxing fans are ****** and biased.

I think its sad that you all from across the pond make this into a nationistic arguement. Plain and simple Vlad is boring and has a suspect chin. Dominating Cab drivers and hype jobs both american and non is nothing special.
Vit on the other hand takes risks he has an unusual style for a big man and he can knock heads. THe heart he showed in the Lewis fight was amazing.
I guess you can say that the Klits are dominating the division cause they havent lost in a while and they are the best at this time no doubt but to put them in the class with Ali and other greats is laughable.

To me it has nothing to do with where they are from it has to do with the way they fight and the lack of real oposition but that is not their fault.

...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.

the influx of european basketball players into the nba has slowed down pretty dramatically in recent yrs

I'm American and I don't hate the K brothers. I just think that the entire HW division is boring as ****!

For some reason the HW division is flourishing in Europe! So much so that even American fighter have to go there to get big fights.


But what people(Europeans) don't realize is that it's not just America that treats Wlad and Vitali with indiffrence it's also the rest of the world outside of Europe.

You think fight fans in Mexico are chomping at the bit to see Vitali vs Some no hope challanger?

[-Spinal-]

I'm a Klitschko fan(top 3 fave active fighter right now is Vitali) and I have to say, there is no great American HW right now. They're all fat and out of shape it doesn't take 20/20 vision to see that. Back in the days the American HW's like Holyfield, Bowe, Tyson etc were big too but at least they were muscular-bigm now HW's are just fat. The Klitschko's are good, but it makes you wonder how they would fare in the 90s and 80s if they were TKO'd by guys like Sanders, Byrd, Purity, Brewster?

to be fair, larry holmes had it much worse.

starched three times complete with flickery eyes and shaky legs.

Tell me something new

No, YOU tell us something new. Don't burp up losses from 11 years ago like a mad cow.

It's like someone spamming all Lennox threads by "Rahman anyone? McCall anyone?".

[knn]

If I were you I would not talk about being exposed about anything.

Hehe, add to it that mmm.ham.ad started a couple of Klitschko-hater threads ("Vladimir's head would fly into the cheap seats. All you would hear is shattered glass") and then bans anyone from the thread who disagrees while continuing to bump his thread by posting worthless crap like "Why do Klitards duck my threads" and "bumped again" and "bumped again and again".

What a schmock. And I still wonder why he wears a roll of toilet paper on his head:


**MmuhammadM's avatar in case he deletes it))

Don't forget that 60% of Ali's wins came against smaller men than himself and that he managed only a 60% KO ratio.

Clay's/Ali's KOratio that is comparable to nowadays heavies (= 200+ opponent within 12 rounds) is 11 KOs in Ali's ENTIRE HEAVYWEIGHT career, thus Clay/Ali plays in a different league than Klitschko.

As a result, today Ali is in diapers and a wheel-chair, not even able to speak without drooling all over himself.

I love your posts but I actually disagree with this one. I think that his Parkinson is not boxing related. I think he has what I call the "Hitler Syndrome", but that's rather offtopic here.

And how does that magically change his chin?

How much did he pay chuvalo for a chin transplant?
