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

[Vadrigar.]

... because US boxing fans don't like to see their US boxers being KOed.

[elgu]

They dont like them because the Klitschko brothers are dull...wonderfull human beings but dull fighters. Sure they Ko their opponents but after having to see 9 rounds of just jabs who the hell cares.

well said i couldn't agree more and the more upsetting thing is that the bigger people in the industry feel the same too with bull**** rankings etc

Knn, really, you have an excuse for everything, even when there are good points established. You act like us Americans only root for our own countrymen, not so. You get your facts mixed up more often then not. Admit it, you're a Klitschko fanboy.

What you call good points I call "lame excuse".

You act like us Americans only root for our own countrymen, not so.

Never claimed that.

You get your facts mixed up more often then not.

Examples please.

Admit it, you're a Klitschko fanboy.

Look at my sig. No mention of Klitschko there. Look at my avatar.

NBA is quite a bit less popular then it was during the 80's 90's. They were deep in the red this year. They weren't "money" this year.

Klitschko's would be quite popular in the United States if they were American. But they aren't and therefore won't be, but they still have legions of loyal fans in Central Eastern Europe as any quick view of there fights would suggest. But it has nothing to do with a lack of skill, their phenomenal boxers, they simply haven't been marketed in a certain way.

You can go back and read everything I've said, I'm not hating, I simply state what really is happening from an unbiased side with the situation. The only thing I see you doing is making every excuse you can because you are blinded . You have already been owned a couple times on this thread but keep going with it. I for one and as many others have spoken the truth more then enough on this thread, this will be my last post on this thread. It's like beating a dead horse. You can lead a horse to water type deal.

What the heck are you talking about?

i disagree... i can disagree with his opinion...

the heavyweight division is fine

and americans are making excuses, cause there mad that the klits are dominating

Actually just the two facts:
#1 Wlad has beaten nearly every American into oblivion
#2 Americans are bitching about the sour state of the division
tell you already 90% of what you need to know.

Every "argument" Americans come up with is already highly suspect and usually gets disproven by facts or exposed as fabrication or is merely haters' fantasy.

There is some truth in your post. It's disgusting the way many Americans play down the Klitschko's abilities. They are completely dominant and exceptionally gifted physically and mentally.

Maybe if Wlad ****d someone, spent all his career money on Bengal tigers and bit someone's ear off he'd be 'a legend' and 'one of the greatest'?

I DGAF about heavyweighst period, and most of would be heavyweights in america have migrated to other sports, other sports that put them through college, other sports that pay a **** ton of up front cash, and other sports that they get more sponsors through. it's not an excuse it's fact, also a fact the other sports that they play and have been playing, they've been playing since they were SMALL children, boxing usually comes later in their lives, if they at all make a choice to box.

its known over in eastern european countries and in russia, boxing and gymnastics are sports they learn and participate in at a very early age, and its also common place for them to be involved with these sports.

so the fact that russians are just now coming into their own is a good thing, why did it take so long though? and not because of the berlin wall, or any of that political stuff, because they could've defected just like cuban fighters.

bottom line is this, hard work, talent, focus, and skills are what makes a champion, mixed with some good luck here and there, doesn't matter where you come from, with those all in line, coupled with good health, anyone can make it to the top.

i don't dislike the klitchskos, i actually like vitali, he's a fighter with a fighters heart, wlad isnt, he just has a build and skills and is focused. vitali has separated himself from little bro with action fights and his willingness to mix it up, wlad fights too scared for my liking, he's not entertaining, but then again, 99% of all heavyweights are not entertaining......... only a very small few and they aren't around anymore.....
