Why do the Klitschkos receive so much hatred?

they never gave james toney his shot...he would have whooped both of
them....

The same way he whooped Sam Peter in the re-match.

James Toney isn't even a knockout artist at Heavyweight, and he isn't beating either brother by points.

I find it difficult to conceive anyone would think that.

Some one who slurs their speech and is as punch-drunk as James Toney honestly believes it. I guess James Toney is a boxingscene poster.

I finally watched the Klit/Peter match. It was pretty hard to watch.

I don't hate the Klits though.

yeah the same way vlad keeps fighting bums toney is no bum and vlad already beat peter for him to have to face him again....toney was callin the clits out and they went deaf...so if they can beat him so bad why fight peter? and duck him all those other times?

toney's never been KO'D in BOXING....he probably would get his ass whooped now but like i said toney was calling them out a long time ago which is part of the reason he went to the UFC because he knew his call for a fight would be answered.....

I really do hate to read that silly comment trotted out by so many daft posters.

Sure, Toney's got a good chin (though a huge percentage of it is technique and James isn't rolling with those punches so good anymore) but how much of his career was spent OUTSIDE the heavyweight division?

Just listen to the difference in his speech before and after the two Peter fights.. the guy is getting whacked far harder than he's ever been.

To say that he wasn't KO'd as a middleweight means he won't be KO'd by Wlad is just... ridiculous.

The Klitschkos are excellent role models for kids growing up.



Maybe that's why they have such a low profile in the US media - the scumbags who run the sports media don't want the kids to have decent men to look up to.

Yeah uhhm shure thing is Kids don't have the patience to see so boring fights... Seriously. I don't hate the Klitschkos, I actually like Vitali but Wlad is sooo boring it's unbearable to watch, he is a great fighter though and I respect him.

It depends on the individual I think.

- Some hate them because they are so dominant

- Some hate them because they are white men.

- Some hate them because of envy (an ugly loser like Teddy Atlas no doubt feels inferior to the K bros)

- Some hate them because of nationalism, either American or UK

- Some hate them because they are better than their favorite fighter (for example, Haye nuthuggers)

- Some feel intimidated by them because of their intelligence and education

- Some people of weak character (drug addicts, criminals and woman-beaters) hate people of strong character like the Klitschkos

- Some hate them because of a combination of the above reasons

Or some people simply dislike Wlad because he is BORING as hell. What you gonna do call me a euro-hating racist because I find Wlad boring? I am white european.

To be honest with you, I felt Vitali's fight with Sosnoski was way more of a snoozer than Wlad's fight with Peter, and i like VK more than I do Wlad.
