Why do the Klitschkos receive so much hatred?

[Spray_resistant]

Two reasons:

1. They suck
2. Their fans don't know boxing and think they're actually good, which is annoying

With a sig like that you shouldn't be saying any boxers suck.

I kinda like Vitali... But Wlad is just soooo painfully boring I just can't watch his fights. I don't hate him, he is a very good fighter but just so boring.

Not true:

1. Klitschko's don't suck
2. Some of their fans are just crazy fanboys (eg Steelhammer2010 etc etc)

yea his last fight was annoying. so much clinching. that aint boxing!!!

[PEBBLES!]

essentially becuz they dont fight eachother

People hate Wlad because he won't fight his brother?

That is plain silly.

They are very very good at what they do, it's extremely effective . It just happens to be extremely boring to watch imo.

You find all those KOs boring?

I don't.

I know if Wlad were Black, you'd like him better.

Actually I think its great a fellow white fighter has come along and dominated the HW division for the first time in over 50 years, but for being so big and strong, it sucks watching him fight like he's scared to death to get hit with one shot. Its like those KO losses really effected his confidence in his chin, and rightfully so. He's a very good fighter, but he fights very defensive and it takes him a while before he gets those guys out of there. He gets them after he has wore them down over a long fight for the most part. I grew up watching Tyson, so its hard to appreciate this type of knock out fighter.

I think it is because the heavyweight champion has always been "the man" in Boxing. People want an exciting, larger then life fighter that they can get behind. Guys like Ali and Tyson have set the bar very high in that regard. Keep in mind that I am a big fan of both Wlad and Vitali. But I also understand how some people look at a guy like Wlad and just see a friendly guy jabbing another man to death for 10 rounds when he could be putting them away quickly and viciously. I dont buy that most of the people who dislike them do so because they are Euro's or because they are White. Its an easy excuse to throw out, but just blanketing people as racists or as xenophobs is just lazy. Let's just accept that they arent for everyone and move on. Dont make it into something that it isnt.

It doesn't have anything to do with hatred. I think that most people (myself included) are bored to death, with Klitschko brothers boring fights and the fact that in today's heavyweight divison, there's no one capable of beating them and that's not because Vitali and Wlad are super-talented, it's because the others are incredibly poor.

They are also not charismatic. I don't hate them, it's just that I'm not so fascinated about their boxing style. Sure, they are effective and it's not their fault, that the rest of the heavyweight divison is piss poor. That's about it: they do their job, they win with no style whatsoever and wait for the next bout. The skin colour has nothing to do with it. It's just a ridiculous opinion.
