george chuvalo says todays heavyweights are the cure for insomnia

exactly, the US media feeds off controversy and drama. That's why Wlad is not famous in the US, he doesn't go around talking crap.

Thats not it at all. He just isn't a dynamic fighter. The out of ring stuff has nothing to do with it. His style is not marketable because he is a HWT.

Are you saying the truth here or are you just having your little agenda?

If we didn't have the Klitschkos, I would never have become a boxing fan. Watching Holmes, Ali and Holyfield puts me to sleep.

Different strokes for different folks.

Holyfield-Bowe, Holyfield-Foreman put you to sleep? Really?

I started watching boxing after seeing Wlad in 2000. His fights with Bostice and Barrett were televised.

If those 3 great HWs put you to sleep than Wlad vs Ibragamov must have knocked you out eh? Or did you find that entertaining while watching Ali was boring as hell?

there are so many more popular sports in the USA then boxing,so guys like ali & tyson knew they had to do something to garner attention & it worked....in a lesser fashion lets use tyson fury for an example...this guy got on the boxing map by dancing,punching himself & talking like he was 2000-0 in the ring & an alltime great...most boxing fans know who he is like him or not.hes what 12-0 & beat no one...awesome self promotion in my eyes & now hes toned it down but hes now on the boxing map.
