      Cause they move like damn robots out there. Like I said, white fighters just look sloppy and uncoordinated in the ring. Not saying the Klitchkos are sloppy because they aren't, they are good boxers but they can't move, these are big, lumbering men in there. Not to mention I have a certain threshold for jabs. I can only take a few hundred or so before I'm ripping my eyes out. As for Mayweather, I don't find him that exciting, I just find his skills pretty impressive. Most of my favorite fighters are the boxer/puncher type. I like a guy that isn't afraid to mix it up and brawl in the inside but he also needs to know how to create space, work the ring, and put a boxing lesson on his opponent.

        If Tyson hadn't boxed he would've been livin' it large in the NBA, slammin' those dunks like there's no tomorrow.

          Don't forget the debilitating effect Cricket has on the Indian athletic pool of potential HW world beaters.
          LOL Brilliant... ****ing brilliant...

          Those Ethiopian long distance runners would be feasting on these E. Euro HWs if running wasn't so big in their country...I mean feasting, literally...

            Mover over Koby, he's got nothing on prime Tyson, he'd be doing 360s all day every day.

              Are you crazy? Did you not see Vitali dance his way around Arreola with the swiftness of Fred Astaire?

              Not to mention he's almost 40 years old and coming off serious injuries that kept him out for years.

              Wlad is also very mobile.

              You need to rewatch the tape.

                Once a black/american HW is the HW champion, he will fight like 3 fights and then considered an ATG. That's how the standards are.

                  Canadians would dominate the heavyweight division if all our best athletes weren't playing hockey.

                    Riiiight, you double standard racist, I bet you think Holmes' jab was ATG. As well as Ali defensive clinches. The mix it up brawl fighter t who can create space hat you are so impressed with, that's the definition of Vitaly, if you ever have seen him fight that is, which you probably haven't.

                      This thread went from being good to just plain trolling.
