Nice job Rafael, telling it like it is. You are never going to see a story about the Kltischkos ducking someone or for beating their girlfriends/wives, unlike Mayweather.

Sally-Jessie Rafael is loosing credibility as a writer who should leave his personal oppinions outside of his profession. He has become a Mayweather hater and a professional writer should not allow those feeling to reflect on his "unbias" articles.
I have wrote to him about this, but He doesn't stop. He thinks He's a celebrity and that his oppinions rule.
You can't write sports and show you are a hater.

I disagree with fatboy Dan

Yes the Klit brothers are taking on the "best" opposition out there....but look at all the bums they have to pick from, there's nobody to give them any form of challenge so it's easy for them plow away through the whole division

Floyd in his last last 5 or so has fought nothing but pound for pound top ten fighters for his mega fights.....Shane, Marquez, Hatton, and Oscar were all ranked very high at the time but people seem to forget that due to their selective memory to not give Floyd any credit...

Raphael lost all credibility when he published that "Marquez was robbed against Chris John" article then admitted a couple weeks later he hadn't seen the fight.

It's a good point. The difference is that Mayweather is fighting in one of the strongest divisions possible but does not fight the best often. I think he feels that he doesn't have to, but he does.

The Klitschko's will fight anyone and are fighting in the weakest division imaginable, I really don't think they would pass even a opportunity they were doomed to lose. Their opponents are totally afraid of them though XD Like complete opposites...

**** don't both of the Klits hold degrees? Sure Vitali showboats alot and isn't always terribly respectful in a fight, but neither of them have any controversy outside of the ring, which is such a breath of relief/Show of how a TRUE professional should behave.

Granted the best in Klitschkos department are a far cry from Floyd's, but still damn, it messes with the fanbase...If you want to be the best show you can beat the best, Noone cares if you ****ing lose, just get up and take that rematch!

Their is no comparison between Floyd's legacy and both the Klit's combined, but I do not blame the Klits for that, I blame their lazy ass, heartless, gutless opponents for that.
