    Dan Rafael: "Unlike Floyd, the Klitschko bros. seek out the BEST possible opponents"

    excerpt from the article "Appreciate the dominance of the Klitschkos"

    It is not as though the brothers -- good guys out of the ring, too, by the way -- are ducking anyone. (And, no, not fighting each other doesn't count, because I don't blame them for not fighting each other.) On the contrary. Unlike, say, Floyd Mayweather Jr., the brothers seek out the best possible opponents regularly.

    Middleweight contender Avtandil Khurtsidze has had a long wait for another shot at a belt, but it's here now and Khurtsidze vows to make it count.

              I can't see how its not true. The Klits are fighting the best opponents available there just arent many. The #3 and #4 guys in the division want no part of them.

                      obviously dan wants to see pac/wifebeater jr and is taking every opportunity to goad them into fighting pac.

                                  Do you blame him? It’s not like Floyd is taking the initiative by conquering boxing best, the man warrants criticism and some…

                                      I agree, wifebeater Jr. is a disgrace to boxing.

                                      Big deal, he fought Mosley at 38 after knowing that Mosley had back to back training camps and blood drained him.

                                      Berto got paid step aside money and lied about why he ducked Mosley.

                                      This sport is a joke.
