    im with you, bro. i have NO CLUE why klits get no love in USA. They are more exciting then david haye. did you see that fools fight against valuev? he threw the least amount of punches ever in a heavyweight title fight since 1890.

      It's all in your head. I'm about as gabacho as they come and I like em' both.
      Do I think that they are dominant in an ATG sense? Probably not. There are alot of heavies from when I was kid that I think would beat Wlad. Less that would beat Vitali. The Klits rock. Calm down.

          Yeah IDK how he exactly has brought excitement back to HW boxing, maybe outside the ring but certainly not in it since he moved up to HW.

            Excitement is a matter of opinion for starters. It just so happens that a lot of people find it just as exciting and entertaining to watch The Klitschko's dissect people. The problem is, they make it look too easy, and they fight smart. I personally love the technical displays that both of them put on consistently. It's not just the heavyweight divisions quality of fighters, these two are just that dominant. Check the KO % of either of them, their up there with the greatest of all time. Not that I think they would beat the greats of the heavyweight division, but their numbers do speak volumes.

            A fight doesn't have to be a car wreck to be exciting. Watching a smart technical fighter out-box his opponent is a thing of beauty and that is why Boxing is called the sweet science.

                And look at all the fighters he's faced throughout the years.

                Hopkins is a boxing legend with a hall of fame career, don't compare the man to those boring robots please! I know you're a Ricky Hatton fan, but please try to keep the ******ity down a notch, mate.

                  You're missing the point. US fans claim they don't like the Klits because they're boring, yet their own 'boring' fighters like BHop and Mayweather are talked up all the time. Ergo US fans don't like the Klits because they're not American. If they were, can you imagine how popular they would be? it would be insane.

                    No, you're missing the point. It's not just that they fight in a boring style, they do it against weak competition, if you have weak competition do what fighters in the past have done and get those bums out of there in a few rounds. Knock them the hell out, instead Wlad fights like a scared girl against the likes of Ibragimov and Thompson, when he has the skills and power to KO them in 3 rounds.

                    You're wrong about Floyd Mayweather and Hopkins, they've paid their dues throughout the years and have been in plenty of significant fights. Look at Andre Berto, a boring American fighter who fights bums gets no love in the states, so don't come in here and say we're bias because the American public is in love right now with a fighter from the Philippines.

                      Its people like you that the TS is talking about. Talking completely out of your ass when its obvious you havent even seem a fight of theirs
                      Best post...right here..exactly my sentiments...the ONLY hugging Vitali does is with his wife at night. He creates separation with his fists..if you get too close he'll push you off so he can go back to dissecting you.
