Where do YOU rate the Klitschkos?

[edgarg]

It pisses me off something terrible when people say the brothers suck and are boring.

FFS!

Is it their fault their opponents are no good? Who is their to face? They've beaten everybody that is there to beat, even if that said opponent is terrible.

Im a big Klitschko fan...now, some just take it too far. THE FACTS...know what i mean...

Another thing i hate....the brothers could beat anybody from any era....FFS, they are in this era, deal with it....shut the **** up and leave it at that!

They are very skilled and do well for their age. One day, im convinced people will look back and say something nice about them both.

A big part is that this era is "so terrible" only because of the way they destroy their opponents. Without them, all the reigning and/or unbeaten champions they macerated would have made it a quite respectable era, comparable with any of theothers.

Not to forget the top fighters of this era whom they desgtroyed by the way they beat them so that they were never any good again, which would not have happened if they weren't around. They'd still be here making good fights against their well matched contemporaries.

I normally agree with pretty much everything you say, but didn't you say Tyson was a can & his head movement would be ineffective against Wlad? I see your point but weaving past that jab is a hell of a lot easier said than done. It's not a case of weaving past it, it's a case of closing down a huge distance, without getting tagged, landing & getting out without getting tagged. They also tend to lean back & sucker you in, in a sort of Carl Froch in his younger days did & draw you onto shots. Easier said than done, especially when you're giving away well over half a foot & a huge reach adavantage etc.

Tyson didn't "weave in , get his punches off and weave out again". He STAYED as long as his ipponent diden't run away.

You are very acute. Someone did do something to these guys when they were young. They were made either to get off the streets and go to school, or if past school age, to get off welfare and go and get a job. That must have been during the Ronald Regan era. That can cour a man.....of a certain type.......and the Malcolm X's of this world don 't help.

Nor the Jeremiah Wrights.

Oh STFU, you deluded ****.

You sound not too bright, but I'm sure you are better than that. Klitschko's loss to Ross Purrity was quite simple to explain and even EXCULPATE. He was a newly turned pro, having his 25th fight in his first 24 months as a pro, was a bit worn down, weighed 225, Killed this hard rock guy for 10 rds and collapsed in the 11th, and was stopped in his corner at the break.

All this says is that Purrity had a cast iron jaw, the best ever, and the ref should have stopped the fight probably 5-6 times, because the way he won, was the only way he could have won. He took more punishment than even David Izon at his worst. The modern Joe Grim. It tells us something also that (I think) VK was the first guy to actually KO Purrity, who HAD a reputation of being unKO'able

Yup, it tells us that Purity was an old journeyman at the end of his career.

RubenSonny is not a racist. There is nothing racist about the guy. The same can't be said for you.

Jabs, is a great knowledgeable poster. Nothing mentally disturbed about him either. The same can't be said about you however.

Lol, he's always complaining of others being trolls yet he's always the one to cast the first stone. He's a sad little man who happens to be a liar and a hypocrite.

Good looking out though my friend, it's appreciated. Gotta spread some more green before giving it to you again, but I won't forget.

As far as the original post.....Yes the Klits are good fighters and would be contenders in ANY era. But the sad truth is that todays era is the absolute worst in heavyweight history. Most contenders are out of shape and have limited skills in comparison to fighters from past era's. On top of that they're content to fight 2 or 3 times a year against weak opposition to maintain their rankings. It's a very sad time for heavyweight boxing.

Lol, your posts were deleted because you were trolling.

Vitali wasn't the first person to stop Purrity, Cleveland Woods was.



Interesting that Puritty was an ex Am. football player.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. There'd be a lot more competitive fights for sure, but the main problems with this era, undertrained, overweight fighters fighting once or twice a year or padding their records against stiffs, wouldn't go away just because the Klitschkos did. Povetkin might not have massively pussed out and spent the next two years of his ring career fighting nobodies, and Haye might well have stunk the joint out a few years more, but there aren't too many other examples I can think of of fighters doing better for themselves. It's a convenient excuse to claim that the Klitschkos' dominance is the root of the division's detractors, but there are far deeper problems than that.

Your other posts were nothing more than you getting in a b*tchy little argument where you were talking about people's family because you have no argument for the complete bullcrap you were posting.

You have no idea what you are talking about involving Joe Frazier. I wonder if you even know who he actually is.
