they set different kind of examples. if you walk into a boxing gym in urban UK, Mayweather's influence is strong. kids look up to his work ethic and his skillset.
if you're asking who has the more benevolent, charming image, it's Wladimir.Last edited by S. Saddler 1310; 03-12-2013, 07:52 AM.

Originally posted by Freedom.More people watch Klitschko fights than Mayweather fights. They are telecasted in over 100 countries in the world: Japan, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Germany, Russia, Kazakhstan, etc.
Over half the people in Ukraine watch every Klitschko fight on their national public TV network IHTEP.
Kids in Europe and Asia know who Wladimir Klitschko is.

easily its Klitman. Hes fairly clean cut, educated and political even, though I do recognise he has some skeletons in his cupboard. That's where he keeps them, and that's why hes a better rep.
Floyd is a joke as a rep of the sport - its not that hard to be a better rep of boxing than a wife beating criminal egotist who is really good at boxing.
The question was classier, not more recognised, and though Klitman is unknown outside Germany and selected areas of Europe compared to Floyd whom even his dad is well known worldwide, he still portrays the classier image.Last edited by DreamFighter; 03-12-2013, 08:50 AM.

Asking this question and "who the gentleman of boxing" is entirely different - you've tried to rephrase the second question into a faux question. In my opinion, Wladimir is the gentleman of boxing but Floyd presents himself as a better spokesperson for boxing because of what he has achieved and his hard work ethic. I'm not saying Wladimir isn't all that but he's not the pound for pound champion and he doesn't talk like he's the best - the person who talks like he's everything, has constantly proved it is the best representative for boxing.
Saying that - don't get confused with personality. I'll put it in another way - if both were to talk boxing and to expand the sport of boxing, Floyd takes it. He put drug testing in the spotlight, is #1 pound for pound as a fact, is undefeated as a fact and talks like he's the face of boxing (which is actually is). That's not just an achievement, it puts boxing into recognition.
What has Wladimir done for the sport of boxing - don't talk to me about his achievements. That's not important because he's not pound for pound.

does anyone care about wlad anymore. he isn't a representative for the sport if no one knows who he is. maybe in europe he is. in the US not so much.Last edited by The Big Dunn; 05-28-2013, 03:28 PM.
