The Klitschko's moving down to the Cruiserweight Division.....

[jimmy1569]

I'm a Klitschko Bros fan (more of Wlad than Vitali) but I long for a competitive fight where Wlad/Vitali lose a round or two or three and have to deal with some real adversity. I've been waiting years for a fight like this to happen, to no avail.

Maybe next year...

Look the brother's as a whole have won 90% of the rds they've ever fought... more than 95 % of the time they get there hands raised & knockout more than 85 % of there opponents. Fighters & opponents have had there entire careers to win more than a couple of rds against them in & have come up short about 104 times. The brother's have lost no more than 3 rds in ANY bout they've been in.

This type of dominance is so unprecedented that they're being blamed for there own dominance & there opponents are being downgraded. What we're doing is underrating there opponents just so we DON'T overrate them. There opponents are no different than any of the past great's opponents... only difference is they are utterly destroying them & past greats didn't do this with similar opposition & that's why the brothers are being downgraded... we can't accept that they're really that good when they really are. You have Vitali KLitschko who NO one has ever found a way to legitimately beat when he's physically fit during a bout... 43 times opponents have failed miserably when that happens... no legit way to beat him... yet we ALL find excuses for how destructive this fighter has REALLY BEEN... NO ONE in the history of boxing has dominated each & every one of his opponents the way he has... all the numbers in the world MORE than prove this as fact... no ones even close.

The Klitschkos are nothing but the product of a dead division. Get over it.

the nerve of a ******* to say this. while pac has dodged the only live opponent for the last two years

They are extremely good but the division is lacking depth and is full of fat bums and blown up little men.

Personally I'd like to see a Super HW division for 230+ pounds and that might force the blown up guys to stay in shape at HW.

Yeah... but now they're taking on in shape cruisers & doing the same damage to them. That excuse of out of shape fighters doesn't hold water any longer... The brother's will destroy anyone from 200 to 300 lbs..... those are the facts... the weight matter is all a bunch of excuses... doesn't matter what shape there opponents come in.... there skills always take over.

[jimmy1569]

You look at the average weight of there opponents throughout there careers & it's not that much different than past great's opponents. Truth is they're actually taking on bigger & stronger foes than there predessecors.. This isn't Wilt Chamberlain & Bill Russell taking on much more inferior & smaller foes & there dominance is not based on taking on cruiser weights 200-210 lbs.. they're taking on bigger foes.. esp. in the last decade.

Same tired racist argument. The HW division has not changed since lennox left.

Heavies on average have always been a bit chubby and sluggish.

Fact is the brothers are dominant.

I'm sorry but where was there anything of race mentioned in my comment? gtfoh w/that bs

Thank you... voice of reason.

voice of reason? more like a follower of a fool!
