Comments Thread For: Mitchell: If Klitschkos Were American, Fans Would Rave

[JAB5239]

Another jimmy nuthugger who follows me wherever i go & advertises for me... keep up the bad work.. son. I rate them accordingly on size.. strength & boxing skills. So Vitali doesn't kick ass for a living? He doesn't enter the ring & his opponents are shivering at the mere sight of him... look at his opponents faces before the bouts.. even your boy LL was shook... Vitali pierced right through him. HAVE some respect for the most dominating fighter of alltime>>> bar none!

Lol, you have no idea how to rate a fighter, son. It's impossible for you to do so with all that Klitschko spooge in your eyes. :bukkake:

[-Lowkey-]

idiot statement...........wlad & vitali are considered sloppy, stiff. & boring by the american public.........if they were americans they would be ignored.

But Jeff Lacy is the next Tyson.......rigggghhhhtttttttt

I totally disagree. Because If the Klit bros happened to be Italian boys from Brooklyn, NY or farm boys from Nebraska they would be beyond popular in the USA. There would be parades in their honor and they would have keys to most American cities. They would be all over late night talk shows and also have honorary degrees, see Mike Tyson, from numerous US colleges and universities. But what the hell they are pretty popular in Europe and regardless who they fight they draw huge crowds and make millions of dollars in the process. And Wlad may fight safety first and get a little boring. However, one word that I don't think anyone with even an ounce of knowledge about the sport of boxing would associate with him, or Vitali, would be sloppy.

the klits are both sloppy....wlad gasses out & slouches all over the place.....vitali's balance sucks a**. he's always slouching all over the place. LOOK VERY VERY CLOSELY...........

larry holmes was better then both klits........larry holmes fought much better comp vs ether klit, & the american public could care less about him in a golden era.........

what makes you think that americans would care about the klits in a **** era. THEY WOULD BE IGNORED IF THEY WERE ITALIAN AMERICANS.....no one would care.

sorry bro............

He's a good example when it comes to lack of respect from media & fans alike... but the brothers have POWER.. they knock people out.. Holmes didn't so your comparison in terms of the style of fighting is way off base, except for perhaps the outstanding jabs. You want a boring fighter.. don't get any more sleep inducing than Larry.

holmes work rate was better then ether klit. his faints, jab, body punches was better then ether klit. he also fought TOUGH comp & his power was smashing. it's just that he fought guys that had never been ko'd before. the klits fight slop so it's EASY to APPEAR as if you have more power then a tyson or a larry holmes.........

larry holmes was MUCH more exciting in the ring vs ether klit & the american public still hated him.

the klits = trash that fight in a slop era. thats why they are ignored.............

He'd be a dull, feather-fisted fighter like Timur Ibragimov with a VERY LOW KO PERCENTAGE compared to the Klitschkos.

Larry Holmes punches harder than Ross Purity and Chris Byrd...lol

[americanbot]

But Jeff Lacy is the next Tyson.......rigggghhhhtttttttt

did the american public take to jeff lacy & say that he was the next tyson? or was jeff lacy being PROMOTED by his handlers as the next tyson?

are you this dumb bro............

Seth is 100% correct

The Klit Bros are wildly popular in europe..

Why isn't that enough for you you..????????????????????

Props to Seth Mitchell for rising above the ignorance and bigotry against the Klitschkos.

I'll be rooting for him against Ibragimov tonight.

No they wouldn't. American fans have gone crazy over non-American fighters before. The simple answer is that the Klitchko's don't have a very exciting style. Technical and efficient, Yes. Exciting, No.

A very good comparison would be Larry Holmes. Excellent HW with great technical skills and a surgeons jab with a long rein as Champion. However he was never that popular because his style wasn't that exciting. Heck he even entered the right FIRST for a fight even though he was the Champion.

Some of the Euro's have to just stop crying about this issue and face the truth.

Larry Holmes is a bad example for a few reasons. The first one was he followed Ali and he couldn't of and never came close to filling Ali's shoes. Larry also beat him badly and I don't think many fans got past that. And the Klit bros have one thing that Holmes could never have, and I will go ahead and say it, they are white. And if they happened to be white American heavyweights they would be beyond popular. And think about this, white American heavyweight champs don't even have to be real, see Rocky Balboa, and they get elected into the boxing Hall of Fame. I also don't believe that the Klit bros ties to the former Soviet Union do them any favors in the minds of many American fans.
