No announcement yet.
Are the klitschko's the only Europeans to "never" leave Europe but have a HOF legacy?

Wladimir has fought around the same amount of time as Schmeling did in the U.S give or take a fight.
I'm only counting Wladimir since I think he is the only brother that has all time status.
And, all time Wladimir>>>Schmeling.Originally posted by Larryx2011 View Postthey both have fought in the US.Vitali got his eye taken out by Lewis here
Would you say they're the first to accomplish the majority of their legacy work in the U.S?
Hatton and Calzaghe came to the US to try and solidify thier status; the K2 bros are solidifying their status in Europe (except Vitaly against Lewis).
See what I'm saying and the difference?
Originally posted by Halls of Fame View Postthey both fought quite some times in the USA, Vitali also in great britain so this thread is nonsense. also they never ducked anybody from the USA or anywhere else so what is this thread REALLY about?
I made a mistake in the thread title.
I'm just pointing out a small fact that despite them fighting a few times in the states, the majority of the K2 bros leg work is done in Europe. Normally, it's the other way around. That's not a shot at them, just saying.
Originally posted by Roger08 View PostBoth have fought in America.
They make more money in Germany than they ever could in the states, It's not like theres a murderers row of top american heavyweights in America anyways, they have No need to fight in America.
Quite frankly I find it slightly insulting that some people think you have to fight the majority of your career in the USA to be "Great"
Those times are changing in the next 20 years you'll see Americans coming over to Europe and the UK for fights because that's where the money will be.
Boxing and most relevent sports are worldwide not just American.
Btw I'd just like to point out that I really like America so this isn't an anti america thing lol
This is true, which is what the whole point of the thread was about; how times were changing.

When you fail to do so, you start ignoring questions. Maybe I should start paying you by the hour for all your hard work/effort.

Relax man, not every thread is a shot at the K2 bros.

Yea you're going to "solidify" their status by fighting European fighters on American soil
Makes a whole lot of sense

But in an attempt to sound less ignorant, you said they never leave Europe like its 1 country when in fact its an entire continent consisting of 50 countries
Was I suppose to put all 20 countries in my OP or is it ok if I just name the continent?

Go back and try to understand what I meant, instead of trying to turn this harmless thread into some kind of argument.

But this one just takes the cake, it just shows how much of a hater you are, making a thread that says they never leave Europe when they left 17 times
Not only that but classifying Europe as almost 1 country like all of Europe is their home turf

You pretend like its not a shot at them but it is. You didnt do your HW and make no sense with this thread.
Im not sure how Hatton secured his legacy in the US either, going 2-4 and losing his only 2 big fights
