If Wlad Klitschko was american, he would be regarded as...

[JDezi4]

Will u people give it a rest with the tears for the Wlad.... Quit fuckin cryin

[Simurgh]

Wlad is TOP15 ATG resume wise and TOP5 ATG match-up wise.

[FUC_U_PAYME]

....one of the greatest Heavyweights of all time, if not THE greatest Heavyweight of all time. Period.
And you guys know its the truth.
You cant tell me there is anything Joe Louis has done that Wlad didnt do. They both ruled for a very very long time and their opponents were considered mediocre because of their dominance in the ring. How can anybody say Louis is the greatest ever and in the same breath say Wlad is "maybe top 15 or top 20".
Im not saying Wlad is the greatest ever, but if he was american, the american press would compare him to Joe Louis and Ali and Larry Holmes. Period.
And for all the youngsters on this forum who don't know anything about stuff which happened before 2010: after Wlad lost within one year to Brewster and Corrie Sanders, EVERYBODY said his career is over. Look what he done since then. The world press said Wlad is finished, he is done, his career is over. And look how he came back. Against the odds. That's comparable to all the won rematches of Muhammad Ali.

he would be just like , holmes, etc great fighters that nobody cares about
for the bold wtf?

!

A boring american heavyweight! But hed be in movies w will smith probably! Lmbo

[Daļa]

TS is trollin

WLAD is just boring, his style doesnt excite anyone and he has mainly fought overweight flabby bums

Vitali is a far better boxer he is near the top 10 somewhere because he went toe to toe with an Old Lennox Lewis, also he is a little more exciting than his jab jab glass jaw brother.

True if Wlad had fought Lennox in 2000-2003, would no have been a great fight like Vitali-Lennox. People still talk about this one. Wlad is great but so cautious it's boring sometimes. Rewatch 1st round against Thompson! Why just not jump on him and destroy him??

You really don't know much about American fight fans if you believe that. Look at the fighters that are popular here, they are either very flashy or they are very exciting, nothing that the Klitschkos are. Americans are probably some of the least biased fans in the world. We never carry or wave or flags and we don't care where you came from. Look how accepting we are of Pacquaio for example. The Klitschkos are just downright boring. We accept that they are the best in a god awful division but no one would give two ****s if they were Americans.

SOME Klitchko fans are simply projecting. The issue is that THEY love the Klitchkos because of their nationality, it doesn't matter how they fight as long as they win because that equals national pride. Some Fillipino Pacquiao fans are like that at heart, but Pacquiao happens to be very exciting by contrast .
