      Is this a joke? Holmes is a top 10 heavyweight all time. Klitschko is absolutely not.

        It's clearly wladamir but Holmes will get more votes
        Or it's more like you have no idea about the history of the sport. Not surprising for someone that has only followed the sport since 2008 though.

          These idiots don't know how popular Holmes was in his day. Not to mention dominant. His fights were big events. Klitsko is good to but boxing isnt what it used to be in the 80's. Klit can't even get on HBO

              LOL. KLitschko only cant be on HBO cause it hurts the americans way too much to see a white european beating up american heavyweights since a decade. thats the only reason why HBO wont show their fights. and you know it

                Uh No it's because they get no ratings. Hbo doesn't care about who beats up who they care about how much money they make. Are you dense? You think they run a multi billion dollar corparation like an angry todller taking his kick ball home. Come join us in reality.



                Ps Holmes would KO Wald. He gets knocked out to much against way lesser fighters then Holmes

                  Some Examples

                  RJJ Will brutally **** Benn-Eubank etc threads

                  RJJ **** on Calzaghe during Prime threads.
                  Calzaghe is over rated hype job ****ing bum

                  Prime Hopkins **** on Calzaghe


                  Stuff like that.

                  Froch and Lennox get more pass then the rest, but that can be explained.

                  1-Froch was dominated by Ward. Which makes him ok

                  2- Lennox Lewis is the American Weapon to counter something they hate even more. The Klithsckos

                  American Boxing Posters need Lewis because of the tko6 and because in all
                  h2h match ups he is the only super heavyweight they can use to bash the Klithschos.

                  Since most Klitschko fans like to use size as an argument, Lewis being the Super HW he is , is the perfect Kbro Foil.



                  You can tell the extreme bias right away though, when the same posters
                  bashing the kbros by using 'TKO6' AND 'LEWIS WASN'T EVEN PRIME BRAH'

                  viciously turn on Lennox in another thread entitled

                  prime tyson vs prime lewis
                  then all of a sudden Lewis becomes a glass Jaw Brit who Tyson will brutally murder ....

                  Great Post!! I see that too.

                    Vitali's fight vs Arreola was the highest rated fight on HBO that year. And it wasn't because Arreola is a household name.

                    They aren't on HBO all the time b/c they fight in Germany. But why should they fight in the US where boxing isn't popular generally anymore when they can fill 50,000 seaters in Germany?

                    The USA is irrelevant in boxing now outside of Mayweather and he has limited appeal because of his warped personality. When the K-Bros era ends the HW division will still be run by large white Brits and Euros: Price, Fury, Helenius.

                      They don't even fight Americans most the time. When they are on HBO, it's usually to fight an American heavyweight. If you're going to pretend America hates the Klitschkos, at least tell the truth.
