Comments Thread For: Bryant Jennings: The Klitschko Brothers Are Not Gods!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Bryant Jennings believes he can work his way into position to challenge Wladimir Klitschko or Vitali Klitschko by the end of this year.

That process will continue Friday night, when Jennings (16-0, 8 KOs) is scheduled to encounter Russia’s Andrey Fedosov (24-2, 19 KOs) in a 10-round heavyweight fight in Bethlehem, Pa. Defeating Fedosov in this NBC Sports Network main event (8-11 p.m. ET) would bring Jennings one step closer toward realizing his dream of facing one of the two heavyweights who’ve dominated their division for most of the past 10 years.

Whenever the undefeated fighter from Philadelphia gets the opportunity every legitimate heavyweight wants, Bryant knows he’ll put forth the effort he hasn’t seen from many of the opponents the Klitschkos have dominated in recent years. [Click Here To Read More]

'They're just tall guys' ... We heard that how many times?
Another American fighter, Steve Cunningham, said that even if the Klitschko's were smaller, they'd still be champions.
It's great to see a guy have confidence, but as we know, things change when you actually get in the ring with one of the brothers.

Oh no.

I foresee a thread full of fanboys explaining why the klitschkos are in fact, Gods.

People say the Klitschkos wouldn't be so good if only they weren't so tall. That's like arguing that Mike Tyson would never be champ had he not had punching power, or that Muhammad Ali was only good because of his quickness relative to his size. This may be true, but are they really Tyson or Ali without these tools? The Klitschkos' size is a fundamental part of who they are and what they bring into the ring; take this element away and they cease to be Klitschkos, thus making that argument null and void.

Jennings is way off the mark I don't think the Klitschko's or Klitschko fans call them gods - they are just the best out there at the moment and I find it hard to see where the next better fighter is coming from - they are the best in there era just like Mayweather is and Ward is in their respective divisions. So come on Jennings prove me wrong but somehow I doubt it.

Well said.

Why such animosity? I don't think they will, I understand why you are butthurt so much. Your God (David Haye) got beat by a normal human (Wladimir klitschko). So in that case I apologise, I'm sorry your deity was out classed.

I've heard countless Klitschko fans say that they are the best of all times. So yes, they do.

I have absolutely nothing against either Wlad or Vitali. I've said this a thousand times.
They don't particularly do it for me, especially Wlad. I used to love watching Vitali put a beating on someone. Not so much anymore. In fact, they both seem like cool guys.

What I don't like are their rediculous fans claiming they are the best of all times, or unbeatable. Trying to elevate their status higher than it is. They are the best of bad bunch yes. Could they hang in any era? Probably. Would they be champions in any era? HELL no.

Best of all time does not mean they're "god"....? So once again, here's Lacedup in a Kitschko thread with his usual routine
