If the Klitschkos were two brothers from Detroit or Philadelphia...

[Jack Napier]

only Lewis fans hate Vit, and they still would
Wlad would still get bashed for fighting too cautious
nationalism has nothing to do with it
Vit's hated by Lewis fans due to outcry over the cut stoppage
Wlad's hated for not being more aggressive in the ring
it's literally that simple

[VERSION1 (V1)]

No. Some people disliked him, but he didn't have persistant, obsessed haters like the Klitschkos have.

yes it was it has died down now but back in the day it was high you forget holmes came in between two beloved fighter ali and tyson.


and just like holmes they will get the respect they deserve when the retire and are long gone

If Andre Ward from the Ukraine, would you have a boner for him?

A normal Tunney broken record post. They might be a bit more popular but not nearly on the level you want to lead on as why you consider them disliked in America. Plenty of non American fighters have done well in the states. Look at GGG and how well he is doing or Manny Pacs rise. America is one of the least nationalistic nations. If you're exciting you will make it big here.

If Andre Ward from the Ukraine, would you have a boner for him?

No, because he's

1) feather-fisted
2) a b1tch who demanded home country advantage for all his Super Six fights
3) a cheater who uses deliberate headbutts and hitting off the break
4) hits while holding his opponents arm, can he not win without doing that?

Where a fighter is from has nothing to do with it. There's a lot of fighters from Europe I've never liked:

Sven Ottke (feather-fisted, home advantage guy like Ward)
Viktor Postol (skilled but feather-fisted Ukrainian)
Marco Huck (dirty with his deliberate rabbit punches)

By the way I'm not Ukrainian, I'm Canadian.

Ward, Hopkins and Mayweather are not at all exciting.

Both Klitschkos are MUCH more exciting than those guys.

[Ray Corso]

They would have better left hooks (Philly)!! Other than that if they were the same they'd still be above average to me but in no way be ATG's! Good is pretty damn good these days!!! Ray

No their boring. Mayweather atleast has some good fights like Cotto, Oscsr, Hatton. and his early years.

Dumb question to ask aince GGG and Mattysse are 2 of the most loved fighters on this site because their exciting

Theres no doubt in my mind that if the K-bros were American they would be PPV, or at least massively popular over there.

The poll result has answered the question.

They actually receive quite a bit of hate from the very same people who hate the Klitschkos.

Of course like the Klitschkos they are appreciated by real boxing fans around the world.

But there seems to be something about the HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION not being African-American that REALLY bothers certain people, that's why there's so many obsessive, persistant Klitschko haters.
