Where does the HATRED for the Klitschkos on this forum stem from?

[mECHsLAVE]

People don't hate them because of their color, they hate them because of their rabid fans.

I totally, one-thousand percent disagree with that.

I rarely ever see a poster start a thread "Wladimir is the greatest! He will rule the division!" Or "The Klitschkos are indestructible!!"

But I see post after post after post saying Wladimir is a "joke" should "retire" has a "glass chin" is a "fraud."

Most posts you see which are favorable to the Klitschkos are just fans bringing it back into perspective after all the irrational hate and sweeping conclusions from the herd mentality. Most will admit the question marks concerning Wlad (shaky chin, questionable confidence) and praise other things about him (incredible left hand and offense for a big man, etc) but if you do this, and don't TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY bash the Klitschkos, then you're inevitably labeled a "Klitschko nuthugger."

It never fails.

Thanks! No problem about the K. And you know, even though my bar's red, I've only gotten bad karma from two individuals the entire time I've been here: Bloodshed and Bozo. I wear that as a badge of honor.

I have a theory on this...

I think that the posters who like the Klit brothers are seen by others as posters who only like the Klits because they're white(the Klits). Therefore the posters who see people who support the Klits as "frauds" in a sense becasue they only REALLY like them because they're white. I'm not saying this is the case but I'm saying that this maybe a reason to why you see people disrespect the Klits.

Could it also be that Wlad has yet to get a world title or really achieve anything meanignful in the division? It could also be that he has a soft chin, I maintain that HWs can't be great without a good chin.

Wow. I'm a Boxing fan and a Klitschko fan. Over the years, almost every boxer I've been a fan of has been a non-white.

Could it be that the haters - hate Klitschko fans simply because they're fans of white fighters?

That's what I think most of us are saying.

Also, isn't the WBO title "something". You know, the title Brewster has.

the fans might like the brothers because their white, but they normally give other reasons that are just as legit as well.
Didn't Wlad have the WBO title before? I suppose many claim that isn't really 'a title'..
Wasn't Lennox Lewis' chin quite glass?

did u understand the parallels I drew about Christians and fans?

Yeah but Wlad hasn't had that title since early 2003, but your right it does count as a world title. Who knows what the motives are, all I know is that if you disrespect fighters you aren't a real fight fan.

1. Because they're not Americans.
2. Because they speak with heavy accents.
3. Because they are white.

That's the reason in a nutshell, although I hate to put it so bluntly. If Wlad was Puerto Rican or from the Bronx, with the exact same record and performances, then you'd see 70-80% of the haters reverse their opinions. That's a fact, sadly.
