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

[mECHsLAVE]

dont ask masterdirector. hes the most biased when talking about the klitschkos.

More biased than Bloodshed? He must be one seriously sick and disturbed individual. Because Bloodshed tosses and turns at night and wakes up in a sweat yelling "WLADIMIR!!! NOOOOOOOOooooo....." Then he runs to his computer and makes another Wlad poll.

I can't seem to place it. No matter what either Klitschko has accomplished in the ring, there has always been a disproportional amount of contempt for them on this forum and others on the internet. This has been going on for years. I'm not trying to start a flame war, but I think both brothers are great for boxing and are exactly what the sport needs (clean cut, intelligent gentleman who behave themselves out of the ring and always show up to fight in good physical condition and usually produce knockouts)to progress into the mainstream. In what ways does my perception of them differ from yours? I'm curious to hear from all the Klitschko haters on the forum.

I think people hate them because of their skin color, nationality, or religion. Maybe they beat up someone they liked or any one of a dozen more reasons. If I had to pick just one reason, I'd say it's because they're white.

One thing I'm sure of, most of this shameless hatred has nothing to do with boxing.

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

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

From my experience, the haters are 10 times more rabid than the fans. I don't buy the guilt by association gig. It's just a front for the truth

Where are these rabid fans? I'm a fan but I wouldn't consider myself rabid by any means.

Check out the forums on other boxing sites, there are some pretty rabid fans on there and here. I wouldn't consider you one of them, but it gets annoying when I hear people just hype these guys up to no end. I say let Wlad actually achieve something first, like get a title, before we call him an ATG...

[Pno]

No I don't think thats it at all. I just think its idiot fans who hang on the Klit brothers every move and even go so far as to suggest that they are all time greats or they can beat all time greats. Its the fans that really make the brothers look bad.

As much as I hate to say it, isn't that the reason that many don't follow Jesus in this world? When you see a Christian calling others names or churning disrespect of others or acting fanitcal through judgement and other actions they were never told to do, doesn't it make non-believers think twice about ever believing in the Lord? Just a thought.. maybe it would be fair to look at it like that.

(and before anyone says anything silly, by no means am I trying to make either of the Klitschko brothers out to be equal with the Messiah and Lord Yeshua)

For every fighter you'll have fans and haters. If you disrespect fighters than you are not a true boxing fan. Real boxing fans respect fighters, ALL FIGHTERS, no matter what color, because they know the guts it takes to be in the ring. They may not like them personally, but they respect the fact that they are fighters.
