Typical Bandwagon Nuthuggers Here... Where Have All The Klitschko Disciples?

[Pigeons]

But it shouldn't be, and that's the point. Don't make excuses for people like that, criticize them about it. Just because one fighter in recent memory sold his fights flaunting his undefeated record doesn't mean it's the standard or the norm, or good fighters don't take losses. It's the exception, not the rule. And frankly, fans like that are pathetic, and can't be considered real fans, that's the equivalent of bandwagon fans in other sports. You can make it out to not be a big deal, but it shows a lot about a persons character, and that should be a big deal to anyone who gives a crap about self respect.

I think it happens because a lot of those fans are really young (less than 18) and/or haven't been following the sport for more than a year or two.

Well that's fair, and it's good to see new fans of the sport, but at the same time new fans of the sport need to do their homework on the sport, and be loyal to a fighter lol.

I'm a fan but hardly a "disciple".

[W. Ledochowski]

I don't like the term "fan" or "disciple", but i like Wladimir Klitschko... His legacy is rock solid, even with the loss to Fury, and i want to see a rematch...

[Lester Tutor]

For me, the only way Klitschko to remain relevant is if he fights Luis Ortiz, and if by luck he were to outbox him, I'd rank him #1 p4p.

However, Ortiz is the boogieman to Klistchko. It'd be goodnight Southpaw ala Corrie Sanders again, I don't think Klitschko would survive past the 7th. I think it'd look like a Bellew TKO'd by Adonis on the ropes, head just whiplashed around.

I don't get this thread... If there's any group that took a loss well, it's the Klitschko fans. For the most part, they haven't been antagonizing anyone or making excuses. Most have been very accepting of his decline and have had reasonable expectations of how the rematch might go. There's a lot they could be saying. Fury couldn't let his hands go either (especially against a frozen opponent) and it's not like Wlad got dominated. As horrible as Wlad looked, Tyson was only slightly better, allowing him to take numerous rounds. But, the K fans seem to be surprisingly humble about that.

It seems like this thread is just a cheap-shot whereas I think they should be applauded for behaving better than any number of other fanbases after a loss (Pac, Hopkins, Froch, Canelo, Cotto, Matthysee, Maidana, etc, etc).

No not really. They came up with a million excuses.

For better or worse, I am and always will be a Klittard.

Nobody cares what you think.

What excuses?

You mean the fact that Wlad's old? Well we didn't fake his birth certificate.

Or the fact that the fight was boring as hell and Fury won by a small margin?

If anything it's Fury fans who are delusional with your 'Fury outclassed Wlad' talk. That didn't happen, I don't know why you guys feel the need of bigging up an already big win.
