    When was that last photo of the btwo of them taken? Tyson was one fat slob then. I'll I give him lots of credit for this - he's done a great job trimming down. Of course even harder is keeping the weight off. Has he gone vegetarian?

    The amazing Doctor Klitschkos are the clearly the greatest heavyweights of all time, but the blacks on here hate them for obvious reasons, and so does they crowd that runs the US media for similar reasons. Not since Babe Ruth ruled over American baseball in the 1920's has any athlete, or athletes, so dominated their sport.

    Not only are boxers bigger and better and stronger today - as in most sports where objective old records are contstantly broken - but they rule over a sport that is far more truly international than it was before when Russians and eastern Europeans and black Africans and Cubans (still only expat's in the last case) were not allowed or able to commpete - and they take on all comers, many previously undefeated, from all over the world, and they have become so great that they do so winning virtually every round, and usually not even getting their hair mussed in the process.

    Bottom line the klitschkos have never beat great fighters, vitali has the highest
    heavyweight ko percentage and look at the caliber of opposition. I mean their
    atg status is undeniable. But calling them the greatest heavyweights of all time?
    your arrogance offends me. In my opinion right now wlad is the best heavy in the
    world but head to head wlad gets destroyed by a lot of people. Yes they've dominated
    an era where there has been a lack of hungry fighters willing to go for broke not
    to mention the absence of a great american heavy. Yes the height obviously is
    important but cmon throw these brothers in the heart of the 70speople 80s 90s
    and they would both be getting bombed out and decisioned by the best of ththe
    diviison as well as some contenders and possibly journeyman. This is coming from
    a klitschko fan

    Time to go back to writing disparaging articles about Jack Johnson, Mr. London.

    How long have you watched boxing, I'm guessing not long, people's judgement on here have nothing to do with race, the forum is about 2% black at most. I'd guess your pick for some reason is based on race, either that or your very new to the sport and a Klitschko fan for other reasons.

    BTW the Klits aren't real doctors, the Uni they got them from basically gives free paper degrees to sporting stars

    Where is your evidence for that assertion? They are not medical doctors, but they have doctorate degrees.

    From Wikipedia:

    Vitali: In 1996, he graduated from the Pereyaslav-Khmelnytsky Pedagogical Institute (Ukraine) and was accepted into the postgraduate study program at [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiev_University"]Kiev University[/ame]. On 29 February 2000, he presented his doctoral thesis on "talent and sponsorship in sports"[39] at the Kiev University of Physical Science and Sports, and his [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_of_Philosophy"]Ph.D.[/ame] in Sports Science was conferred.

    Wladimir: In the summer of 1996, Klitschko finished Pereyaslav-Khmelnitsky Pedagogical Institute (Ukraine) and was accepted in the postgraduate study program of [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiev_University"]Kiev University[/ame]. On 18 January 2001 in a conference hall of Kiev University of physical science and sports, Klitschko presented his doctoral dissertation and was awarded a PhD in [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_Science"]Sports Science[/ame]. Klitschko speaks five languages: [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_language"]Ukrainian[/ame], Russian, [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_language"]Polish[/ame], German and English. At the beginning of his professional career, he began using the German transliteration of his name.\

    " the forum is about 2% black at most"

    I find that hard to believe. Look at the avatars. More importantly, look at the ongoing visceral and irrational hatred for the Klistchkos.

    Yes the avatars are of black boxers or trainers, unlike you many of the white posters here are happy to support black boxers, if you don't believe about 2% of the forum is black goto the picture threads that are stickied and you'll see the majority of the forum is white with a few latinos

    There's no irrational hatred of the Klitschko's only a dislike of their racist fan base, who clearly knows nothing of the history of the sport and only support them because for the first time since the 50s there is a great white heavyweight

    And yes I know for a fact the Klits uni gives a free ride to sports stars, there degrees are largely a joke, that uni has a history of this
