    Penalosa brothers are both two division champions. The galaxy brothers but like most brother tandem, one will always be more decorated.

    This is a truly terrible poll.

    I'm genuinely shocked that as many people could vote for the Klitschkos, as they have for the Marquez brothers. Right now, the poll is 53 each.

    I knew that the standards on the general forum were poor, but seriously...anyone who has to think about it for a second is taking the ****.

    Most people think JMMarquez has won 2 of the 3 fights against Pacquiao, the best fighter in the world and a true ATG, who is considered one of the top 50 all-time by most experts. On the other hand, Wlad got knocked out in two rounds against Corrie Sanders. Rafael Marquez dominated a good era for boxing and beat several excellent world champions, whereas Vitali's best win is over Adamek and he lost to the two decent heavyweights he fought.

    Although I don't disagree with your post, you are predictable to a fault.

    So it's predictable that I'm right? You see my name and expect not to disagree?

    Thanks :good

    :lol:I was actually referring to the fact that steam erupts from your ears when you see their name.

    When I joined this site, I was fairly neutral on the brothers. I didn't dislike them, but I will always prefer the more classic boxer/punchers in the Lewis/Bowe vein. However, the amount of vitriol spewed on this site has slowly pushed me into their camp.

    I'm the other way.

    I actually like Wlad, as much as it annoys the Klitschko fans to read that. I don't like Vitali, no, but there are reasons for that, which I think are valid. However, the way they are vastly overrated by their fans pushes me away. If this was an accurate poll, the Klitschkos would have very few votes but because people on here are obsessed with them, a huge 53 people have voted for them? No way.

    The gulf in class between the Marquez and Klitschko brothers is huge. The fact people genuinely think the Klitschkos are better annoys me.

    Fair enough. But seriously. Do these raving fanboys you're always referencing really outnumber the insane number of haters?

    Jack, you're a favorite of mine but there's something you need to realize...

    Rafael got knocked out by 3 absolute nobodies - not even journeymen or dangerous punchers (sanders). He then went on to a mediocre career.

    P.S how is the weight problem mate? I'm not taking the ****, just hope your progress is going well. Most of this forum are ****s but you've always been a top bloke.

    Yes it does. Top boxers in the sport. They beat every current human who boxes regardless of size.

    Both the Klitschko brothers and the Marquez brothers are great fighters, Jack.

    Either is a good choice in the poll. The Gibbons brothers were a great brother combo too, but most people don't know about them.

    You know what's funny though? If Jack sees the Klitschkos in a thread title, he has to click on it...If Klitschko fans see Jack's name in a heavyweight thread, they have to click on it.:rofl This thread was almost dead before Jack posted:rofl:rofl:rofl

    :yep Yes.

    I like Jack, I find him entertaining. Even though I usually disagree with him, I recognize he's good for this forum because he livens up our discussions.

    It's like how someone who is embarrassingly shitfaced livens up a party. Yet everyone pities them.
