    Both K brothers are robotic, limited fighters with little heart and basically mediocre skills. Certainly not much better than Primo Carnera. Yet they are worshipped here on the forum like future ATGs.

    Tell me EXACTLY what makes Wladimir or his brother - both lumbering robots with zero footwork - any better skill wise than Primo Carnera. Carnera was a circus act, a classic era Valuev who happened to have some box skills. Is there any argument against the fact that the K brothers happen to be tall boxers with mediocre skills?

    Better question: Is there any argument against your hate for the Klitschko brothers?

    Both Klits are better than Carnera, but Vitaly fights in a VERY similar fashion. Primo would be a top contender in todays heavyweight division of heartless slobs who lack shills and stamina.

    Vitali went life and death with an overweight and semi-retired Lewis, turning his face into a splatter movie prop. Can you imagine what a prime conditioned Primo Carnera would have done to Vitali? It would have been a bloodbath.

    The Klits are better fighters. Primo trumps either in guts though. It never entered his mind to quitno matter how much pain he was in or how bad he was getting beat.

    Wlad is a much better fighter than Carnera. I don't think you can say the same about Vitali though.

    Carnera, as poor as he was, was good enough to beat anyone around today bar the Klitschkos.

    Definitely under rated, and his toughness cannot be measured.

    I seem to remember Madballster was a pro Klitschko troll a few months back. Am I wrong?
