    Whether they liked Lennox or not they paid to see him fight. The guy made an absolute fortune from boxing not just from the Tyson and Holyfield fights. He fought Tua(overhyped), Grant(super hype), Golota and even the Rachman rematch was hyped up beyond belief.

    The American's wanted Lewis to lose yeah but they don't even care whether someone beats Wlad. HBO dropped Wlad because his fights were painful to watch and therefore bad for ratings. Wlads corner screaming at him to throw some punches didn't go unnoticed either.


    I don't think Larry Holmes and Lewis fought like Tyson and they done alright for themselves. This other guy called Cassius Clay who wasn't that well known didn't fight like Tyson either and got a wee bit known.

    But what annoys people is the fact that Klitschko fans will be gloating over the fact the brothers can beat totally over matched opponents.

    the heavyweight division isnt very exciting. it needs a catalyst. noone wants to see the klits fight cause they are boring as hell.

    Yep that's exactly what I mean... Larry and Ali didn't have to fight spectacular because they were Americans!!! If you saw some of Ali's later fights you can't imagine why the guy was still popular... but he was, and that even won him some of those grab and run scraps.
    And like I mentioned, Lewis had American (sometimes overhyped like Morrison and Grant) opposition that had a chance or actually beat him. Holyfield, Rahman, that "Atomic Bull" guy (forgot his name) and Tyson...
    The Klits have no one close to American decent that can even touch them.
     
  5. if Wlad KO'd Haye in round 3 like a Tyson or a Foreman,HBO would have Klitschko back.

    klits are in a class of there own . there isnt a hw who can beat them but i still wanna see the top guys fight them. i dont think they make a hard enough effort 2 really fight the top guys .accept for haye an that took years, but that was more haye chasing him for a payday and it got personal. if more of these top hws acted like haye we mite get better fights or is it just his mouth. either way these top guys are gunna at least act like they want it an try hard to get a fight wit them. im sure they end negiotations way 2 quick with other top guys. mormeck really is unacceptable its an obvious beatdown even mormeck nows hes going to get wooped and is just going in there 4 a pay day hes probably scared shitless . but if they ever do interviews hes prolly talking confident to sell the fite but deep down he knows hes going to lose .

    the chisora fite isnt that bad i cnt really complain there he did just beat helenius but thats another beatdown im sure there alot of chisora believers . but chisora not going to be able to jump in there like he did wit helenius . hes gunna get clocked flying in there like that i doubt he will ever get in close on him . it will be very similar to arreola vs chisora. n chisora head butts like crazy im sure eventually he gunna run into a ref thats gunna call that **** out . im suprised the ref in the helenis fight didnt take points away from him 4 head butts

    Gloating:thinkUnless a hater comes on and says Chisora KO8 or Moremeck KO1 or some ****, I doubt there will be much gloating.

    I think that if Wlad doesn't get Mormeck outta there before 7, and in dominating fashion, there will be more Haye Wlam rematch threads out there talking how Mormeck exposed Wlad.
    I also think that if Vitali dominates Chisora, there will be more Helenius hate threads than Vitali love threads, although there are several K2 haters that will be addressed.:D

    Klischkos are as boring as hometownboy Ward. But like Ward they keep winning

    I think the Vitali- Arreola fight was more exciting then all of Ward's supersix fights:think

    He also didn't KTFO anyone of importance ;) Defensive fighters tend to have no ko losses while in their perspective prime.

    This.

    Honestly I like Wlad but his fighting style is atrocious to watch. Not even his biggest nuthuggers can deny that he is a horrendous bore.

    Chris Byrd forced Vitali into one of, if not the most embarrassing quit job in heavyweight boxing history. Nothing anyone can say or do will change that.

    A loss is a loss and a win is a win. Ward is unblemished. The Klits are not. and as big as they are getting KTFO like that is a shame. I respect them but look at them as legends.
