    I would say it's more not that they're not American but more down not to being from the Anglosphere.

    Only a dumb yank would deny it. Soccer is the biggest sport on the planet by far.

    I'm not even a fan of David Beckham you moron.

    They did. When the Klitschkos were in their 20s, they were much more aggressive like Tyson was in his 20s. They STILL have higher KO ratios than Tyson, who didn't always win easy KOs.

    Watch their earlier fights:

    But now they are older. Vitali simply can't put the hard punches together like he did when he was young, while Wlad is much more patient than he was in his 20s.

    Seriously?! Give it up Joe, that is one argument you will never ever win:-(.

    The bros had 110-120 fights between them and that is the best that could be mustered up:lol:. For some reason I thought you were old enough to remember Tyson in his prime :bart

    Not all KO's are created equal. Vitali was exceptional and a very interesting fighter in his prime IMO. His mentality and chin are on a whole different plane than his little brother's. Vitali is a fighter. It's a pity he doesnt have a true legacy, mostly due to the four-year layoff and Lewis ducking the rematch he initially stated he was up for.

    Tyson's KO rate dropped because he went on far too long and was there only to collect a check. The last time a truly interested Tyson entered the ring was Holyfield II and it's apparent by his physical condition. One has to be realistic regarding the shelf life of a short, swarming heavyweight. Through 46 fights (the same as Vitali), he had the same number of KOs as I count McNeeley an inevitable fate.

    You're right, accounting is a bit more exciting I suppose, particularly during tax season.

    Lol at the tags. You lost all credibility to whatever nonsense you chose to type up simply by using these tags
