    You are like the savior of the K2 haters. Your fellow haters were crying everyday without you, getting owned and bitchslapped left and right by the Klitschko supporters. Since you got banned I can see your anger became greater, you must really have missed the Klitschko threads :lol:
    Anyway welcome back, hater.
    Oh and your WWE hobby sucks! :hi:

    In almost all cases if they fought each others opponents it would be tough to sell. Imagine Wlad-Adamek now? Or Vitali-Chambers? These might be decent fights in terms of legacy but typically when guys lose to the Klitschkos they are damaged goods and don't go on to do much. There are some exceptions, of course. Wlad wanted to fight Arreola but CA ducked. Vitali still wants to fight Haye and it might happen. Interesting fights like Wlad-Solis and Wlad-Chisora could happen but both have done nothing but harm their chances of those fights ever occurring

    Exactly. I imagine both brothers share the same fanbase, so they'd have a hard time recycling the same opponents for each brother and maintaining interest in them. That's the reason we get fights like Mormeck. People would probably sooner pay to see a new challenger, regardless of their ability or age or chances than some guy the other brother already completely dominated.

    If someone puts up a decent show against one brother then fine, put them in with the other. But if an opponent turns up fat, out of shape and solely there for a paycheck why would anyone want to pay to see the other brother fight him. It's a business after all.

    As of yet no one has really put up enough of a show against one brother to make you say 'get him in there with the other one!', so it's all academic as of now.

    Haye may be the only exception, there appears to be some demand from that fight. But a lot of that is to do with other factors, such as money, Haye's mouth and Vitali's age rather than Haye giving Wlad a close fight.

    2 Klitschko victories in 2 weeks is just too much.

    Tough times for a Brittard.

    I thought about that, but decided only to list the guys that they picked between them.

    I'm saying that they pick a guy initially and say "which one of us matches up better with this guy?" Then fight him and claim a victory in the first fight. I'm not talking about recycling guys.
