I've often wondered why some people have such a strong like of the Klitschkos. Having seen them fight on many occasions, I cannot understand their popularity. So I've decided, once and for all, to ask the question in a thread.
There good guys, good for the sport, very likable and get the job done. I can see what your saying as terms of their performances but i still enjoy watching them.
Wlad is bland & boring, Vitali is awkward & a proven steroid cheat. The worst posters on ESB are all KKKlit fans, go figure :conf
lets see: 1) they're the Champions 2) they are cultured, intelligent men 3) they organised many charities and give the money they make to good causes 4) they worked hard to make it to where they are today 5) they show respect to every one of thier opponents, even if thier opponents don't show them respect
This I appreciate the dominance in the division as well, I actually hope wlad can make 20+ defences and vitali retires soon not losing more.
Pretty much this. You cant not like them as people even if you dont like the way they box. And i know they are not Fan friendly but they are the best at what they do. What can you do but at least admire their dominance.
they are no 1 and no 2 and they wont fight each other and arent being made to do so for some reason im not aware of! wlad is so skilled but so safety first and doesnt care about putting on a good fight to entertain the fans and bring excitement to the division. both should be beating most of thier poor opposition much quicker and be much more exciting when doing it to be fully respected.
It's fun to hate a dominant champion (think New England Patriots, NY Yankees, LA Lakers). It's also easy to hate on a fighter with a really vocal fan base (think Haye and Peter pre-Klitschko)
