Why do you dislike the Klitschkos?

No, you didn't list them all.

- They are well educated.

- They have surpassed more beloved HWs in length of dominance and maybe resume.

- They are slick but not Black.

- One was caught cheating.

- They won't fight each other.

- It's been too long since they lost.

- V retired Lennox Lewis.

 

I dont dislike the Klitschkos but they derailed David Haye at Heavyweight and pisses me off.

If David Haye had an acctual real World Class boxing trainer and wasnt injured who knows what coulda happend.

 

The poll was not titled, why people do not like you.

 

I dislike Vitali for being a steroid riddled cheat and Wlad for being a glass jawed joke

 

:rofl theyre very obedient

 

I don't dislike the Klitschkos. I think the answer is that they are too dominant. Because of their presence, it's prevents great heavyweight fights. Fighters are scared to fight other fights in fear of losing out on a big payday. Imagine Haye Vs Arreola? etc. These fights won't happen as long as they are around

 

Our ugly ass women always in the Top 10 of any major beauty pageant.

If that surprises you, you should request OSDT.

:yep

 

Because of their obssesive fans such as yourself discrediting every past heavyweights accomplishments only to make the Klitchko's look the best.

Someone is feeling little bit insecure about themselves. You've made this about race when in fact it isn't. If Andrew Golota had his head on straight he would have been a much bigger draw.

Look you don't have to be American or British to have fans in America nor do you have to be black. After all Ricky Hatton is a big name in America because he fights with a killer instinct; he has an aggressive style. So does Manny Pacquiao for that matter. Excitement in the ring matters. I'm sure you've seen the Lewis Klitschko fight in it's entirety; who was Los Angeles crowd cheering for at the end of the fight? Were they all Russians in the Staples Center? Vitaly fought a good fight and looked like a promising candidate and people were looking at the future of the division.

He could have captivated the American market but he retired before he could build from any of that momentum. Meanwhile you had fans trolling each forum calling him the greatest fighter alive or an ATG Champion despite losing to Lewis and never even unifying the titles. On top of that his resume lacked both a signature win or the kind of depth needed to even put him in the top 25. So fans who rightly corrected the fanboys when assessing Vitaly's career are looked upon as haters when they are simply calling spade a spade.

The reality is that between 2002-2004 Vitaly Klitschko's resume was no better than that of John Ruiz or Chris Byrd but somehow Vitaly is a top 10 ATG fighter? His comeback is great and he's proven his ability but the division is shallow right now and when objective fans point that out overzealous K2 fans try to pretend that Chris Arreola is like Mike Tyson or the faded Sam Peter is like George Foreman. Vitaly unfortunately will never be a top 10 ATG Heavyweight and he has his voluntary layoff and his brother to thank for that. As for Vitaly himself? He fights more aggressively than his brother and I tend to think if his overzealous fans didn't overrate him so much he'd probably get a warmer reception. Also if he fought out of America more often and built his profile to the point where he's a household name in America then people would respond subconsciously to that a bit more. After all, Vitaly's first fight back was on HBO despite the fact that his brother who was a more accomplished champion was getting cold shoulder from HBO.

Wladimir on the other hand was being touted as the the next great champion but by the time he was being introduced as mainstream fighter he looked like a bill of goods; losses to Sanders, Brewster and shaky performances against Williamson before finally getting his act together in the Peter fight where he looked pretty vulnerable made people spite him especially in the boxing forums. Many thought he was simply overrated. Once he started to prove himself by consistently beating everyone that was put in front of him the challenge was no longer his ability rather it was his lack of excitement. Yeah he's winning but he looks so uninspiring in the process that it's hard to care. Emmanuel Stewart even showed his frustration in the Ibragimov fight at MSG when he was unable to stop Sultan.

Watching Wladimir Klitshcko fight is like watching your neighbor take his brand new Porsche out for a spin; it's great at first but when he refuses to go over the speed limit even when there's an open road it becomes an incredibly frustrating affair. For a man of his size with his athleticism and punching power he fights without a killer instinct so his dominant performances are met with criticism instead of praise. It won't affect his greatness but it will affect his fanfare.

I'm not sure how long you've been watching boxing but Lennox Lewis dealt with the same thing that Wladimir is dealing with right now for the majority of his career. The difference is Lewis beating Holyfield and Tyson helped significantly and also unlike Wlad; for every "Tua-like" performance he would occasionally give us a "Golota-like" or "Grant-like" win.

Actually you haven't. You've listed all the reasons why you think people hate them (assuming posters actually do) but you're conflating 'hate' and 'criticism' and obviously cannot see the difference.

Some of the obsessive Klitschko fans on this forum and many other forums tend to overrate the K brothers in just about every thread. It's not so much they simply overrate them but they aggrandize their accomplishments while using an American ATG Champion or a British ATG Champion as collateral damage in the process. Obsessive Klitschko fans show a complete lack of respect for the great fighters of yesteryear and they do so because they are constantly looking for any advantage that can help their arguments as to why K2 is the best thing since sliced bread.

So 'I hate the Klitschko's because I want to **** off their overzealous fans' should have been an option. And as mentioned before; 'because they are boring fighters' should have been another.

 

The number 1 reason people hate the Klitschkos.....

The white man has again stolen from the black man. This time it's 2 white men, and they have stolen 2 things that are inherently black...

1. The hit while not getting hit style (The slick style)

2. Boxing's heavyweight division (aided by the black man's decision to play pro football and basketball)

nut

 

That's true of any race, genius.
