    Kllitschkos and Khan.

    Back in the days, Trinidad and Tyson. I mean I actually remember people saying that Trinidad was more talented than Roy Jones.

    I am inclined to say Calzaghe. Some Klitschko fans goes over the edge as well, but at least with Wlad there can be made a case about greatness. Calzaghes resume is just so much thinner.

    there cant be many Zaghes fans who would honestly call him at ATG, tbh. Nearly all of them are fully aware he's a HOFer,not an ATG.

    Whereas the Klithuggers on here seem to be intent on proving he could beat Ali and Louis on the same night lol. Either that or they get free access to the internet on those Ukranian psychiatric wards.

    Lately I've seen a lot of people banging on about this Roy "Suges" Lennards guy being able to beat my man Floyd Mayweather.
    Ain't gonna happen bitches:nono
    I've checked the ratings and this bitchass ain't even in the top 10.:huh
    And everyone knows there's only one man who's sweet as sugar.:bart
    My man Shane Mosley needs to sue this mama****er.:bart
    Guy ain't even rated yet people say he can beat my man.:patsch

    The Klitschko fans are on a roll most of the time, yeah :lol:

    But dominating at heavyweight for such a long time is a big deal in the history of boxing, and there is much about Wlad you could hype up if you like to (KO'ratio, number of wins, record against unbeaten opponents and so on). Saying that Joe is better than prime Jones (I've seen such posts) seems like more of a stretch.

    :yep :deal

    Basically just say the fans of ANY fighter you hate. Fact of the matter is, the most overzealous fans will always grab more attention then the sensible ones, and have their fans rated based on the select few.

    Jones is straight ATG compared to Cal's HOFer, totally.

    Or to put it another way, Cal could NEVER do what Jones did (going up through the weights and dominating, something Joe Cal got floored by fortysomethings attempting), but Roy Jones could EASILY have done a Calzaghe if he had stayed at SMW for 10 years (aside from whupping his own shot ass of course).

    Sorry for doubting you :oops: I have no idea how I got the idea you would try and hate on Klitschko fans.

    Pacquiao:

    His skills, technique, form and style is glass.He is unconventional and awkward.But he is not overrated in warriorness what he lacks in skills and technique he makes up for with his tenacity and never gives up to the end.

    I think Mayweather Pacquiao fans and Klitschko fans can only be unrealistic and over the top because so many dicks make hate threads

    i mean this is a little bit of a chicken and egg scenario because did the fan boys over hype or did the haters just hate first

    its only natural to say over the top ridiculous things about your fave fighters when every day there are like 20 or 30 topics bashing your guys saying hes the biggest coward ever or the biggest ducker or whatever etc
