Why do especially Brits dislike the Klitschko brothers?

at sweeping generalizations

in which case, you'd probably agree that we just wanted to see joe eaten while you chappies just wanted to see joe fed :good

judge each person's opinion individually, dont cut off objectivity by fuelling the bogus 'us' and 'them' argument - its chidish

 

Do we? I'm British and i like both the Klitschko's, why do Brits get so much stick on this site?

 

americans are anglophobic, you just have to watch their tv shows to see this, practically every bad guy is a 'brit'

 

its never about nationality for me,its always down to an individual's posts.
thats how it should be for every poster,but you'll find people like arran cant escape pettiness - he needs a girlfriend

 

Yep. The British fans I speak too unanimously have respect for them. There may be a couple of idiots on forums, but given that the OP fits into that bracket that may be why the OP notices them.

 

I am German and my favorite fighters are (were) Benn and Eubank. I do not think that patriotism wins over sympathy for a foreign fighter if one think he is all class. If I know a fighter of my home country and do not know or like the fighter he is fighting against, then I can be very patriotic. That really depends on the opponent and the information I have about him.

 

I like Wlad a lot, he's a great fighter and a real nice guy. I don't like Vitali much though. A lot of casual fans over here do dislike both of the Klitschko's though.

 

Not sayin all Brits do but all the Brits Ive come across do.

 

Little story.

Walking down my main road and it's the day of the Wlad Haye fight and some men scream go David Haye from a passing car while some English Men reply, '**** off, Wlad will knock him out'

I think quite a few Brits didn't like Haye's antics especially because Wlad presented himself as a Gentlemen. It seems Americans love trash talking much more

dont try to put this on Americans. it's mainly you brits that butthurt about the klits. americans could care less.

 

Yeah I like both of them. A lot of their fans on here are dicks though.

 

butthurt? i dont know a single person who dislikes the klits in the uk, not one! ive never heard anyone once say it! where as you inbred redneck americans hate on them all the time, calling them boring, and robotic while crying into your big mac that arreola is the best HW you have,

 

I am English and I support the Klitschko's.

I am a fan of them as fighters, and I follow fighters regardless of nationality.

 

So much fail in this thread its untrue. Shows how ignorant half of this forum is.
