Will the people who discredit the Klitschkos do the same to Lomachenko?

    I wonder if the boxing "fans" who constantly discredit and bash the Klitschkos will do the same to Vasyl Lomachenko in the months to come?

    If he beats Salido in his second pro fight, and especially if he goes on to beat other top featherweights during the next year or two, will those same obsessive haters go after him the way they've gone after the Klitschkos?

    Would that reveal what motivates them to discredit these boxers? :yep

    Lomachenko has probably the best amateur record of all time: 396-1. But will the obsessive haters find some way to put a negative "spin" on it?

    I'm a big Klitschko fan and supporter.

    I'm not rooting for Lomachenko to have a great career. I'm not rooting against him, but certainly not for him (OK, maybe this one I am but that's only because it's Salido).

    Some people really don't give the slightest care about race.

    I know it makes no difference to MOST people. But there are a few people who will hate him more the more successful he is.

    If you're fair and objective about him, then that's the way it should be. :good

    I love Lomachenko and think he'll go on to have a great career. He's already willing to fight the top fighters unlike Vittles. Think about this little statistic...in only his second fight Loma will have fought only 5 less top 10 fighters rated by The Ring than Vits did his entire career. This kid will epitomize what a fighter should be without having huge physical advantages in nearly every fight. Here's to Vasyl having a brilliant career! :cheers

    I think people will like Lomochenko more than the Klitschkos as his a featherweight and has the opportunity to keep moving up in weight divisions and always be precieved to be taken on big challenges as he moves up. The Klitschkos have been victims of there own success in a way, there fighting at heavyweight and have dominated the division for 10 years and people believe they aren't being tested because there is such a gulf in class between them and the rest of the division. Most of the times when the heavyweight division has been perceived as weak it usually co-insides with a period of extreme dominance by a certain fighter eg. Holmes, Tyson, even Joe Louis era was considered great

    I hope they'll be fair to him.

    But somehow I think the usual people will resort to making threads to attempt put a negative slant on Lomachenko's success. Mr Pibb, JASPER and the others will soon be calling Vasyl a hype-job and a "cossak robot" and saying everyone he's ever beaten is a bum or a shot fighter.

    Why would they? Lomachenko is not a Klitschko and has nothing to do with them

    Freedom you'd enjoy boxing a lot more if you stopped caring about what other posters thought of your favourite fighters.

    Isn't this what you do to Floyd and many others? Its OK to not like certain fighters, but trying to discredit them when the evidence clearly states differently IS what you're talking about, right?

    Agreed. This can be said of most fanboys though.

    That's exactly what you do, isn't it?

    I have FAR more respect for Floyd than you do for the Klitschkos and "certain" other boxers.

    Man, you're the quintessential liar. Who are these "certain other boxers?" And do you need me to show you the countless posts of me praising Wlad as an ATG? You simply don't like the fact I think Wlad is boring and the era weak. Do you need me to show you how I rank Vits all time h2h? You just don't like the fact I don't worship at his alter and can show just how weak his resume is. Your problem is you need to get out of Mommy's basement, find yourself a job and a girlfriend, and grow a real sac in the real world and stop getting so offended by people who don't agree with you about boxers.

    You always resort to personal attacks on the fans of the boxers you hate, that's why you keep getting banned from here and the 'scene. :yep

    How can you call somebody "the quintessential liar" and IN THE SAME POST claim to make "countless posts praising Wlad"? :-(

    Now I don't obsessively study all your posts like you study mine, but pretty much all I've seen from you is countless posts bashing and discrediting both Klitschkos.

    That's it for me today, JAB. You are able to stay up all night and harass the Klitschko fans, but I don't have any more time for you this evening. I need do a few things then have a good night's sleep, so I can get up early tomorrow morning and go to work.

    Pot calling the kettle black on the banned thing, huh? :yep

    Again, do you want me to link you to dozens off posts of me calling Wlad an all time great? If I do you log off forever. If I don't I'll log off forever. Bet?

    This coming from the guy who stalked my Facebook account, posted pictures of me and looked up my MMA record? That is just rich!! :lol:

    You're job is posting all day on boxing websites? :rofl
