Its gonna be a sad day when the klit brothers retire

Get lennox Lewis away with those names along Tyson, Ali and you are propably right.

Lennox Lewis wasnt any better Fighter Than the Klitschkos or better known as a Great Person/sportman only boxing fans knew him and appreciated Lennox. It will be just like With Klitschkos.

Only times when Guy Like Lennox got in the headlines in country like Finland when he fought Tyson/Holyfield. Otherwise His Whole Boxing career/Hw-Reign is just a Blank file.

Sorry.

 

Pretty much, they forget that Lewis had many of the exact same criticism when he was fighting, that he was too boring, cautious, held too much and didnt go for the kill when he had the power..... but now he gets a ton of love on here.

Overall, a lot of people were talking **** on vitali when he retired but when he came back I think in general most people are happy he came back.

 

People like to see garbage competitiveness from crap sub-par overweight fighters. When the klits retire, who will be in good shape that offers a decent fight? Adamek? Haye?lol. Povetkin? No one else brings anything to the table that is championship material. :verysad

It'll be years before we see any decent fighters come up in heavy.

 

Haters gonna replace the Klits...

Its a sad day everyday on ESB.

 

Heavyweight will certainly be a very very sad thing to watch, when it happends! But atleast we get to see Wlad take care of Haye first!

 

When they are gone, we will probably see another round robin belt situation, as we had when Ruiz, Byrd, Rahman and Brewster were all passing titles around so often.

 

Lewis had/has less personality than drying pain. Vitali has showed some sense of humour even with his extremely limited English (watch his Solis video). And some good physical humour (Solis, Gomez and other fights) as well.

 

The Brothers are terrific fighters, but any situation when the two best fighters in any given weight class wont fight each other ever is bad for the sport.

 

:happy:happy:happy

 

I really hate how the Klits get such hate from everyone.

They are the best in the division and its not their fault the rest of the division is weak.

I dont think the division will become any better when they leave, we will just have to make do with what we have got and so the weaker opponents will shine more.

But looking at the division without the Klits with the past HWs its generally a weak division full of short, overweight fighters.

 

yeh, a competitive division can only be a bad thing...

 

This, glass hearts and glass jaws will not be missed.

 

I like the Klitschkos and think their stock goes up over time just like most heavyweights have done. They would have been champions or top contenders in probably any era. Having said that, I think the division would be much more competitive and enjoyable if they weren't in it.

There are two problems that having two Klitschkos dominate presents. First, they can be, epecially Wlad, boring to watch at times. Wlad doesn't like to mix it up and is content to do his work with that jab of his. Its a dominating jab and a very effective strategy but not always fun to watch.

The second and biggest problem with having both Klitschkos on top is that they prevent a lot of good fights from happening. They are big money fights and once a fighter is in position to fight one they take it easy until they get their shot. Adamek and Haye are prime examples of that. Both are good fighters and have proven they will fight tough fights but are basically sitting on their shots.

Without the Klitschkos, fighters would have to face other top fighters to make good money. Guys like Haye, Adamek, Povetkin, Chambers, Arreola, Solis, etc would be facing each other instead of simply angling for a Klitschko fight. Those guys facing each other would give us a lot of good competitive fights instead of the occasional, one-sided, sometimes boring Klitschko fight. The biggest problem with the heavyweight division isn't talent, there are some good fighters out there, the problem is the best aren't fighting the best often enough and when the Klits are gone that could happen.
