    So you reckon about 16 odd million people know the Klitschko's in the states. Impressive stuff for overseas fighters. Most Countries don't even have a population that size. When you add in that only around 1.5 million Americans actually watch their biggest star Floyd Mayweather it makes it even more impressive.

    - Envy
    - jealously
    - old timer nostalgia and overzealousness about it
    - racially/nationalistically motivated bias and hatred

    Those are the only opponents the Kbros will never defeat
     

  3. Ya but also Lewis,Byrd,Pele Reid, Purrity,Sanders, Brewster.

    Hated?

    I think you'll find the real issue is that very few mainstream sports fans in America even know who they are.

    They'll be begging Wlad and Vitali to come back and clean out the division stuffed with carton 'champs' and paper 'contenders'. It will will be a freak circus and promoters paradise at the same time. :lol:

    Yeah for sure. It's ironic actually.... Johnson wasn't popular for being black, but if the Klitschkos were BLACK and AMERICAN they'd be huge here today.

    Vitali Klitschko is the best HW of this era, Lewis had to cut him with multiple illegal punches and then hold on for dear life. Lewis was slumping in his corner after the 6th round and was completely out of breath. Lewis fought a disgusting fight, holding and hitting, butting, cutting, wrestling...... He knew Vitali is better. Vitali is a fighter who gets better with age, he was relatively inexperienced when he fought Lewis and took the fight on 2 weeks notice and multiple back surgeries. Lewis on the otherhand was coming off a big win over a corpse Tyson. Ya'll can say what you want but Klitschkos > Lewis, and Lewis knows it that's why he ran like a little B!tch from a rematch.

    BAM!

    Lol lemme know when the klit brothers get thrown in jail for no reason at all. They get hated for the same reason manny, tyson, floyd, calslappy and others get hated, dillusional fanboys ruin it for them. They watch one fighter religiously, or in this case two, never watch anybody else and claim they are the goat. For those that complain about the hate what about the hate yall do to lewis? Its the exact same thing but to a different fighter so it gets overlooked

    HBO has said they will show either Klitschko against a few of the American contenders and Povetkin. They will be on HBO again.
