    Most of the flack they catch is due to the weak era in which they fight.

    As much as it pains me to admit it, they'd give any heavyweight in any era a run for their money. I don't want to talk about P4P skills, either. Since this is the heavyweight division, size DOES matter and they are very good at imposing their size.

    I'll still root against them 99% of the time, but by no means are they mediocre fighters.

    I guess i'm coming around. Kind of.

    They're both fine fighters.

    Anyone who doesn't acknowledge this is deluded.

    I would say imposing your size is a skill.

    they're both tremendously overrated.

    it's a good thing they didn't fight back when tyson and holyfield were in their primes or else the two brothers would've had their chins and hearts further exposed.

    But almost every single fighter that didn't end up fighting Tyson or Holyfield is lucky to have missed them. They were incredible fighters.

    maybe, or maybe not. fair to think, not sure who's overrating them though.
    I think prime Tyson takes out everyone...

    props to threadstarter :D

    it's a testament to how bad the heavyweight division is right now.

    the klitschko brothers aren't that good. vitali is slow and sluggish while wlad is boring and doesn't take a punch at all.

    i think haye's the man to expose the klitschkos.
