    lol.. As if anyone watches them these days. Very few are crying tears over this move by HBO and that's exactly why they made the move.

    Thats a wacky theory and its good that you're trying but our guy already has a TKO victory over the Klitschkos. I have no reason to feel threatened by the them or hate them.

    However, the fact they're like watching paint dry and never take a risk when they have the potential to, leaves me cold.

    They seem to be liked in a lot of other euro countries but then other euro countries like eating snails, pickled cabbage and wearing lederhosen. There's no accounting for taste is there?

    Jesus Christ how ****ing stupid can you get? I said German fight fans only like the Klits, not that the Kilts are only liked by Germans. Why do I ****ing bother?

    Hmmm, watching a fight with big punches and knockdowns or watching an upright big man pawing jabs at an overmatched little tubby man.

    ..... let me see.:think

    Yup.:happy

    I love the way you had to put "lately" in there. Even you are aware that Arreola doesn't compare to US fighters past!

    No people in the USA arent watching thier fights, so being that HBO is a US based company that has a 98% US veiwership they arent going to put stuff on that no one is watching. Farmy is too stupid to understand that no matter how many times someone explains it to him. He trys to make it appear that everyone is against the KLits, but HBO is for MONEY and if they were getting people to buy HBO then they would be on TV every time. Thats the bottom line

    Typically, a Wladimir Klitschko fight contains the same small group of elements. These are:

    the Jab (approx. 35%)
    the Paw (approx 50%)
    the Extended Left Arm, like a man feeling for a door in the dark (approx. 10%)
    the Right Cross (approx. 5%)
    Other (negligible - usually seen when the opponent is deemed softened up enough to take a risk, i.e. at the point which the opponent is on the verge of being stopped)

    All this is complimented with movement, akin to that of a Kangaroo on dope.

    These elements, although executed much better by Wlad, only vary in degrees of use between each of the brothers. This variance, different names notwithstanding, is one of the few other ways to distinguish between the two.

    Sad but true....Some people would be quick to call you a racist of course because of that comment, but when you turn on sportscenter or talk to the average "joe sixpack" blacks are far more athletic in their eyes. A good example of this stereotype would be "white men cant jump".

    Ah yes, the famous Vitali ko% argument. If you're fooled by that statistic then lets just finish this little spat 'cos you are not going to see sense.
    All i'll ask is that you rewatch those "KOs" and make note of how many opponents actually hit the floor.
    It would be more appropriate to say Vitali has the best TKO%. Lets not make him out to be some kind of huge puncher.

    Now lets go down the "disco"! Lol!:lol:

    You must have a great video collection of Heavyweight bouts preceding the turn of the millennium then. Either that or you're easily amused and impressed.

    I think alot of this resentment against Wlad came from his fight with Ibragimov, that was a glorified sparring match and Wlad's chance to impress but the fight was a big dissapointment.
