    People don't like Floyd because he's arrogant, never fights the big fights and fights ultimately to protect his 0.

    People don't like Wlad because he's European, he's hard to beat and instead of dominating everyone, he beats them up at a methodical pace before knocking them out.

    People don't like Vitali because... **** knows why, anyone who has his mix of chin, power and willingness to knock guys out has to be loved in my view.

    Normal people love Vitali. That four year layoff really hurt his marketability.

    In my view, Wladimir is one of the most charming, universally appealing fighters out except for the fact that he has the wrong accent and he generally uses his boxing skills rather than physical abilities to knock guys out.

    He's one of those guys who will be loved more when he's gone in my view. Also the best thing to happen for him would be the retirement of his brother so he can go and unify all the titles before his own retirement.

    The brothers are a credit to boxing, all class and bring respect and intelligence to the sport. It''s not their fault no one is up to their level.

    VITLAY has no class whatsoever, he's a nasty piece of work, a bully and a ****.

    Luckily Lennox was around to show him that height means **** all, and so does a **** poor kick boxing record. Owned :yep

    Last time that I checked, Mayweather was doing pretty huge PPV sales. That's besides the fact that he doesn't even come close to knocking people out at the rate that the Klitschko brothers do.

    Also Tyson is more fair in his evaluation and respect ofr other HW fighters than are most of his fans.

    No way man. I like Vitali. I dont think the klits are half as boring as their comp. I blame their comp not them.
