The American boxing press is still claiming that the Klitschkos can't beat anyone, they can't fight at all. The American boxing media has been a problem that is so unfair................Teddy Atlas said that Kirk Johnson would knock Vitali Klitschko out with one punch, so Vitali knocked Johnson out in the second round, live on HBO. The fight was sold out at Madison Square Garden, NY, NY USA during a huge snowstorm!!!!!!! Vitali Klitschko Vs. Chris Arreola was HBO's top ranked fight of that year...............147 countries showed Golovkin Vs. Adama, America being the only country to boycott that fight..........shows how biased they are..................
Unfortunately it is true. Klitschkos have had 65,000 fans at ringside for their fights, they sell out...........
It's the most powerful country in the world and it just can't accept the fact that it doesn't have the most powerful men in the world. I mean PBF and Ward, pound for pound 1 and 2....ha. Don't forget it had Broner in the top end pound for pound listings aswell:rofl
Too true, I first noticed the american bias when Kostya Tszyu was kicking ass and he conitnually made Kellerman, Atlas, Pappa etc look like fool's, picking against him. Atlas still hold's the chip on his shoulder, going by his classless reaction when Tszyu was elevated to the HOF same year as Tyson and Chavez. Pretty sure it was the ring magazine, when Tszyu 'iced' Zab Judah, it was at least in the top 2 biggest fights that month and it hid the result way back in the last few pages of the edition! Gave it like a quarter of a page write up, as if it was some club fight in Alabama or something...:rofl. If you want any kind of respect as a fighter in the States then you have to go fight there. Lot's of risk's, Lomachenko-Salido as just one example but it's the only option. Then if the foreigner doe's well in the states over a number of fight's, eventually he get's some respect. To be honest, I don't like to say this but it's got a lot to do with the lack of decent 'white' fighters in the USA. 'If our guys can't fight, then the rest of the worlds cant', etc. For most in the U.S. if you're not black, then you can't box/fight. It's as pity there's so much delusion there, however it will eventually fade away through the inevitable domination of the fighter's coming from areas in and around Russia. One of the most unbiased boxing historians in the US is actually Mike Tyson.
Fu.ck you guys are some whiny bitches. If Kov fought in Canada like let's say Bute he would be making tenfold. It's all about marketability kids, if you didn't notice it, the Great Afro-Cuban boxer ain't making ****.
America is perhaps the most biased against boxers of any country in the world. Klitschkos tried to fight a lot in America, but Vlad was drugged for his trouble. Then when Vlad hired Judd to investigate, the American boxing media played it down, lying, appeared to be covering up all the things that happened. A punch does not make a boxer's blood sugar go sky high, which is the reason doctors were concerned that Vlad would go into a diabetic coma.......two sets of missing urine samples/blood samples which was illegal........not to mention the betting odd changes, an ongoing FBI investigation into fight fixing at the time, bribing a judge, etc., it's all there in the Judd letter. Vlad wanted to know what was wrong with him, what caused him to pass out, and it was not a punch by any means. Vlad was totally superior to Brewster, finally getting the rematch he stopped Brewster easily, no contest.......(there were also missing ID's, video of someone in Vlad's dressing room, missing water bottle, etc., the boxing media should have supported the investigation instead of trying to stop it. There are some drugs that will cause your blood sugar to rise. Vlad has never been a diabetic, not then and not now..............Steward had been threatened for training Vlad, called a traitor!
Most american sports fans are cuckholds, showing a white man actually win is like pepper spray in the eyeballs to them.
I can remember when Tszyu got beat by Hatton, the US media was so happy, even though Hatton is a brit! I'm positive one of the US boxing mags even had the headline 'Our Boy Hatton' on it's cover! The Brit's are pretty much the only foreigners the US boxing scribes have ever had 'soft spots' for. Maybe because for such a long time it didn't feel threatened by fighters from the UK. Different story now though as the Brit's seem to have improved over the last decade plus beginning with Lewis.
