    No, you got a few letters wrong, it should be "Are the Klitschkos RULING Heavyweight Boxing?". And the answer is yes.

    No, they are the only Heavies most people want to see, if they weren't around who would give a **** for fat unskilled heavies like Sam Peter?

    agree with the 2 poster above me :good klitscko's are really the only known heavyweights today. It's the weak era of heavyweights that are ruining the division not the klitscko's:good

    I actually like watching Vitali fight, but Wlad is boring because he is too afraid to make mistakes.

    and no 1 actually read the article i don't think

    How can the Klitschkos ruin heavyweight boxing? That would imply it hasn't been ruined for the past few years already.

    yes and no...they are the only two hw that people want to see (agree w/ above post). its not their fault that their competition is so horrible. on the other hand, the fact that the two top heavies will not fight eachother kinda sucks the life out of the division. no one is really good enough to beat them, they are 1 and 2 in the division, but wont fight eachother. we all talk about wanting the best to fight the best...well...here they are and they wont fight.

    (i understand not wanting to fight your brother...but to quote hyman roth: this is the business we have chosen.)

    Can't believe I'm praying for an Irish gypsy (Fury) and a fat Mexican (Areola) to save Heavyweight boxing.

    The division BADLY needs new, exciting blood to cheer for...

    of course they are.
    just think how exciting the division would be with gomez as wbc champ. arreola as IBF champ and WBA has 2 champs somehow with valueuv and chagaev and povetkin taking the wbo belt
    ummm yeah, the klits are the only ones that matter right now...they are the definition of professional fighters.....are the most exciting...no, but they are the most dominant and effective... YES
