    Ok I am a brit also and would like to see David Haye knockout both and Unify the titles (I think).

    But after years of watching Wlad and Vitali in and out of the ring various interviews etc.. I dont really have a bad word to say about them and I am finding (even with dodging allegations aside) it harder to root for Haye in this/these fights should they ever happen.

    Im not the kind of person who gets put of by the brashness of a floyd mayweather ...James Toneys one of my faves to watch in and out of the ring. I just dont see anything in the klitschos not to like.

    The handle themselves like gentlemen, come across very polite and are both clever guys. keep themselves in tip top shape and fight to their strengths

    I guess my question is this ....your take on the klitschos? british boxing fans.

    They're a credit to the sport in and out of the ring.

    The style might not be the most pleasing on the eye and they seem to get an insane amount of **** for the heavyweight division being **** but its not their fault. I like them. Havent really got anything bad to say about them. Wlad makes me laugh infact, he has quite a good dry sense of humour.

    i quite like vitali, quite entertaining to watch (compared to his brother at least), he comes across quite down to earth when interviewed, he knows the sport well and fair play for being able to speak 4 different languages.

    im not keen on vlads style in the ring, very boring to watch now. havent really seen much of him out of the ring or interviewed apart from having some fit tiny blonde bird as a girlfriend.

    I like what they portray as people. I find them like a mouthfull of melatonin to watch.

    I like both guys in and out of the ring, I used to want Haye to beat them but if he ever grows a pair and decides to fight one of them I'll be rooting for whatever brother he's up against.

    Outside the ring I can't really fault them.

    They seem OK out of the ring, maybe a bit too squeaky clean for me.

    Inside the ring they're as boring as Derrick Gainer

    Vitali is a grade A ****. Drugs cheat. Average (at best) fighter who has somehow managed to make people believe he's a H2H monster despite his best performance coming in a KO loss and quitting against a cruiserweight that can't punch.

    Wlad is a bit boring, both in and outside the ring, but is a far better person and fighter than his brother. Can't knock the bloke really.

    Hopefully he gets his hands on Haye at some stage :yep

    One mistake as an amateur 14 years ago doesnt really alter my opinion to be honest.

    My opinion on both: If they were American they'd be the richest athletes in history by a long, long way.

    The klitsckos do nothing for boxing. they don't put any young fighters on there undercards, there fights are boring and put fans off the sport.

    They're nice guys (Wlad more so than Vitali), but they are damaging the long-term prospects of boxing in Germany.

    Two stand-up guys :deal

    Thats apologist claptrap if you don't mind me saying....once a cheat always a cheat. Anyone caught trying to gain advantage through drugs use should be banned for life, without exception.
