In most boxing sites, I see that people really seem to hate the Klitschkos because of their boring styles. I always thought it was weird, cause I really loved their recent fights against Sam Peters and Shannon Briggs. IDK if it's just me but I find their style awesome and I love watching them beat the crap out of their opponents over time. Any body else think they don't get enough credit? State reasons too.
I think they are somewhat, especially Vitali who H2H courses some good people a lot of problems. Wlad is physically more gifted then big bro, but he's had to learn how to behave like a fighter, as Teddy Atlas would say. It's the level of competition that makes them victims of their circumstances though. You need other greats to elevate you.
Me. I find they are underrated on pound for pound lists. I know they make their competition look weak, but isn't that what great heavyweights do? (ie. Dempsey, Holmes, Tyson, and arguably almost every other top 20 heavy) The unlimited weight class should be valued more than any other particular class.
Yes they are underated by many now but before its all said and done they will be apreciated . They are big men unusually strong , big punchers, under estimated speed , and great fundamentals and athletisism
The difference is with fighters like tyson they made their competition look weak by beating the crap out of them or koing them. Remember boxing is and entertainment sport, no one wants to see a mismatch where the better fighter won't get the guy out of there. No one is complaining about pacs mismatches because he still gives the fans what they want.
Imo they are the best...why...because they are fighting the best...the best its crappy,well that its what they are giving...people will always say something like,well they havent fought haye or they havent fought solis or any stupid name...wait till they fight tarver...all that is dumb...they are champions,that it is weak,well that its not their fault.period.
Very underrated. At some point Vitali was appreciated and loved, now it's just the same junk over and over people say about them and it won't end even if they beat Haye and whoever else out there. Very sad to see as a Klitschko fan, these guys come in top shape all the time and still get insulted for it.
They make their opponents look bad because they really are bad, C'mon, an old Shannon Briggs just isn't very good. On top of that they refuse to fight each other, and never really settled the whole WBA mess (Haye, Valuev). That being said, they are the 2 best HWs today.
