When a contender faced one of the brothers, he usually does not get to fight the other. Odlanier Solis, Kevin Johnson and Chris Byrd, among others, proved that Vitali has a great deal of problems with boxers that are quick and can move well. Eddie Chambers and Tony Thompson would be very well capable of upsetting the older bro. The Klitschkos TOGETHER are kind of cleaning out the divison. Each one of them only faces around 50% of the risks but demands 100% of the glory. It's BS. Another problem is the double standards of their fans: Wladimir was inexperienced when he fought Puritty. So was Solis (at the pro level), Arreola, Chisora (didn't happen). Sanders landed a lucky shot. The reality is that Corrie simply exposed Wlad's glass jaw. Brewster and his team drugged Wladimir. Wlad had a panic attack. Chisora should be happy Wlad injured his abs as it saved him a beating. Yeah, right. Byrd was lucky Vitali injured his shoulder. But when an opponent has a knee injury, it's all of a sudden not legit. Lewis was lucky he got the win. Vitali looked like he was in a drive-by-shooting.
Coming across as a bit haterish, but I would like to see some of the klits opponents fight the other one, I think arreola could give wlad hell and Thompson would be a tricky proposition for vitali. Not saying they would win but good fights
I respect the success they have had but I really dislike their styles. They have had some of the most boring fights I have ever seen.
How did Vitali have problems with Byrd when he lost 2 rounds out of 9. Chambers is not as good as prime Chris Byrd anyways. Arreola giving Wladimir problems? He would get knocked out quicker.
In red: Insignificant. All top-name fighters have dumb**** fans. I can think of no exceptions and certainly can't see how it's a problem with the fighters themselves. Now for Vitali's "problems" with quick boxers. Kevin Johnson losing all of the rounds over the distance gave Vitali problems? Solis, who fought one competitive round of a one-round fight proved something? Gomez won the first round against Vitali too. Byrd was what, proof that fast boxers are problematic to Vitali's shoulder? What the hell are you talking about? Now this two-headed champ business. It has got to die. Arreola, Solis, Kevin Johnson...is there any reason at all that Wladimir should fight these guys? Did any one of them prove to be top five heavyweights? No. Arreola's best win leading into the Vitali fight was bringing a fat old McCline (a guy Wlad lopsidedly smashed years previous) out of recent retirement on short notice and stopping him. Then he lost BADLY to Vitali. Had he beat Adamek, fine, maybe he would deserve a shot at Wladimir. But he lost to Adamek and hasn't beaten another top guy since. Not even close. "Contender" one down. Has no leg to stand on to get a Wlad fight. Kevin Johnson did not beat one top heavyweight name prior to his shot against Vitali. He lost that fight in shameful and lopsided fashion. Since, he has beaten two nobodies. Is he really a "contender" that deserves a shot at Wladimir? Was he part of "cleaning out the division"? No. He was never proven significant to begin with! He wasn't clutter in the attic of the house that needed cleaned out, man. Second contender you mentioned down. Solis? A bit ****ing early to say he won't get a chance against Wlad, don't you think. Also a bit early to say he needs to even be paid attention to, I think. His "big win" that he got a title shot from was struggling with a crusty old version of a guy Wladimir EASILY smashed years ago in the second round with one hand and now he'll be out for probably at least six months with an injury. Another true contender down. Absolutely no reason to mention any of these guys for your stated argument. In short, the Klitschkos are in different careers. Wladimir is the champion, Vitali, like Haye is a titlist. He's not co-ruling anything. They can probably both spell "overrated" though.
You honestly think Chisora wouldn't have been battered by Wlad? And Vitali's shoulder injury wasn't caused by Byrd knocking him down. Way to go noob.
imo wlad faces every one, vitali too. but vitali looks bad fighting slick and fast fighters, but how you would define bad, winning all rounds and ko everyone???
That one was as was the Sanders fight & thats about it imo. Let me re-phrase then. 95% of their fights are dull boring & almost unwatchable.
Wlad beta of the brothers rite now defo, solis only did one rnd wit vital but tbh he did impress me don't fink vitali landed jus hitn gloves n getn counted if it had continued we mite of had a new champ tha nite! Haye has a chance to take them both out jus wit his speed movement n his power.
Maybe Heavyweight boxing is just not for you? Stick with the lower weight classes, better overall competition and usually more punch output.
I generally do:good TBF there are heavyweights currently fighting who I do enjoy watching. I'm not a crazy hater but I'm not a fan of either brother, just my personal taste. I respect what they have achieved but find them incredibly dull.
