klitschko popularity...

hmmm... my guess is African decent?

 

I like both K-Bros. Both guys train hard, always show up in shape, and fight very well. They are good examples of how to win a fight beyond the "go out and knock the crap out of the guy" mentality which became dominant in the Tyson era. I think much of the hate towards them is basic reverse discrimination. Not just because they are white, but because they are Eastern European. For too many years, American boxers dominated and claimed "World Championships" without ever facing the "world". The only time they did was in the Olympic games and the typical results were loses to Soviet Block fighters. Yet over and over again Americans claimed superiority in the sport. When the iron curtain fell and these guys emerged, it caught America, Black America, and the rest of the world by complete surprise. But those trainers who were in the game knew what was coming. They knew about these fighters from the East and they knew just how good they were. Notice, that for the exception of Teddy Atlas, the older American Boxing Trainers have nothing but the utmost respect for Soviet trained fighters.

 

wrong idiot.

 

Wrong? So tell us, where so Jamaicans come from?

 

i dont get the whole vitali thing

he gained respect in america for lewis

then fought johnson sanders and williams all in the us and was the crowd favorite

then ever since his comeback america turned their back on him

and his 4 yr layoff win over peter was amazing and his fight with arreola was exciting

i dont get why anybody says vitali is boring

high out put goes for the kill

hits hard

 

Well, if you're folowing that logic then you're also African . . . we ALL come from Africa.
