    Remember the days of fights like Holyfield v Tyson ?


    Now all we get is the boring Klitchcos who only box in germany where no one can win a decision and we have David haye who avoids any real competition

    I would be mildly interested in any of the Klitches v Haye but its nothing like the heavyweight fights of the past

    Even Tyson v McBride or Danny Williams would outdo almost every PPV they show at the pub nowadays.

    Alot of boxing fans enjoy the sweet science,But nothing beats a talented but brutal fighter,and if he's in the heavyweight division,what a bonus seeing two big boys go toe to toe is what i really enjoy about the sport!

    I actually agree with this. Both Vitali and Wlad at their best would give any heavyweight of any era nightmares. They would win some and lose some. Wlad Klitschko should be classed as P4P top 5 imo.

    I actually don't mind the Klitschko's, it's not their fault the h/w division is so **** poor at the moment. They can only fight and beat what's available at the present time.

    No I meant Wlad should be top 5 P4P currently. The bloke probably hasn't even lost a single round in about 5 years. Where do you currently see him P4P Josey ?

    I have no argument there Francis Top 5 currently i can see , my biggest problem with the brothers is their style paw paw ,paw paw they wait an entire age to throw the bomb i know heavyweight is the division where caution should be a must but **** they bore the **** out of me that's why i can't wait to see Haye in there with Wlad ( maybe he will bring out the best in him ) they will fight this year defo imo , the sheer amount of money involved and the serious lack of any other creditable opponent suggests it has to .

    The guys that say Wlad is no good are stuck in the golden days of boxing or dont know **** :deal Wlad has taken on the best available

    Wlad has beaten the following....

    1. Chris Byrd 31-1 at the time who was also the WBO champ ...Chris beat Vitali 6 months beforehand by stoppage....try to argue this win haters :lol: Chris went on to beat Tua, Holyfield and Golatta :deal

    2. Sam Peter 24 - 0 at the time who has won a world title and has good wins over James Toney and Olex Maskeuv

    3. Chris Byrd 39 - 2 again another great win

    4. Calvin Brock 29-0 at the time who had just beat Timour Ibramov who was 21-0 at the time

    5. Lemon Bruster 33-3 at the time...avenged his loss of a few years ago like every great fighter should :deal

    6. Saltan Ibromov 23-0 at the time...Ibromov had just beaten a prime Holyfield, Briggs, Austin and Whiticker...again this guy was the best available

    7. Tony Thompson 31 -1 at the time...still rated # 1 in the USA and # 6 in the World today

    8. Ruslan Chagaev 25 -0 again the best at the time...who has wins over undefeated Vicerous and Droumond and further Valuev, Meehan, Ruiz, Sprott, Calloway

    9. Eddie Chambers who had wins over undefeated Dimentreko then Brock and Peter

    10. Sam Peter 34-4 ( 3 lost against the Klits) what a demolition

    I dont know how people can say Wlad is not one on the best HW in the last 20 years (save Tyson and Lewis) and he needs to be in the top 5 P4P :deal

    PS: Cant be

    Just gotta pull you up on 1 thing there ash, you said Ibragimov just beat a prime Holyfield ? Don't think Holy's prime was 2007.

    they r winning far too easily to be entertaining, but they HAVE to be considered amongst the best in history.

    being tall and having a good reach is not the reason they r winning. there have been a million tall boxers in the past. it helps but it is no different then saying tyson mostly won because he had huge power.

    i have no idea how the klit brothers would have gone against other greats from other eras. but i would hate to have to back against them. they r both very exceptional boxers.

    The Klitches pawing style is infuriating

    If they are so good, they should destroy their opposition in 1-2 rounds
