Williams was a tune up bout for who? Exactly, Vitali Klitschko. It was clear that the winner of Tyson-Williams had to face Vitali. Vitali himself said he was very dissapointed he could not face Mike and instead fought Williams and completely destroyed him.
Exactly. No other fans on ESB do this; they don't drag down the legacies of other ATG fighters just to boost up their guy. You're right, Lewis is the only one who gets a pass; had he retired immediately after the Tyson fight I could only imagine how many times McCall & Rahman examples would be used in every Lewis thread. But he stopped Vitaly so there is an obligation to prop his name up. "Blind Racial Hate" is your crutch; it's what you use when you can't come up with anything else. What is even sadder is that even Klitschko fans who don't overrate the the Klitschko brothers are considered "haters."
Maybe, but you've got to admit some of these people are absolutely relentless with their trolling on here. If you're not part of that group, then don't take offense. I dont hate the Klitschkos, much less for their race ? :rofl -- I actually like Vitali.
Looks like Mike finally resolved his anger and hate issues. I say that sets a good example for all resident Klitschko haters here.
course they're untested... I remember how a shitload of pl. here, brittards and not only, considered Haye to be a big test that Wlad would fail to pass. I remember the same thing being said about S.Peter before his 1st fights with Wlad and Vitali. Apparently passing your tests with flying colors = untested. Maybe Joe Louis was also untested, since, in essence he also dominated his era and almost effortlessly beat the **** out of his best opponents.
Perfectly said ...effortlessly K2 bros beat the fk out of their opponents so they are said to be untested thumbsup
Mikes just being nice, he hasnt got a bad word to say about any one these days, i wouldnt take a lot of what he says so seriously though although its very true he has a great boxing iq and is or at least was a historian of the sport. He is right to praise the brothers, as I think everyone should. But theres being nice, and being too nice. This thread to me seems like another bait thread just looking to start the whole Brittard/race thing. Which is pretty pathetic and ruined the whole posting of a positive interview about the brothers,
With what Iron Mike has been through in his life I don't think he gives a rat's axe about what anyone thinks of him or what he says.
What I was trying to say was that a guy like Holyfield fought down to his opponents level, could be drawn into a brawl and did not one punch ko power. If the K2 bros were not around all the other guys would fight each other in good competive bouts which would rise all their stocks together. Lewis was not concidered great at the time and seince he retired the is in the top five HW's. Bowe was skillful etc... but was copping a pasting from a poor mans K2 bros , but his great showing vs Holyfield means that he would have distroyed both of the bros and wins most of the H2H bouts he is in, why in the **** did he struggle bigtime with Golota if he is good enough to wipe the floor with Wlad?
:good Haye was supposed to be Wlad's kryptonite. Now it's a **** win even according to Brittards which hyped him up like maniacs for years.
