I think it is great that a former American ATG should show respect to the E.European fighters-esp the Klitschko's- Remember, the Soviets had a ban on boxing and weren't around in his and Ali's day. Mike knows that. Don't know about Ali. Boxing would have been different and American boxers wouldn't have been so cocky.
List of Americans who were destroyed by the Klitschkos: Chris Byrd Eddie Chambers Chris Arreola Sam Peter (American citizen) Shannon Briggs Lamon Brewster Hasim Rahman Ray Mercer Jameel McCline Tony Thompson Monte Barrett Calvin Brock Larry Donald Kevin Johnson Ray Austin DaVarryl Williamson Derrick Jefferson Vaughn Bean Ross Purrity Charles Shufford Phil Jackson Orlin Norris
In a way, that's the right attitude to have if America is ever going to get back on top of HW-boxing. No whining and complaining, face facts and get your guys back in the gym.
Nice job there by McCline, I'd like to see him more doing commentary then trying to make a comeback. He needs to stay out of the ring.

I'm not a Klit fan but I get all the hate. RJJ & Calzaghe made a career of fighting has beens, nobodies & never weres, & they get all the love. The Klits are doing the same thing. The double standards astound me!
