No Larry, if the Klitschkos were American they would be as hated as Yuri Foreman

    Shannon Briggs, Larry Holmes, Chris Byrd, John Ruiz, and Hasim Rahman would like to have a word with you.

    Imagine if RJJ, Mayweather, Leonard or any of the great American fighters were British?, the attention and appreciation would be INSANE. These people know how to appreciate their athletes, same goes for Mexico and ANY other country.

    Look how appreciated Eubank, Bruno, Benn and many others are. These guys don't come close to RJJ's class yet they're supported like they're far better than RJJ, Ali and Tyson COMBINED.

    Henry Cooper got the prestigious "Sir" title just for dropping Ali, ENOUGH SAID.

    Was that not the very same Emmanuel Steward who said that?

    EDIT: My bad, it was Steward but I believe he meant Wlad, which obviously was way before he started to train him.
