Remember when Heavyweight title/championship fights was something big

nobody wants to see "technical boxers" as HW champs that toys with opponents they can easily KO. the HW division is about quick brutal KOs just like the smaller weight classes are about fast paced action. thats why Klitschkos dont get alot of buzz not because theyre russian or whatever the hell they are.

 

You know what if the Bros fought like Mike Tyson, not only would there be even more coverage around the world but they would, without a doubt, be HUGE stars in the North America as well. All this silliness about them not being American is a load of ****. Yes they are very effective fighters, really nice guys, but boring as ****.

Hell if they spiced things up and played out the Drago persona and say they will crush America and after they KO someone say something like; "if he dies he dies!" But right now I cannot even stand seeing them in an interview . . . they come off goofy at best.

 

look at Wlad vs Haye, something like 40,000 people in the stands.

 

this :deal people think they get hated cuz theyre non americans BUT if they were exciting KO artists they would be HUGE in the U.S. America damn near adopted Pacquiao as their own.

 

More like 50,000...........

 

I'm a worldwide fan. Always have been.

 

B-b-b-but, they have like the highest KO percentage in boxing history . . . lol. It must be because they are Eastern European:bart

 

The Klitschko's have no mojo, stiff as ****, too clean cut.

 

Another boo hoo the champs are White thread! Why do they not fight more like this and why do they not simoly do that, then I would like them, YEAH SURE!

In the good OL' 90's all they did was ***** about the division as well. It got more coverage because domestic media/investors made more MONEY by advertising in U.S. based fighters and fights.

Finally; If any of you big talkers had the ability to control fights like the Klitschko's you would not go ape **** and put yourself at risk to please a bunch of arm chair fans who will **** on you in a moments notice.

 

Vitali has never really been dull. That's the post-Steward Wlad you're thinking of.

 

Nothing is being said about this fight because it's a nothing fight........

Chisora has had 15 fights, just 15 and lost 2 of those.................

There is no challenge it will be a one sided beatdown.

Why would Showtime or HBO etc show this kinda fight. Boxnation is about right.

 

This fight between Vitali and Chisora is definitely not getting much if any coverage in the main stream media in Britain. The heavyweight division as a whole has lost a lot of the prestige it once had. It's no longer the marquee division it once was, once being heavyweight champion almost guaranteed you would be the biggest earner and most well known boxer on the planet. That is clearly no longer the case.

I remember secretly staying up as a kid to listen to Tyson/Bruno 1 on the radio. The fight was huge, you could not escape it the whole country was a buzz with the excitement of this fight.

Haye/Wlad was big though it brought in the casual fan to the sport. Though this was mainly due to Haye's promotional antics in the build up to a fight. You can criticise Haye for a lot of things but the man knew how to build up a fight.

 

Klitschkos have had as many as 65,000 fans are ringside!!!!!!! They draw more than American fighters. Vitali has highest KO percentage in heavyweight boxing history!!!!!!! Look at so many for the boring fights of the past...............

 

They're just far too boring. If only one of the great Anglosphere fighters like Kevin Johnson, David Haye or Eddie Chambers could become champion then the public would see exciting fights that they so deserve.

 

Yet Holyfield was Über exciting to you, a man who spoiled and cheated his way to success. The black John Ruiz really.
