The great "People hate the Klits because they aren't americans" myth

Because they aren't black. They could be Somalian rebels who fight like David Haye and Americans would love them

 

My own fascination with the Klitschkos steamed from the Wlads gory KO's and the brutal beatings Vitali dished out. When Haye could to twelve with an enraged Wlad, Chisora spit Wlad in the face and got away with it, and Vitali was unable to bust Chisora up I kind of lost my interest in the whole affair.

 

Why is it then that so many claim Wlad is inferior to most greats of the past, yet they want him to take out EVERYONE within 2-3 rounds? And if he did so, then the same haters would scream "Opponent's a bum! Steroid! Worst HW division ever!" Haters gonna hate anyway....

The Anti-Klitschko movement started in the US, still brainwashed by Rocky IV and the cold war there were not one but two Ex-Soviets same as Ivan Drago trying to take the belts that great Americans of the past possessed. This does not fit into the picture of the Amercans, slick and black that's how they should have been, at least they being slick! ( I don't say it is wrong)
Expectations were high, they of course had to fight like a Drago!!! No pain, when the opponent dies, he dies. Americans who saw them as future HW champs got laughed at from fellow countrymen when they actually lost, especially when Vitali gave up in the Byrd fight. So even these ppl started to dislike them.
When ppl over there saw that they can lose, and they were also humans with flaws (like every past great), then they suddenly were bums without chin and heart.
Although both Klitschkos would have loved to fight mostly in the US, they didn't get the acceptance that they wished to get. So they stayed in Germany... of course it would have been different if they had been Americans. But they get a lot of credit today by Americans so things are changing now.

 

they deserve credit for their longevity
