    I meant that they seem to have continued talking but are not showing the heart that guys in the past did.

    They seem to love Ali & love to talk like he did , but no longer want to fight like he did, vs all the top guys, traveled over seas, did not want all the tangibles to go his way, like I will only fight him if he does this or I get that BS & allways tried to win & not just turn up to get his paycheck.

    I don't think he's being a *****, I think he says the truth. The westerners just can't put out HWs like the Easterners. Chalk this up to whatever you want. Eastern Euros are currently the biggest, baddest dudes in the division. It's not up for debate.

    Shows how much of a boxing fan you really are

    Maybe young black american heavy's are thinking the same thing, Id rather shoot a ball through a hoop than get beat up by some big ukrainian

    How ironic. Dont idolize a true great like Ali or Lewis yet some want to compare Wlad or Vitali to Ali but its okay to idolize the klits? What a joke. Look what a semi retired fat Lewis did with Vitali and Sanders did with Wlad. The only, the ONLY thing that I would give the Klitschko bros credit more than most great HWs of any era is their longetivity. Its a poor excuse to say that they are better because of longetivity bevause the truth is the competition is not special. Nobody will remember anyone that beat 20 bums in title defenses compared to someone that beat 2,3, or more legends.
