    It was a massive diss from HBO to not air a heavyweight title defense, against a top contender.

    What would it take for the Klitchkos to get the kind of ratings HBO wants?

    A nemesis like Lennox Lewis?

    Talk a lot of crap like FMJ?

    Be More Aggressive, to the point where they risk getting KTFO?

    Be Born American?

    I'd say a performance from WALDO where he fights someone that he could lose against and ends up winning by an early KO. The sort of fight where he takes a chance rather than slowly but surely pick away. A Lewis - Golota type fight. This could happen with Haye which is why a fight between them would be good for the division.

    For VITLAY, well he is already established in my opinion.

    A fight against David Haye, thats the only fight the boxing public want to see.

    Good post. And generally, Wlad should go for the early KO if he sees that his opponent (like Chambers Ibragimov etc.) is not in any way able to hurt him. I think his performance vs Chagaev was much better, in terms of aggression.

    I like Vitali's style. He's kept the same style throughout his career and his fights don't bore me. Wlad, on the other hand, adopted Manny Steward's safe-style that made Lennox so damned boring to watch. Wlad was exciting to watch pre-Steward.

    We need another Golota. That dude brought buckets of excitement to his fights.

    An American passport, or at least plenty of black paint.

    Other than that - they can beat everyone for the next 20 years by KO - and it wont change the bias against them.
