What do you mean is the difference between a 16 year old Klitschko fan boy and yourself? I dont mind your lousy English since it might not be your native language, but what did you ever contribute to a thread apart from insults and short, uniteresting comments without argumentation? Posters like Popkins or Jasper might be arrogant, and posters like Silencer or Bailey might be biased but at least they are able to offer a good read every now and then.
I don't dislike the Klit sisters. It's just that once I paint a wall, I take no pleasure in watching it dry.
This is my take on the Klit Brothers. They are good fighters and would be good in any era, but not champs in any era, but maybe in a few. I dislike the fan base very very much and I also don't really care for Wlad. I respect Vitali a lot and actually enjoy watching him fight. Both of their fights can be boring, but not always because of them. Sometimes they are just that much better than their opponent or the opponent is just trying to survive. Wlad vs Haye was an entertaining fight and Vitali's last 2 fights were pretty good also. But Wlad overall is a pretty boring ass fighter and fights too damn scared when facing opponents he's a lot bigger then.
@ this thread. All fighters have fans that might rub the wrong way. You cannot hate on the Klit bros for doing their job and a great job they do. Any real boxing fan tho should know not to take any fanboys seriously especially once they start comparing to greats like Tyson, Ali, Holmes, Holy, Louis, or Lennox. Its laughable to compare the likes of Briggs, Adamek, or even Hayes to a prime Mercer, Ruddock, Golota, Moorer, Walcott, Patterson,etc just to list acouple that fell to the greats. Mercer and Moorer fought the bros when they were no longer relevant. I don't blame the Klit bros no one should. People should blame the competition. I also blame the media no reason why the Klits can't be super stars in America.
Wrong. Most of the World wide general public don't even know who Wlad is. The heavyweight division has been week at other times, but people were still watching and following heavyweight boxing at those times. This is not now the case. As I said, most people don't even know who Wlad is, but the Haye fight was Wlads time to shine and change all that. Many non boxing fans, for the first time in years, tuned in to watch a heavyweight title fight, but people thought he fight was a joke, utterly terrible and Wlad will be forgotten by these people. Vitali has a name because of his brave (but losing) showing against Lewis. But other than that no one outside of Germany and some Eastern European countries cares about the Kilts, especially Wlad, and World wide they will be forgotten once they retire.
Hit and dont be hit. Your a Floyd tragic so this should be your preferred style. And we all know why you hate their fans. Its obvious just as it is for many of the young American posters.
:-( Boxing fans will all forget about a decade and a half of Heavyweight boxing dominance. Casual fans know 2 or 3 names at a time. Without the massive US media machine behind the bros its little wonder yanks, poms dont know who they are. They get good sales for their product. Enough said.
no because his fans make threads liek Wlad has the best left hook ever, or Wlad would dominate Ali and crap like that. And I like the hit and don't be hit style, but Wlad just looks prettified when he does it. Andy Lee fought very similar to Wlad and I enjoyed the way he was fighting very much yesterday
I don't like that fact that there is no one can that can challenge either of them. No one can even give them a fight.
So what? Floyd fans do the same, pac fans do the same. Everyone who has a fighter they are a massive fan of overrates their ability. it's not like they are posting about some guy rated 500 in the world. Another thing, some people may think he looks petrified, but the guy is beating everyone. He is clearly not afraid to fight. Its a shame that the way a fighter carries himself in the ring carries so much weight with fans. Its almost like a womens fashion magazine or tv show. Bitching about someone cause we dont like their look. No he doesn't drop his hands, bait and make fun of his opponent in the ring. He doesn't get up close to trade a punch for a punch. He just gets the job done. Its just a Euro mentaility. Efficient and effective.
You mean America. You mean American's were watching American champs here. In America Not true, Wlad won over even the English fans and came across as an international superstar, he wooed the English, a real showman, pure show biz. Set a new record for PPV and of course destroyed David Haye with ease practically winning every round. Don't be ******ed.
Previously very big fans of both (Wlad is probably my favourite active HW) But contact with some of the more extreme (I say some of the more extreme, but I can't really think of a Klitschko fan on here who isn't irritating in some way, as most literally seem to be K2 fans, not boxing fans, who think the brothers easily beat everyone from any era - I like the bros a lot but it doesn't mean I have to claim they are perfect) a notable exception to this may be Blake Rayne. This site has lessened my enthusiasm for them if I'm honest
The bros are very good fighters in a shitty era! Its there fans that make them probably the most unpopular heavyweight titleholders since Ali. (yes, the general population hated Ali for converting to Islam and speaking out against the war). That is the only way that they could be compared to the Greatest. Their fans claim that the only reason why they are not regarded higher is because they are white. Then they go one to spew white supremacist BS about Eastern Europeans being the superior race. GODDAMMIT I HATE KLITLICKERS!!!!!!
