Why are fans of 'The Sweet Science' (Floyd/Bhop fans) slow to defend the Klitschkos?

    Floyd and Hop use their superior skills to often overcome a size or strength disadvantage.


    Klit Brothers use the size and reach advantage and actually hide behind it. Their boxing skill is predicated on taking advantage of opponents who are severely overmatched in size.


    I wonder what would happen if one of them face the likes of Lennox Lewis who can come close to matching their height, reach and strength?

  5. Naggers who hate the Klitschko's are just idiots really. Always nagging about something, it never ends really.

    I respect them but I feel that Wlad has the power advantage in just about every fight but all he does is jab-jab-jab-jab-right, repeat. It's repetitive though effective. Doesn't mix his attacks like Hopkins and Floyd do but it works for Wlad so I'm not hatin. I wish he would go for the finish much more especially when his chin looked decent against Peter in the first fight and Haye but I understand that leaves more opportunities to get hit back so I don't blame Wlad. I also get confused when people say both brothers are boring it's like they think they're the same person. I love what Vitali does in there and he's the more versatile attacker. I try to catch one of his fights whenever I can, love what he did to Adamek, Peter, & Arreola. Vitali is fun to watch with his combination of being so skilled yet aggressive as prime versions of Floyd & Hopkins usually were. Say what you want about height but you can't deny the Klits are very skilled though I wonder how they would do if they fought more guys around their size or slightly bigger(Vitali fought his heart out againt Lewis but lost, Lewis was older but still an ATG while still retaining his top status going into that fight). Much respect to all of them, great fighters.

    Didn't read all of the posts but it's because they are white and not from the states. End thread

    A few reasons in no particular order:

    -- They were "around" when HW was decent. For some reason they never crossed the pond.

    -- They met a few HWs on their way out... They lost. Badly.

    -- They constantly get on guys' backs and are NEVER penalized for it.

    -- They constantly hold and are NEVER penalized for it.

    -- They tower over everyone (not their fault).

    -- Guys are forced to stand and trade at distance with these huge men due to or in spite of the previous issues.

    I have ultimate respect for them because they ALWAYS show up in shape, but jab-jab-grab, jab-jab-forearm on back of neck, etc... is a "Science", but it ain't "Sweet" (to look at).

    Why put Floyd and B.hop in the same sentence? B.hop is phony... we see through bull****. Whereas, Floyd produces the goods in the ring.

    Vitali has had a much better career than Floyd Mayweather has.


    Fact.
