Another reason many fans dont like the Klitschkos and the other East Europeans is that for the first time fighters today are actually beating the past. Many fans see now that if not for the Berlin wall boxing history would of been very different.
I don't dislike them at all. It's pathetic fans who post pathetic threads about pathetic non-issues that get on my tits.
:deal i quite like them, they can fight, they seem like nice good guys. i just hate the butthurt delusional fans that just wont shut up and enjoy the sport.
Another day another thread where race is used by desperate Klit fans who are nothing short of an absolute ****ing disgrace.
I only dislike Vitali. Convicted cheater. Also a bad sportsman, a liar and a hypocrite. Wlad is cool. though. Seems nice, is a great sportsman, fought his way to the top when no one believed in him anymore.
I like them! Professional athletes and genuine nice guys who are just currently better than anyone else.
I suspect in Wladimir's case people don't like having a defensive heavweight champion. There's also the others that don't like the idea of new greats coming along and replacing old greats. That's a fair comment, the Klitschko payday does seem to prevent a lot of potentially good top contender fights. But there's also the fact that, with the brothers gone, there will likely be 3 or 4 champions and if 2 or 3 of those are unwilling to unify then the same situation exists
Why do you care, my lad? People like them, and people hate them. It's like that with every great athlete. Mayweather is the most hated individual in boxing today and at the same time he is the most succesful, economically. Who are the most hated boxers today? Mayweather Pacquiao Klitschkos (Yes, both for some reason) And exactly these 4 fighters are the kings of our era.
Joe McKKKenzie already made this thread. It had a lot better poll options than this one and it still sucked.
