If the Klitschkos were American, would they get more praise/respect?

[CGM]

I don't think it would have much effect on their popularity.

yeah, the American angle in this thread is overplayed. After all, I see they get plenty of diss from Brits as well. I hate them too, and I'm Canadian, and we all know that if Canadians started dissing boxers cause they weren't Canadian, then we'd have to turn our backs on the sport entirely.

We could talk about which nation is most likely to play up their boxers beyond their ability. That'd be fun.
