My Irrational Hate for the Klitschko Bos.

[Rantcatrat]

This is the way i look at it, if we didn't have the Klitschko brothers. Imagine how bad the Heavyweight division would look now ?

It would look bad, but strangely also more competitive. Haye v. Johnson and Arreola v. Povetkin are competitive fights.

Competitive is the key word.

Competitive is the key word.

Its no real different than when my boy Larry Holmes was fighting. Even though Larry Holmes is probably my favorite fighter, and he did fight in far more exciting fights and had better competition, aswell as being a more exciting fighter.

Alot of his fights wern't that competitive either, exactly the same with Lennox Lewis. Although both did prove they could stand in there and fight when they needed to, Wladimir Klitschko has never shown me that. And even Vitali Klitschko at times is a bit too cautious.

I doubt i'll ever be a fan of either guy, but again i can't blame them. They do what they have to do against the opposition there given, although i think at times especially Wladimir Klitschko, they could finish fights more spectacular to get people talking.

boring...one dimensional...not prepared to take risks...extremely bland


Everything that heavyweight boxing has never really had. Cant help but think its both that they are just both too good and well skilled to bother having an entertaining fight.

Only time vitali has been in a watchable contest was against lennox and thats only because he was in with a world class fighter

Id very much like to see haye send both of these into retirement!!

No it wasn't LOL but i think i did word that wrong, what im basically saying is that even though Larry Holmes did have better opposition. And was more exciting, he like the Klitschko brothers struggled to find opposition especially in the 80's.

And thats why he got so much hate, even though he couldn't help it. He got alot of stick for fighting bums, not being exciting. Not being like Muhammad Ali ETC.

Although in recent years like Lennox Lewis he's got more appeciated. Maybe that will happen for the Klitschko brothers if they continue to reign without losing.

This Klitschko hate is obviously thinly veiled racism. Fact.

I can definitely agree with you to an extent.
As you've said with regards to the likes of Holmes & Lewis: You can only beat what is on front of you.

The point I make is that, while Lewis & Holmes were both the 'man' in their respective eras, this era is yet to have a definitive Champion. Which is a frustrating scenario when you consider the potential of a mega fight akin to as any Mega-a-fight as you care to mention along with clearly defining a division.
