Klitschko haters: explain something to me please

[El Kabong]

I also think (and this may be a bit of a stretch) that people blame the Klitschko's for the state of the division because they dominate so easily that no one in the division wants to fight them.

And for both the fans and the fighters alike that is very frustrating. I mean who wants to be the 3rd best heavyweight of this era?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

No they sell the story that other boxers don't want to fight them, it's morons that buy it that are the problem.

Maybe if they weren't putting rediculous stipulations into contracts.....

Sorry, but it was always obvious to me that a contender should agree to fight for a world belt for a pot of potatos, even with a few weeks notice. That is of course if he himself believes he is good enough to win. If I'm not mistaken Vitali did just that.

I agree. If you are the challenger then yeah. But then that's easy to say when you ain't fighting for a living. You might be happy to go to work and not get paid for doing your job but I wouldn't be.

Secondly, What if you want to fight the klits and you bring a legit world title, not to mention a huge following (which means revenue) to the table. Do you still deserve to get screwed over in negotiations then?

thirdly, by your reckoning the klits should happily get paid fuck all to fight for haye's title.

See the flaws. They're pretty obvious.

If El Pollo Explosivo ever has the stones to fight Wlad you and the rest of the boxing world will see THE Heavyweight Champion of the world vs England's Got Talent Champion Shit Talker.

You can have fans and still be worthless in this sport and I consider anyone that's still harping on how they beat Enzo Maccarinelli and how that equates to their success as a heavyweight worthless. But by all means, don't believe me, wait and see for yourself.


#1 As with everyone else (bar maybe Rahman because of his fights with Lewis and Williams with his fight vs Tyson) the Klitschko's give their challengers the highest pay days of their careers and the same will be true with Chicken Little whenever he gets rid of that yellow streak that runs down his injured back.

#2 Yeah we'll have to see if that ever happens, because the way I see it Ruslan Chagaev was never beaten and his title never should have been taken from him (thank you Don King and the WBA for expiditing that so that a DKP/Sauerland fighter could get the title back). Wladimir fought Ruslan, Wladimir stopped Ruslan, ergo the physical belt may belong to Chicken Little but the title of Heavyweight Champion of the World belongs to Wladimir.

#3 When El Pollo Explosivo sells more than 20,000 seats (which he's never done) he MAY have a right to ask for 70-30.


But hell, all this is erroneous anyway we all know he's fighting a rematch vs Valuev next, that's what Don King will want.

So Povetkin punked out because of a contract?

[0james0]

I just don't want to like them. I appreciate what they've done and I know they are brilliant. Their build, physique, perfection at their fight style. As a boxing fan I admire it.

But for me they are baddies, the evil robots from East Europe. For that I blame Rocky.

And some of their fights are fucking boring! I'm sorry, but they've had more than their share. All boxers have them, styles make fights, but the Klitchkos style and opponents who just plod like turkeys into some hammers to the face increase the chances of a slow fight, dull fight.

I want to see an opponent with real speed in there, even someone much smaller but mega fast. Vitali has cracks now I recon, he's on the verge I can feel it.

I've got nothing against the klits really. It's not their fault that they've boxed in the worst decade of heavyweight boxing in it's history.
