ElTerrible open your eyes and ears man, in the US guys that NEVER hate on heavyweights have been holding a grudge against both Klitschko's for not apparent reason. As for Chicken Little, he dug his own hole for himself....it's unAmerican to talk shit and not do anything. Talking shit and having an enemy back down is one thing, but to talk shit and never even try to back it up....that's what we call "Bush League"
Bert Sugar, Larry Merchant, and Teddy Atlas have all commented on Klitschko fights in a manner where they blew things completely out of proportion and what sucks is they are all highly respected by some boxing fans but more the average Joe's who just so happen to catch a fight. They'll see a fight and see Bert with his stogie and his fedora and recognize him and think "I can trust that guy's opinion" and then Bert spouts pure hatred and says neither Klitschko deserves to fight again and they are boring and bla blah blah.....it's not good for the sport it's not good for our boxers, it's not good for our fans, and I hate to say it because I like Bert, but it's fucking wrong. People can say all they want about how "The Klitschko's are only good because of their size" that's bullshit, they are good because of their technique, their training, their skills, their athletic ability, AND their size. There have been plenty of BIG heavyweights that have ended up only making big impressions on the canvas eg Primo Carnera whom I might add that bert Sugar said would "Kill Klitschko"....that's outrageous I think even the haters of Wlad would say he easily handles Primo. There IS a bias at least among some of the older generation.
Plenty of Americans like the Klitschko's but a few with microphones in front of them are speaking against them.
