Educate me on the Klitchko Brothers. What Hall of Famers have they beat?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

Alot of hate about the klits....

Not their fault they have a horrible division or that they make it look easy, THEY HAVE BEATEN DOWN EVERYONE

PLEASE NAME THE FIGHTER THEY HAVE DODGED IN THE PAST DECADE THAT WOULD BEAT THEM....

HAYE
Chagev
Sultan
Peter
Brock
Byrd
Arreola
Thompson
etc, etc


Just name the guys that they have dodged.... PLEASE TELL ME ONE GUY THAT WOULD BEAT THEM

[Weebler I]

He is a strange one. David really gets on my nerves due to all BS he did over the years...

Then looking at his cruiseweight career (although admittedly I don't follow that division that much, he did some things only few, if any, did before him). He was a HW champion too...
I just don't know. I still think he could end up in HOF, but as for now I might agree with you that he didn't do enough... maybe cruiseweight HOF...

I also don't understand why is he so popular in UK. At one time he was more popular than Froch is now.

Don't get it twisted, he's still more popular than Froch is now. It's getting closer but more people know Haye than Froch.

Haye has the gift of the gab, he goes on television shows and he was a british heavyweight champion of the world. People know him and many of them like him (I can understand that, because I used to too before I realised what a fraud he is).

"Would" doesn't mean anything, fantasy fights count for nothing. It is within their power to have all those names on their record but instead they fluff it up with Pianetas etc.

Only heavyweight worth his salt who is willing to fight anyone is Dereck Chisora.

[dan_cov]

Its an unfair question since they're still active and you have to wait 5 years before being inducted.
They also have been so dominant they have potentially stopped fighters from getting in the HOF.


Did Sonny Liston ever beat a HOFer? Floyd Patterson? Umph.

What do you mean "would"
They have beaten everyone.... There is not one person they havent beaten, povetkin has dodged them for years...

they fought chisora and beat him........

People act like they just beat bums but thats all that is left... Chagev and Sultan were champs, got beat down, Peter and Aerrelo were suppose to be the next exciting heavys and got beat, Haye was the mega fight and got beat, Brock was suppose to be the next american superstar and got beatdown, Chambers and adamek are cagey veterans got beat down... Thompson smoked Price but got beat down twice... Chisora is a rugged heavy and got beat....
Klits have owned the division, taken on all comers, and yes have fought some bums, but thats all that is left.. they have already beaten all the top contenders...

Again, they are separate fighters. We don't say Dereck Chisora has beaten Nikolai Valuev just because David Haye beat him.

Wladimir Klitschko has not fought Dereck Chisora, he pulled out of the bout twice. Vitali Klitschko has not fought David Haye, the perception is that he is continuing to avoid him.

They don't get fantasy victories for what the other did.

[prinzemanspopa]

Why do people still group Wladimir and Vitali together as if they were one?

[Sugar Adam Ali]

I understand the point that they are two different fighters-yes thats a fair
But by being brothers and not fighting each other greatly affects their resume...

Nobody would have wanted to see haye-vitali after wlad owned him, same thing with adamek, aerreola, chambers, etc
Nobody wants to see a guy who just lost to one brother, fight the other brother, Peter had his chance at both and came up short....
Not their fault they are brothers and wont fight each other.. They are both clearly the best 2 heavys of this era, and by a huge margin....

Biggest fight at heavy is Klit vs Klit.....
It would be like if frazier and ali were brothers or bowe and holyfield..

They own the divisions and i dont see anybody beating Wlad or Vitali

and still more people will put froch in hof than haye..
it's slightly strange taking into account the accomplishemnts of both fighters. I would think that froch is much bigger star but it seems it's haye and by some margin while being quite inactive compared to carl.

It's all about promotion and the casual fan.

Even beyond Haye the Olympic fighters in the UK get a massive head-start in terms of popularity and support, the very fact we're still hearing (and watching) Audley Harrison is testament to that.

Froch had poor promotion and no Olympic leg-up, he literally had to fight his way to the top which is why he sometimes sounds bitter.
