The Klitschkos should be huge over here....household names.

I'll preface my statement by mentioning that I haven't kept up with boxing for about 10 years, but I recall the Klitschko's being typical heartless European fighters who tend to fold in the face of adversity. I remember the Byrd, Lewis, Brewster, and Sanders fights. Along with other heartless or overrated Europeans in Andrew Golota, Herbie Hide and Frank Bruno, I don't think the American public is very interested in a division that's dominated by Europeans. The heavyweight division must be pure dreck if the Klitschkos are the dominant fighters.


Wow, looking at the Ring's ratings for the first time in 10 plus years, boxing in general has really changed.
