Actually Kelly Pavlik is one American fighter who came closest to it, during his Ring Magazine interview about a year ago. But we need alot more especially in the NFL.

Apparently Arreola is upset about Vitali not taking him seriously. HE sure has a serious case of gynocomastia.Edited by: whiteathlete33

This fight is a must see for me. I have Showtime but no HBO. Showtime has alot of good fights and the Super Six will be on Showtime as well. Klitschko is an HBO fighter however. Here is a bulls--t article about Klitschko. This guy obviously knows nothing boxing. http://www.boxingnews24.com/2009/09/arreola-klitschko-vitali-has-never-faced-an-undefeated-fighter-in-his-prime/

Articles like this really pisse me off. Who is Klitschko supposed to fight since he has dominated everyone he has faced. He destroyed Sam Peter who is a very good heavyweight. He dominated Juan Carlos Gomez. Peter didn't win a single round and Gomez maybe one. Even Lennox Lewis wasn't that dominant in his career. Lewis got knocked out by Rahman, fought to a draw with a 37 year old Holyfield and lost to a bum like Oliver Mccall.Edited by: whiteathlete33

I read the article. I expect this fight to be pretty much a walk over for Vitali. Dumb ass predictions from guys like ass clown Lahr make watching it even more enjoyable.

Yes, I remember that fight when they drew quite well. Edited by: The Hock

As far as Lewis' record goes, he actually twice scored unanimous decisions over Holyfield. There was never a draw.
the first was a draw! but most said lawis won!

The only heavyweight champion that will get respect form the media is a black one. Articles like this one make no sense. Let's take a look at some of Vitali's victories. He beat Peter, Gomez, and Danny Williams who was a very good fighter. He absolutely destroyed Kirk Johnson. He also beat Corrie Sanders who was a beast back then. What does he have to do to get respect?

Yes.

The Klitschkos, like Carl Froch, have some Jewish ancestry on their father's side. Their father's mother was Jewish. But they were raised Orthodox Christians.

I noticed Al Bernstein was positive about Carl Froch, like he never has before about a white fighter!

He didn't even bitch about the stoppage in Taylor-Froch.

It's well-known that Froch has some Jewish heritage although he was raised Roman Catholic, but only Ukrainians seem to be aware of the Klitschko's having a Jewish grandparent. If it was more widely known, the sports media would be fair to them.

I have seen some listed already I don't know if they will work though. As for Bernstein I have never noticed any anti-white swipes. Bernstein has always been positive no matter how terrible the fight he is watching. I think he learned that from doing ESPN broadcasts for years. Sometimes he would half laugh while making a comment, beyond that he seems more professional than Kellerman(super fan)or Atlas(know it all) or Papa who thinks he has to give his editorial views while calling a fight.

We will have to see at fight time white is right. The fight starts at 10 pm and I think they are going to show some of the undercards.

Here is what Paul Williams said about the Klitschko Arreola fight. Williams:

"I'm going with my boy Arreola. Arreola by knockout. I think probably in the seventh round Arreola will get him up outta there. He just has to make Klitschko fight. Klitschko is too big to stay on the outside and to try to box with him. Klitschko has got that down pat.

"Arreola's got to take it to him and make him fight, take him out of his comfort zone. Make him fight, and I believe that that's what Arreola's going to do. Arreola's been on the undercard for a good minute now, and now, it's his time to shine.

"My hat is off to Arreola because I know that Arreola's going to do his thing. He's the Nightmare."

If the media types had given the Klitchko brothers their fair due all their fights by now would be pay-per-view.

So at least they've saved me some money.

Watching the Klitschko's is much more exciting than watching a big mouthed midget like Mayweather. Mayweather makes all this money for boring fights.

Looking over Arreola's record I'm not impressed. I've seen him fight and wasn't impressed. If he were white with the same record and skills and getting this title fight the media wouldn't stop laughing.

Unless Klitchko gets injured dealing with Arreola's strengh and awkwardness, this should be a massacre.
