Could the Klitschkos have happened in England?

Lennox Lewis Canadian debates aside, if the Klits had relocated to England instead of Germany would you have supported them?

I'll take that as a 'not bothered' then.

I care not where they're from.

One's clinch-tastic & the other's a confirmed drug cheat. Though I kinda used to have a soft spot for Wlad back when he didn't fight so scared. He was reasonably entertaining back then. But I have no time for him once he became cuddly.

N.B: Kindly use the search engine of your choice to find out who wasn't allowed to go to the Olympics & why, please, before asking the obvious.

Yes he is. And it does indeed get kicked under the Axminster. His body shape from his kickboxing days has changed markedly.

Sorry, I've just read my post back & realised it sounds prickly. Didn't mean to come across like that, am on phone to the fvcking electric company.

"Press one to be patronised by a recorded message..." etc etc

Good luck with that! I'd rather go 12 rounds with Wlad (not Vit)

To answer the opening question, I think the british public and media would have been sceptical of them, until the moment each boxer achieved a "razor Ruddock" style victory. At which point they'd be embraced as loveable cockney lads who are british to the core.
