Gets no respect from the media but clearly the best boxer around. Classy individual as well. A doctor who is an avid chess player and fluently speaks five languages (doesn't shy away from it, usually address various fans around the world after matches).

The media constantly goes on about how it's a weak generation of boxing but it was none other than Klitschko's older brother who scared Lennox Lewis into retirement.

The Klitschko brothers have said that they'll never fight each other but honestly that's the only way I see them getting any respect from the world media.

Wasn't a fight at all. I was truly pumped for this fight, Haye's trash talking was extraordinary, but he didn't back it up today. Everytime he caught Klitschko, he would back off instead of coming forward and continuing the punches.

And then the fuging flopping. Good fuging god man. I raged changed the channel so many times cuz I was so fed up with it.

After Stewart bitched the ref out, the diving took a nasty turn.

Haye was injured - he was very foolish in not postponing the fight.

As for Klitschko - he's a prime example of why the Heavyweight division sucks. He's boring and bang average. It's a super, super weak generation of heavyweights.

      PFF Best Deep Ball Thrower Award

      This is what I mean. I am not some huge BY fan. I honestly don't look at QBs the way a lot of you guys do. Right or wrong, I've always looked at them as just another cog in the machine. Didn't want BY or even a trade up for a QB in 2023. We saw in the Super Bowl how important the rest of the team is on any given Sunday. Now... so PFF, who has no reason to prop up BY, says he's first in 2 stat lines and Panthers "fans" are arguing why it's either wrong or a made up stat just to make BY look good. Even though they have multiple stat lines where he's literally last in. Like 32nd in the NFL. Some he's even lower than 32. Take a step back. Try to objectively self analyze. This is just not sensible.  Same thing I see with other teams' fans and their QBs though. We analyze every single throw on every single play. For every other QB, most here are only using highlights to judge. Makes a difference. We saw Stafford miss throws when they played Carolina - both games. We saw Love throw crap up when they played Carolina. We saw Dak miss throws when they played Carolina - and Pickens was putting on a SHOW. We saw Josh Allen win a game with 163 yards passing against Carolina, but if BY does it he's crap and can't pass for 200 yards. Gents... come on.

      None of us think we're contenders this season but no reason we're doomed to 5 or 6 wins either. Dan has to have another 2025- like draft class and at least 2 key free agent signings. We're not Seattle but they don't win without 5 starters from their last 2 draft classes and Darnold and Lawrence in free agency.  Alas,  we'll have to wait one more season for a QB upgrade.

      I've got nothing else to say really than: Ayup. Here we are again. Again.  All we can really hope for is progress. If we improve as much again, it'll be good. If we don't, it'll be foretold.
