09:40 AM ET 07.23 | In the sport of boxing, there are thousands of sideshows and two real issues: Will Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao ever fight each other, and will the Klitschko brothers ever do the same? The answers, in order, are: probably not, and never. If you are a boxing fan, you hate both conclusions. If you are a human being, you will come to understand the Klitschkos' stance. Younger brother Wladimir articulated it nicely once again over lunch the other day. "Don King once offered us $100 million to fight," he said. "My reaction was, how much is your mother worth?" Wladimir said when he and Vitali used to merely spar, it got bloody and dangerous.

I'm pretty sure Don King had a number ready.

Don King is one of a kind, and that's good thing.

We already know that these two will never fight each other. Doesn't matter what amount of money is thrown at them.

Dear LA Times- please do a follow-up centering around if you think the Beatles will do a reunion tour.. That will be equally as earth-shattering as far as news goes..

They have both proven themselves as individual boxers. Fight each other? For what? They could fight all day long and there would be no "winner". If they never fought again, it wouldn't matter. They're both highly educated men w/degrees in some form physics.

I'd have loved to have seen Don King's face at that moment.

This is the best thread ever. I missed all of the "Removed comments" so the whole second page is Comment#21 through Comment # 40 has been removed.

I propose a "This article has been removed" and we'd all be happier!
