I'm a huge klitciko fan and it's clear that their size helps a lot.

Adamek says size not the reason Vitali is unbeatable

Size matters!
That's why Julius Long the tallest boxer at 7'2" and who has the longest reach at 90" is the heavyweight champion!
Wait...

Got to agree with you here, plus the Klitchkos have developed the sort of style where they can use their height advantage to the best way possible. No doubt they have boxing skill and power and whatnot, but their defensive footwork, constantly keeping out of range is a massive advantage for them.....
I really wish there was a superheavyweight devision. I find it insane that theres such a big deal made about the weight difference's in the lower weghts when its just a few pounds over or under, but when it comes to heavyweights the difference in weight is pretty much unlimited which just makes for some ridicolous match ups.

vitali is a great fighter wladamir not so much but any who doesn't think that vitali is a great boxer needs to really open their eyes and stop hating. yes vitali is tall but there are alot of tall boxers that are not succesful so why is vitali?someone said that their arsenal is limited but i think you may be referring to wladamir because vitali seems to be versatile and throws an array of punches not just a jab and a straight right
