Jameel McCline and Michael Grant were large. Why didn't they dominate? Because they weren't nearly as good as the Klitschko's. But they both would probably beat Primo Carnera.
The brothers are considerably more skilled than you give them credit for.
Jameel McCline = obese
Michael Grant = glass jaw and no desire
The K brothers have dominated the division for years. Carnera wasn't even a champion for a year. There is no comparison in their skills either. But I'll happily just agree to disagree on this.
Watch Carnera fight a tomato can then watch Vitali do the same (not hard, ALL of his opponents outside of Lewis and Byrd have been tomato cans).

Vitaly and Carnera have very similar styles. And while I think Carnera gets underrated and the Klits overrated, both brothers are better and more proven fighters.
the wladimir round you showed in said videos is perhaps the worst round of boxing i've ever seen
i refuse to even comment on it, lest i boot all over my keyboard.
but vitali was looking pretty good in that video dude, considering all things (And also considering how much [or little] of a monster you can look against an aging sam peter.)
he was picking peter off with hard punches that moved him around, and hardly getting touched. he's got a tremendous feel for the center of the ring and his opponent's range.
in full definition the fight looks exactly the same, with peter taking a licking from a very good ring general
it was his first fight in four years as well.
he had been in the gym (and he and his brother live very clean and fit lives,) but he was unable to make it through an entire training camp for four years.
he had a lot of miles on his legs given his kickboxing background, athletic background in his youth, and tenure as a massive boxer going through the rigors of training regularly as an adult
he was all but retired before that fight.
