Where would Klitschko be if he was 'nt as tall ? would he still be Heavyweight Champion he would be much easier to hit & would nt be able to protect himself behind that long left jab the way he does ,his chin would be called into question much more IMO due to the fact he would be easier to hit

A lower weight class..............
You might be right. But this is a lot like asking where Ali would be if he wasn't as quick. Or he weren't able to take a punch.
Never know.. and it's WAY too objective. -
Where would Hopkins be if HE wasn't that tall?
Where would Cotto (Tyson) be if they wasn't as strong?
Where would Ali be if he wasn't that fast?
Where would Mosley be if his chin was not as good?
You understand I can go on and on all day about this...
The truth of the matter is, just like natural speed, power, chin, height is a natural advantage... and he learned to use his height to his advantage. Most tall fighters at HW suck!
How many 6'5+ fighters can you name that were successful? (Lewis, Wlad, Vitali and..?)Comment

Wlad POWER is his most important attribute, not his height. Watch the fight between Ibragimov (only 6', although he's listed as 6'2'') and Whitaker (6'8'') or Sultan vs. Briggs. Watch Chagaev vs. Valuev. Watch Mike Tyson KO a lot of taller men. Height is not necessarily such an important advantage!
Wlad easily defeated Austin, a man his own height who had not lost a fight in five years. Wlad also stopped McCline, another tall fighter, while Sam Peter and many others could not. People will try to discredit Wladimir by saying he's only good because he's tall - I say he's successful because he's a skillful fighter with excellent power.Comment
