There should be a height limit for heavyweights

[tills9191]

I just saw the Wlad /sultan weigh in, as well as Wlad training with manny.
The guy is damn HUGE!
I never thought he would be this big...
and as far as im concerned,it is just way too big for a fighter to be fighting with other heavyweights!
it puts other smaller HW's at a huge disadvantage..
The thing is , the bigger you are, the less skill you can afford to have.valuev -being a classic example.
Size these days, really compensates for your lack of skill.
Not saying he Wlad is not skillful, but its pathetic to see a giant like him fighting much smaller fighters.
I dont give any fighter who is that big, credit for beating up on much smaller guys.
It 's a damn circus.
the guy is absolutely massive.
i give him absolutely no credit for beating other fighters..
wlad, vitali, lewis, michael grant, tony tucker,tyrell biggs,kevin mcbride,mitch green,these guys are way too big...mcbride im sure would have had trouble if he was the same size as Tyson.
I think there should be a height limit, of maybe 6'3, 6'4 max.
I dont see what's so skillful about a huge guy with a longer reach, looking down on somebody else and beating him up..

Here Just for you..

Here Just for you..

height means also a lot more weight...don't forget that...
its not a level playing field.
height, reach, and weight disadvantage.

size can also be a handicap which is obviously why there havent been many giant heavyweights to succeed. harder on stamina,,,balance and such

Then the answer is the short fat guys, need to trim some meat of the bone and go down to a lower divison, not compromise the HW division by putting height restrictions in! Never heard anything like it.

[Addition]

Height isn't everything, it may have some advantages but it also has disadvantages.

Nikolai Valuev for example, obviously very tall but slow as hell.

Valuev came so close to breaking Rocky Marciano's unbeaten record for **** sake..
Can that be really justified??

I have never seen such a ****** thread ever!! You think big guys should not be allowed to box?? I bet you are a small midget yourself!!
Seriously, size allone dont win you fights. Valuev lost to chagaev whos only 185cm, and he also got gift decisions against Donald and Ruiz.
I just thing this is a bull**** thread!! If the guys are to small for heavyweight they should lose weight and fight at cruiser. But guys like Byrd or Chambers are natural cruisers but fight at heavyweight and especially Byrd had some verry good wins even though hes so small, so size means nothing.
