    height has nothing to do with being the same size...

      So whats the problem then my friend...I'm not trying to give you a hard time or be an ******* to you man...I just dont get why people are making a big deal out of nothing...If you can make the weight whats the problem??...Being tall always doesnt give you the advantage....Look at Tyson...He was short as hell to be fighting in the heavyweight division but that didnt stop him or discourage him from KO out bigger heavyweights. So all of this talk about Williams is to tall for the WW division is bull**** and thats a cop out excuse!

        He will get embarrased when/if he moves up
        What an assinine comment. In boxing, there are no advantages when weighing in at the same weight. In boxing, you are either more experienced or not. And even more experience is not a major advantage. What we perceive to be physical advantages, is a perception. Duran, qawi, and a host of little guys who were at a physical disadvantage have won, and become great. You're just mad because Wlad has physical advantages over just about everyone he fights, and he has been ko'd 3 times in his prime, and fights like a cheating, holding, wrestler with a jab. Go to the library, and take out a book called Boxing 101. It's a start for you.

          Williams is tall but he's not skinny ether, whats why is freakish.

          Tyson was 5'11 yes but he was almost 220 lbs in his Prime, wide as a truck with a 20 inch neck. On top of that he was a freak himself owning heavyweights much larger than him.

            How many times are you going to repeat this??? You are just hiding behind this screen name so you can be perceived as being caucasian. You are probably a Margs fan hiding behind Sergei so you can say, "If Williams fights a bigger caucasian fighter, he will get ko'd". You are probably an ALT. Joartcc, truth666, etc...

                  Thats the point...Height doesnt have anything to do with it! Thats what I've been trying to get at for the longest!

                    he's just saying it would look weird as hell, and in all honesty,when people see the size difference, they won't give williams any credit for beating a "SMALLER" man.
