With the same style hs has now? Not a chance, his style now capatalises off his height. If he were to jab the way he does at his current height it would be easier for fighters to counter over the top with a right hand because he's so jab relient they can't do it now because he's so big.Wlad is smaller than many heavyweights, such as Michael Grant, Julius Long, Tye Fields, Nicolay Valuev, etc.
Lennox Lewis had a reach of 84" compared to Wlad's 81". Wlad is listed at 6'6 1/2" but is actually under 6'6", about the same height as Lewis.
Many of Wlad's opponents outweighed him: Wolfgramm, Thompson, Austin, Jefferson, McCline, Pannell, etc.
Many of his opponents had a reach advantage over him: Rahman, Thompson, Jefferson, McCline, etc.
Enzo Maccarinelli is a bum, but Wlad would do very well if he was three or four inches shorter.Comment

haye is much quicker than wlad. wlad is not fast.Neither is true, people like Toney for his grit and toughness and some "old school" skills, but when the guy cant beat Toney fought the last time, you know he is shot to **** and his skills are eroded.
As for Haye, when did you last see him put up a three left hook combo while moving away and then finish it with a cross so fast they actually had to show it in slow motion? Never.
Haye's speed is something like Hopkins's power, half true-half myth-- he is explosive, as he can meet you with a cross when you come in, but he ain't fast on his feet and he cant put up a combo without looking like an amateur.Comment
