    Michael Grant: is size important?

    Some say the Klitschkos are really no good, it's just their size that keeps them winning.

    How would they fare against Michael Grant? 6'7", reach 86", and arm length 30"

    He's taller then Wladimir and has a much longer reach than both Klitschkos.

    I see Grant is currently ranked #15 by both the WBO and IBF. How would he fare against the Klitschkos?

    Grant got no chin and would get hammered by either of the K bros inside 4 rds.

      He would be KTFO within 4 by Vitali and 6 by Wlad.

      There is no other outcome unless one of the Klitscko's trips on the way to the ring and hits their head on a randomly placed samurai sword.

        Not much better than he did against Lewis. His footwork and movement are subpar to the Klitschkos' and his defence also lacks. Maybe if he stunned them with a big punch, especially Wlad, he could win. But I see both of them outboxing him down the stretch and most likely stopping him as well. Golota almost did.

            It isn't only in the size. We can't insult Wlad or Vitali's opposition due to most of their opponents having lack of head movement. I really don't see anyone today, who had the head movement of a prime Tyson or Frazier, then again, all credit to the Klitschko's jab also.

              86" reach? That's got to be the longest reach of all time?
