Is Just Size a Dominant Factor - Klitschkos, etc

[Martin (Top Knowledge)]

It's the difference why the heavyweight division is so different to all the other weight catogories.

it's only an advantage if you use it the right way, klitschko has been able to use his height very well that's the difference, a lot of taller guys don't use their height because they fight down to their opponents level

all it will take to kayo vitali is a heavyweight with a solid chin, decent power, and most important, excellent stamina. the guy looks like he could fall over just on pure exhaustion if he gets in the later rounds. why is that? because of his tremendous size. he can only build so much stamina at 6'8. if he gets in a competitive fight into the championship rounds he will go down HARD, and probably retire.

I agree with the lack of top-notch stamina in larger fighters, although basketball players seem to do fairly well. that being said, he always looks like that, that's been the source of much of the scrutiny by the boxing media and boxing fans alike, coupled with his clumbsy appearance. But the attributes you're talking about aren't that easy to find in one package firstly, and secondly even if one came along, there's no guarantee he'd beat VK. If Wlad continues to use his height to his advantage as well, instead of fighting smaller like he used to, he could be a force to be reckoned with as well. I still say that size can be just as much a hinderance as a help though.

Yes but if he wasnt as big he probably wouldnt be as mechanical, he would be more mobile and probably been a better boxer.

Thank you very much...
