    HW division has no limit. Wladimir is just an unusual breed, a big man with technical brilliance.

They're not only winning but crushing the competition. There is a lack of competition in the HW division unlike back in the days but it seems like every opponent is overwhelmed by their size.
      If they were built differently they would be different fighters so we can't say how they would look.

      The style they have developed accommodates their physical attributes and this is by design not an accident.

            Im not saying they are not good fighters, I like the Klitschkos guess is just a lack of talent in the HW division that makes them looks superior. I mean at least have them involved in a good back and forth fight but that doesnt happen Klitschko dominates. BTW you guys keep bringing up Valuev. The guy has 50 wins and only 2 losses, his size was the reason for him winning not his skill he made it far enough with that type of talent

              Marcellus Brown is 7'0" and Julius Long is 7'2" (6" and 8" taller than Wladimir).

              Julius Long has a 90" reach. Compare that to Wlad's 81" reach.

              Why would Wlad easily KO these two much bigger men?

                like al pacino said, you should say its unfair that the klitschkos are the only ones in the heavyweight division, for the most part, that are actually in shape...

                  I do think it should be noted, but at the same time, the bigger you are, the slower you are... usually.

                    Wlad's record:

                    http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?hum...7035&cat=boxer

                    Many of his opponents WEIGHED MORE THAN HE DID:

                    Thompson
                    Rahman
                    Austin
                    Jefferson
                    Moli
                    McCline
                    Koch
                    Shaheed
                    Purrity
                    Pannell
                    Dixon
                    LaRosa
                    McIntyre
                    Botowamungu
                    Martin x 2
                    Monroe x 2
                    Wolfgramme
                    G. Williamson
                    Maciel


                    For those 21 fights and a few others Wlad's opponents were bigger than he is. Frans Botha weighed exactly the same. About ten others were very close to the same weight...
