HW division has no limit. Wladimir is just an unusual breed, a big man with technical brilliance.
Heavyweight Champions=Unfair advantage

If they were built differently they would be different fighters so we can't say how they would look.No, im being honest not hating, so you are basically saying if the Klitschkos were the same size as their opponents they would have dominated like they have been. 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.
The style they have developed accommodates their physical attributes and this is by design not an accident.Last edited by Spray_resistant; 03-23-2010, 09:03 PM.Comment

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 talentComment

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

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...Comment
