Lewis had a weaker left jab, Klitschko goes nuts with his and uses it primarily in the early rounds just because of how much of a serious weapon it is. His jab is like a 2x4 coming out of a basement window. The way he uses it so frequently likely has something to do with how many times he's been caught and hurt because he wasn't using the jab the way a guy with a glass chin should.
Are K2 so dominant because their so tall, not so much their skills?

He fights with the jab because he's scared of anything coming back, like Steward told him in the corner he's jab, jab, step back.Lewis had a weaker left jab, Klitschko goes nuts with his and uses it primarily in the early rounds just because of how much of a serious weapon it is.

Believe me, I'm not saying they are as good as Lewis, just saying the Klitschkos have a similar understanding of how to use their size to control the range the fight is fought at.Comment

They dominate because they know how to use their physical gifts and compliment them with real skills. Of course they would not be the same fighters if they were shorter. You take away an advantage of any fighter anytime in history and it would affect them.
The key about being a successful fighter is is taking advantage of your natural gifts and making them work for you. The K bros know how to do it.Comment

Yeah it's a bit like saying a prime RJJ wouldn't have been as good without his insane speed and reflexes. Yeah, no kidding. Wlad's performance against the equally sized Ray Austin where he got him out of there in under 2 rounds without throwing a single right hand showed me he's not just tall.They dominate because they know how to use their physical gifts and compliment them with real skills.

Ali was taller and heavier (and quicker) than most of his opponents, doesn't mean he's not the greatest HW of all time.Comment
