    How much of the Klitschko brothers success is due to their size?

    The Klitschko's are two of the most skilled modern day Heavyweights. They're both so physically imposing. I think a lot of their opponents have lost the fight before they step in the ring. Wladmir's fist is almost as big as Haye's head lol. How much do you think their size aids them in their fights?

          A lot of it is. They are truly modern "super-athletes". But they are also highly skilled, very technical. If you believe in something called "boxing IQ", which I don't, they have it.

          They aren't just a couple of big bumbling idiots. they have serious athletic talent, and that part of the world has produced some high caliber athletes in the past

            I would say much of it, what they do wouldn't work if they were 6'1 and 225.

                  about 95% of their success comes from their size but the other 5% comes from their ability to box.
