    A lot of it. They use what they have to their advantage, like any fighter should.

      True

      But no matter what your dad does to his body, he's still genetically a man.

        Interesting.

        By your logic, then, the winner of tonight's bout between Tye Fields and Michael Grant should meet Valuev to crown the division's top fighter, as all are bigger than the Klitschkos.

          No son.
          A ******* is a woman born with a ****.
          What you are reffering to is a Dirk Diggler, a.k.a a *** or you could say ***** dumpster.

          Also third option hermaphrodite.

            If size is 95% of it, I hope they are all watching the Tye Fields - Michael Grant PPV tonight to see the next champion crowned.

              They are very skilled. Great size without ability makes you Tye Fields, not a heavyweight champion.

                reason therefor is they cannot go toe-to-toe with them as it takes longer and more accuracy to punch.
                They are not the same fighter and don't fight the same way.

                Wlad uses the clinch a lot because that's Manny's game plan.

                Vitali actually doesn't clinch that much at all.

                  How much of Michael Grant's "success" is due to his size?

                    you act like the K-sisters using their size is bad... even wifebeater would be an average fighter without his speed and reflexes.

                      Well, I agree that they are very imposing. Both have huge "advantages" before they even step in the ring. However, a faster guy would have the same type of advantage. And a great short fighter knows how to make his lack of a size an advantage, as well, by getting inside and working the body.

                      So, it's all about what you do with what you have. Both Klitschko brothers have done that.
