No announcement yet.
How much of the failure of Grant, Long, Brown, Fields, & Orlov is due to their size?

yeah, usually they are big, slow, clumsy oafs and often have glass chins
pretty weird, and shows up the whole "kobe bryant would be world champ if he boxed" argument

most big men are uncoordinated and have bad technique and skill.
the Klitschko brothers(and Lewis), are very exceptional and way above the norm for big men.
usually being that big is actually a negative.

I see this is in response to another thread but is not it a bad thing if the K-bros size aids them in most of their wins? They use what they were born with and apply a specific technique in the ring based on that.
But their size does play a huge part in the victories.

Part of the problem with the guys you mentioned in the first post is that nearly all of them came into the game late.
It's not like they were taught at a young age, and continuously worked on their skills while growing.
I think that's one of the big things here.
Promoters see them and think, that's a big dude, he could probably fight or be an attraction, most of those guys started boxing after they grew.
