    Also Jefferson was 33 years old and is another who wasn't a massive mover either and never had much speed, so i'm afraid you're gonna have to look again!! .
    i see that you have never actually watched them fight. Both had very good handspeed and 32-33 would have been their primes.

      His height does take away some of the advantages they are used to but I won't even consider him someone who even has potential until he beats someone at least as good as present Monte Barrett or Tye Fields....also he needs to gain some weight he is at what Haye is at but is about 4 inches taller.

        tall guys if they dont use there height to their advantage are easy to knock out


        Lennox set the bar on how to box with a height advantage, the Kilts use similar tactics, especially Wlad

        Its all about the jab, and not letting ur opponent get on the inside and a lot of clinching. It can be boring to watch if it goes 12 rounds.

        Alot of these big guys such as Audely never mastered the jab, thus is why they always get knocked out

        If you throw in two tall guys together it will end up being brawl, which is true, tall guy fights tend not to go the distance, it all depends on who has the most power, and stronger chin.

            I asked you to name an opponant who had three things

            1. YOUTH

            2. HAND SPEED

            3. MOVEMENT

            It doesn't matter whether you think they were in their "primes" or not THEY DID NOT HAVE THE THREE THINGS I ASKED FOR!! .

              People need to stop acting like height and reach is no kind of advantage. If you use your height like the Klitschko's, of course it's an advantage. And when they face a top fighter their height, that advantage gets threatened. Does it mean Wilder would beat them because of height? No, but he can give them problems. Height is only an advantage for the Klitschko's because they actually use it to their advantage.

              Some one like Paul Williams, or Diego Corrales, or Antonio Margarito, who were/are relatively tall for their weight divisions, didn't have that height advantage because they didn't use their height even though they were taller than almost every one they fought. They fought like smaller men.
