    No, he wasn't big at all. The brothers towered over him.

    Maybe it was the radiation that grew them so big. Wlad tells how he played with his paper boats as a child in puddles of water that turned out to be radioactive.

      A lot of boxers have fathers who discipline their kids in a harsh sort of way. It gets good results though. Serious question, how tall was he?

        RIP. My condolences to the Klitschko family.

        I'm sure he had incredible pride for his sons.

              Always wanted to know more about Wlad and Vitali's dad. He sounds like he was an exceptional person...and he raised two exceptional sons.

              RIP Vladimir Klitschko

                      He raised two hell of a fighters. ATG fighters. And they were smart academically also.
