    I'm a huge klitciko fan and it's clear that their size helps a lot.

      I'd say the size can help defensively more than offensively. Being out of range for 80% of your opponents' bombs is going to make the fight a hell of a lot easier.

              Size matters!

              That's why Julius Long the tallest boxer at 7'2" and who has the longest reach at 90" is the heavyweight champion!

              Wait...

                  vitaly uses his size advantages very well. without them, it's doubtful he'd be as good as he is

                    Got to agree with you here, plus the Klitchkos have developed the sort of style where they can use their height advantage to the best way possible. No doubt they have boxing skill and power and whatnot, but their defensive footwork, constantly keeping out of range is a massive advantage for them.....

                    I really wish there was a superheavyweight devision. I find it insane that theres such a big deal made about the weight difference's in the lower weghts when its just a few pounds over or under, but when it comes to heavyweights the difference in weight is pretty much unlimited which just makes for some ridicolous match ups.

                      vitali is a great fighter wladamir not so much but any who doesn't think that vitali is a great boxer needs to really open their eyes and stop hating. yes vitali is tall but there are alot of tall boxers that are not succesful so why is vitali?someone said that their arsenal is limited but i think you may be referring to wladamir because vitali seems to be versatile and throws an array of punches not just a jab and a straight right
