I am NOT KNOCKING anyone..I like the Klitchkos...I just think people don't give them credit because of their size advantage....so I am wondering how people would see them doing if they were everyone else's size.Comment

Dumb Question.
If they were 6'2, they wouldn't fight like they do at 6'6, 6'7. Their style is a reflection of their size. Wlad perfected this tall man/range style of fighting.
In his younger days, he used to waste a lot of unnecessary energy, by moving around to much like a smaller fighter, and his stance not being as tall/upward as it is now. Now he has slowed down his pace, closed the gaps and made his One-Dimensional style of fighting the best One-Dimension of all times.
Same goes for Vitali. The assumption on your part is, that at a hypothetical 6'2, they would still fight like 6'6 guys, when evolution would take over and they would fight differently and according to that height.
Mike Tyson wouldn't fight like Mike Tyson at 6'7, barbing and weaving, and if he did wouldn't be half as effective.Comment

my point exactly..how would that Vitali (without the size advantage) do vs the current HW division.
How did he know he would dilate to 6'7 when he was younger? Some people grow a lot some don't.
So I'm asking had he not had the size advantage would his skills still be the same. Im sure his height spurt didn't cause him to get smarter. Im sure mayweather would fight the same way if he was 5'10 or 5'11 instead of 5'8
If Tyson was 3 inches taller it wouldn't make a difference, he would still be the same person, same ferocity, same heart, same mind, same emotion, same athletic talent.Comment

Having read the original post, and not the rest of the thread, I would have to say..... They wouldn't fight with the same style, if they were "shorter and smaller".Comment
