Serious Question: What if the Klitschko's were 6'2'' & 220lbs??

[Hitman932]

TS is a ****ing moron who is simply looking to take a dig at the Klitschkos.

They are talented fighters who would be world champions no matter what size they were. Wlad already showed his ability to adapt by changing his style 180 degrees to become a dominant champion.

If they were smaller they would be way more athletic than everyone else and way more agile. They would still be as powerful as any other Heavyweight and would throw 25% more punches. They would still be the most disciplined fighters and the hardest workers and would have the exact same records that they do now against the exact same competition.

What has any Klitschko opponent accomplished that would make anyone believe they would have won the fight had the brother been a few inches shorter?

What if Duran was 7"11 and Hearns was 4"2 and made of potato chips?

Kind of a silly question. If size was all that mattered. Michael Grant, Lance Whitaker, Julius Long, Tye Fields and a whole lot of others would be doing much better than they are.

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.

VK was grown up and World Kick-Boxing Champion before he began boxing. He did both concurrently for quite a while. Punching was only an adjunct to his kick-boxing.

I am going to repeat what everyone else already said on this thread - TS you are an idiot and you are certainly no Klitschko fan, that was a loaded question which you obviously knew the answer to, basically you are insinuating that they only reason the Klitschkos are as good as they are is because of their size:

1) If they were smaller they would not fight the same and there is not telling how they would fight, and just you claim that Tyson would still "have the same heart, skills, and be the same person" is evidence of what a trolling Klitschko hater you are. If you give that much credit to Tyson and then claim to be a Klitschko fan, you should not have to question their heart in a back-handed way. At least have the balls to come out and be a Klitschko hater instead of pretending to be a fan.

2) The size is not what makes them great, it's their skill. Many 6'6" and 6'7" boxers could not achieve even a modicum of what they have achieved, in fact, most taller boxers suck and get beaten down by shorter more agile men; Chambers vs Dimitrenko, Ibragimov vs Briggs and Goofy, Chagaev vs Valuev, Barrett vs Fields, I can go on forever but you knew this already before you posted so my question to you is: Are you ****** or are you a troll? It can only be one of these choices.

Goofy Whittaker was KO'd by Ibragimov.

Goofy Whittaker was KO'd by Ibragimov.

Thing is... people think of ALL the superstar giants from Wilt to Shaq to the Klitschko's & attribute most of there dominance to there size INSTEAD of accepting that there size is part of the package & is part of there advantage that they themselves had NOTHING to do with... also the ONLY valid comparison you can make that pits them on equal billing size wise is to compare them to others who have fought with similar dimensions.... when you do this & see that they ALONE are clearly on another level... then THAT is what one bases there skills on...


in other words they did NOT rely just on there size to save the day... they spent hrs in the gym honing there skills... that last aspect would NOT change just because you shrink them.... they'll still be the most fittest & in shape fighters & because of there fighting mentality will find a way to be advantageous against others.. ala Marciano... Tyson.. Iverson or any other small great... dominance comes from within... not from how much you weigh or how tall you are... the Klitschko's & every other superstar big in any sport take advantage of what god gave them but are NOT or should not be defined by there size as that's a part of them ... the brothers should be commended for the fact that they JUST didn't rely on there size & worked on there craft

what if tyson was 6'3-6'4 and 240?



i wish tua wasn't 5'8 280.....

[Left Hook Tua]

Kind of a silly question. If size was all that mattered. Michael Grant, Lance Whitaker, Julius Long, Tye Fields and a whole lot of others would be doing much better than they are.

those guys would have ****** even more.

[Rhymenocerous]

I don't remember anyone ever saying that Lennox Lewis was only good because he was big...but the Klitschkos get that all the time...I wonder why?
