Would Klitschkos Have A Chance Against Haye If They Didn't Have Size Advantage?

Slow-mo repeats are your friend

Pretty amazing how Haye didn't get KTFO standing with his hands down the whole fight.

Bet Emmanuel Steward thought it was something other than amazing.

I guess the same goes for Vitali.

I guess the same goes for Vitali.

Not really having a height and reach advantage makes it easier to judge distance and more time to react, also he just leans back and then holds. Nothing amazing about that really.

it's a flawed question

the most important aspect of the klitschkos is the size. that's why they fight the way they do and why they are so successful. they fight big and they fight tall.

they'd be completely different fighters without the size

It's impressive with Haye but somehow totally not impressive with Vitali. OK hater, whatever you say.

Floyd Mayweather has the same arm length as Wlad, 26".

David Haye has longer arms than Wlad, according to the measurements given by HBO before the Haye-Wlad fight.

Wlad's record:

Many of his opponents WEIGHED MORE THAN HE DID:

Thompson
Rahman
Austin
Jefferson
Moli
McCline
Koch
Shaheed
Purrity
Pannell
Dixon
LaRosa
McIntyre
Botowamungu
Martin x 2
Monroe x 2
Wolfgramme
G. Williamson
Maciel

For those 21 fights and a few others Wlad's opponents were bigger than he is. Frans Botha weighed exactly the same. About ten others were very close to the same weight...

Wlad has excellent boxing skills. If size was all that mattered, then the top heavyweights would be Marcellus Brown, Julius Long, Nicolay Valuev, Evgeny Orlov, Michael Grant, Tyson Fury, Alexander Dimitrenko and Tye Fields. All these men are bigger than Wladimir, but none of them are close to his athleticism.

Lennox Lewis was about the same height as Wlad, just under 6'6" and had a longer reach at 84" to Wlad's 81" and longer arms 29.5" to Wlad's 26".

Michael Grant has a reach of 86" and Julius Long has a reach of 90" compared to Wlad's 81".

What happened to Vitali when he had someone like Wlad hit him?

What happened to Vitali when he had someone like Wlad hit him?

Only his reach isn't really good for his size and he faced many opponents with a better reach. Oh yeah, and Haye got KTFO'd by a guy smaller than him.

Did that one touch a nerve? Vitali's great defence. ROFL

Best win on Wlad's resume and big bad Wlad could barely land anything on him. Haye gets stick but Wlad was just as bad, only we're used to that **** from him.
