    he is a great role model in and out of the ring and a great pro..but hypothetically if he didn't have the huge size advantage over most of his opponents would he have been so dominant??

        Was that why Monte Barrett KOed Tye Fields?

        Why Jack Dempsey dominated Jess Willard?

        Why Eddie Chambers defeated Alexander Dimitrenko?

        Why Vyacheslav Glazkov dominated Evegny Orlov?

        The truth is: size isn't so important, it's HOW YOU USE IT.

          Because you cannot fathom criticism of your favourite fighter, or someone not kissing his arse for everything he does like fighting unranked opponents, you automatically bracket someone a hater. I have always liked Wlad, and given him respect for his longevity, durance and application to the sport. But he still stinks the place out every time.

          That being said, he deserves his place in the Hall of Fame, and I wish him a happy birthday.

              Happy Birthday to the Heavyweight Champion of the world.

              Seems like he's had that title forever now.

              I hope and expect a big year from Wlad.

                I think that's a stereotypical comment on the Klitschkos, these guys are both very talented regardless of size - which let's face it isn't the major determinant in boxing.

                    Stop crying, they're a couple of ****s, one old, one a foetus. Deal with it...and this threads about Wlad, so GTFOH with your flobro drum.
