    It is not clear. If 7 feet people had such a natural advantage, they would control HW division. However, we just do not see this happening. I think giants like Valuev have several important disadvantages, including lack of speed, coordination, and stamina, which prevent them becoming dominant boxers.

          He robbed Donald and Ruiz of a win. They were both beating him especially Donald.

            The most ridiculous thing was Barrett letting this slow and cumbersome giant hit him. I don't know how many times I have told these young guys, CHIN DOWN, GUARD UP, MOVE YOU ****IN' HEAD! Do they do it? NO! Do they pay for? YES! Just watch Barrett get beat up by Valuev and you will see.
