    first of all...the whole notion of pound for pound is a mythical what if....

    secondly....if all things were even...and weight didn't matter....and klitschko was the same size as mayweather....or rigondeaux....or pacquiao....or bradley....

    we wouldn't even know klitschko's name. he'd be less than ordinary. his heavyweight "skills" don't transfer to the lower weights. if he doesn't have the advantage of being 6'7"....and 250....he becomes less than ordinary.

    And if Ali was scaled down to the size of elite middleweights with the exact same skills he had at heavyweight, he wouldn't stand a chance against guys like Monzon and Hagler. You can play that game with every career heavyweight.

    If Ali fought at a lower weight he would be more agile, have faster hands, better movement and harder to hit.

    No he is not and he could beat every HW out there and he still would not be p4p1

    Vitali and Vlad both would have become world champions at any weight.

    Wladimir has come a long way and is the #3 P4P fighter in the world today. Truly inspirational. Congratulations Champ.
