    True , the pro game is more about power than the ams I guess.

    I do think both of them have fallen in love with the weights a little bit mnd you.

    Y'know I've kidded about Wlad a fair few times but there is no denying he is an exceptional athlete , as is Haye.

    His reach is listed as 81" so that would actually be shorter arms than Lewis...it's probably a bit more noticable because Wlad is 6'7", if he was 6'3 with the same arms it would look perfectly in proportion.

    I've never really noticed it before, so it can't be that odd.

    Good that'll make him look that much better when he is laying there KTFO having little birdies circling going "TWEET,TWEET" Wlad can kiss the title bye bye when Chagaev lands the lucky bomb on the sweet spot.HAIL CHAGAEV. Then watch once Wlad get's laid out brother Vitali will come storming out from back stage with his shirt off LIKE IN PRO WRESTLING to come to brothers aid. He then will grab a microphone and propose a Texas steel cage deathmatch."Nobody messes with my brother,we protect each other and therefore we will do our best to hold the heavyweight division hostage."

    Wlad is 200cm tall and has a reach of 206cm, that's above average, since usually your wingspan is ~ the same as your height.
    Lennox had ****** arms, the difference between his reach and height are 17cm!

    Maybe I was meant to be taller !

    Damn, imagine I had some boxing talent to go with all that reach...

    My wingspan 2 inches bigger than my height when I extend my fingers. It's shorter than my height by around 7 inches if I clench my fists. How are official measurements done? From end of one fist to end of other fist, I suppose? Than I must have short arms for my height I guess :lol:

    Doesnt Black folk have over all have bigger reach than white ppl, I might be wrong thou? It came out first in to my mind when watching statistics about boxers profiles.IM talking about Body structure:think

    Of course there are exeptions like Cre-Ro Wrestler Legend, Alexanders Karelin Who was about 6'3''=191 cm Tall and his Reach were Freakin 87" 221cm

    yeah, if you look at most African-American fighters their arm length is huge in comparison to their body length. Mexicans tend to have shorter arms then their body length. Eastern Europeans tend to be at or bellow length. Sure there are always exceptions but don't you find it strange that Paul Williams, Muhammad Ali, Wladimir Klitschko and Nikolay Valuev all have the same arm length. :nut :thumbsup

    I'm just highlighting the fact that White people, Black people, Yellow people, Orange and Red people, we all did evolve differently...
    It's Evolution on display right before our very eyes. :thumbsup
