    of course, that's his only advantage - his size, height, and reach. Otherwise he's a robotic 1 - 2 puncher. It's too bad there are no good HW's out there to expose him.

    Well, he defo wouldn't be as good as he his. Eddie did do a good job of letting his hands go at times and you could see he was thinking as to how the **** he hits him. Eddie showed some great skills, and if Wlad was 3 or 4 inches shorter he would have gotten beat and he would be thrown into the mix of all these HW's that are B fighters right now. If anything that would be better for the division if that was the case. Instead of two big, tall, skillful Heavyweights that aren't exciting dominating everybody they fight.

    I had a friend of mine say "Why isn't Chambers attacking him and going straight ahead? If that was Marciano he would have KO'd Klitschko in 2 rounds."

    Then I replied, "Yep you are right...about the fact that it would be over in 2 rounds. Marciano wouldn't have had a chance and he would get killed."

    Round 12 comes and Chambers gets KTFO. I told him that's exactly what would happen to a 190 pound Rocky Marciano. Except it would be a lot sooner.

    If Shaq O'Neil was shorter he'd be a **** basketball player. But he isn't so he's a great one.

    Would the same thing apply to Lennox Lewis? His size advatage & reach was a major asset and fought in the same type of style as Wladimir.

    What if Floyd Mayweather was slow? **** off.

    He'd be like Kessler. Good against stand up fighters. Show him angles, athletism and unorthodoxy and he would collapse.
    Chambers was finding the angles, just was too little to unload.

    His fundamentals, balance, handspeed, power and footwork aren't bad at all.

    His major problems are a poor chin and a fanbase consisting exclusively of mongs.

    Lennox would be a good fighter regardless of his height and size. He had good boxing skills. Same with Mayweather. Without his speed he'd still be good.

    Wlad & Vitali have elementary boxing skills and they get away with it because of their size and the fact that the division sucks balls.
