Better? No. But they fought rather differently from Vitali. Vitali, for his part, fought some OK guys Ali's size who tried to outbox him (closest...
Wlad beats him. Vitali vs Ali would be more interesting. Vitali couldn't slaughter little guys quite like his brother could.
A good portion of it fat. Nielsen wasn't a bad fighter. That said, Buster Mathis was also taller, fatter, and heavier than Floyd (though perhaps...

He gets about as far as he did in his own time. Maybe a bit less. Lots of close decision wins. Byrd was an incredibly talented man, but he wasn't...
