    If we reversed their size advantage would they still rule?

    if you reversed their size their fighting style would be a lot different, Taller fighters are always going to use their reach to their advantage and fight at range whilst being that tall would also incorporate and added amount of weight.

    In other words they are the fighters they are because of their size, if their physical attributes alone decided how good they were they would be like Shaquel o neil getting beat up by past prime welterweights

    I think the point you're trying to make, is if you eliminate the clear physical advantages they have - Would they be as dominant?

    I.e. How much of their dominance is based on their size, as opposed to boxing talent.

    Yeah basically.

    I dont think you can ignore the fact that in 9/10 fights they have 4-5 inches and 25-30lbs on their opponents.

    Look at Haye/Wlad.

    If we reversed the sizes it would have been a 6'0" 180lb Wlad against Haye

    Oh look, another thread by Earl-Pikey grasping at straws
     
  7. Vitali only seems like he has a great chin because he is never punched in the chin. He leans back. When has either Klitschko fought a guy as big or bigger? Never.
    And there are guys out there.

    This is what we have been trying to explain to you num nuts wlad is 6'7 and moves the way he does and has the power he does ...their size has a lot to do with it ...he would of crush Ali had he been in his time ...no prob.
     
  9. NO. This is why I have never been a huge klit bros fan. At 6'2 they get worked...

    put either in with Wach, Fields, or Thompson and we'll see how good they are when they don't enjoy those advantages.

    Can tyson still be dominate in his prime at 7 feet with the same punching power like Valuev? Can floyd still be undefeated by standing the same height as paul williams using shoulder rolls? i mean this is stupid. This thread is ******ed.

    Have you not seen his earlier fights, maybe the fight against Lewis especially. Lewis landed an uppercut on his chin that would have decapitated or at least KTFO 95% of HW's, Vitali took it and kept coming.
