Ideal size for future HW contenders?

Klitchkos are not perfect fighter and neither are anybody else..

 

From Boxrec ,I think about 35 fights before he met Tyson and about 30 KOs.
One of his decisions was against an old Jimmy Young interestingly.

BTW I'm not rating Tyson ahead of Ali,Louis,Holmes,Foreman or Lewis if you are curious.

 

No,but if Wlad had learnt some of the professional know how early in his career he could have been a far greater fighter.Apart from his chin(which is an important thing admitedly),he is more physically talented than his brother.

 

His opponents before Tyson was not so impressive..hardly even gate keepers.

 

I think today small HW is 6"2' and 230 lbs

Ideal would be 6'4" and 240!

 

Like i sayed they have their blunders too..wlad was youngest superheavyweight olympic gold medallist ever (age 20) and he turn pro quickly. -96 3 fights, -97 13 fights, -98 9 fights...

 

6'6" at least... to have any shot at challenging the K brothers. Their height advantage is so underrated. It is far and away their biggest advantage over 90% of their opponents.

 

6'6, 240

 

6'3 225lbs, my kinda heavyweight. :smoke

 

if you wanna be a good heavy you need to be no shorter than 6'4 235

 

The man in your avatar would clean house today.

 

The latest RING magazine top 10 heavyweights includes Wlad Klitschko (#1) at 6'6, Vitali Klitschko (#2) at 6'8, Nicolay Valuev (#4) at 7' +, and Alexander Dimitrenko (#10) at 6'7

But Chagaev (#3) is only 6'1, Povetkin (#5) is 6'2, Peter (#7) is 6'1, and Maskaev (#8) and Gomez (#9) are 6'3

There's no one under 6 foot, but all the contenders when Tyson came along were well over 6' as well.

It's true that some of these Ukrainians and Russians are very tall but they haven't all proven to be particularly good fighters. valuev is massive but lost to a guy 6'1. The Klitschko brothers are good but they've both lost to guys smaller than themselves.

 

non sense these guys have yet to come up against a really good opponent when they do we'll see how important height is.

 

Man, you little ******. If you think a 6'7" robot is a master boxer, you're ******ed.

 

So just because he's 6'7 he can't be skilled?:think
