If the klitschko's didn't have such a physical advantage how good would they be?

    too true the klits are technically good fighters but have been born with a massive advantage. would you agree that a welterweight would not stand a chance against a super middleweight and therefore should the average size decent heavyweight be forced to the klits to gain a title:bart

    i agree no other weight other than heavy has to deal with the same disadvantages as weight and height. they only have to deal with boxing skills speed and power..:bbb

    If Marciano wasnt American would he have been so popular or remembered for his record??

    The OP is just trying to discredit the Klitchskos.

    If Tyson wasnt to fast he would have never been anyone.

    The unreal thing about the Klits is that big men dont usually have movement of that much coordination, also they tend to tire and throw very few punches.

    Vitali is huge and has a tremendous work rate
    Wlad is huge and moves like a cruiser

    Thats what makes them special

    The fact is that they do have these physical advantages. You can blame them for being taller and having a longer reach than you can blame Micheal Jordan for his leaping ability. I think they are both very good fighters that are technically sound yet have flaws that none of these current crop of crappy heavyweights can take advantage of. I do not think the question is why do they win but why haven't they lost recently.

    That's a stupid question. That's like asking how good would Ray Robinson have been without his speed?

    Yes great tactics by Byrd to be seven rounds down after 8, and using positive thinking to cause injury to Vitali's shoulder. Perfectly executed game plan.

    That's like asking how good Tye Fields would be if he didn't have such a physical advantage. Or Julius Long.
