    Your argument seems to be based on the fact that Klitschko was big and fought other big men.

    The reality is that you cant even make a general judgment about a weightlifters strength from their size and physical apearance.

    It is perfectly reasonable to suggest that you could find sombody under the supermiddleweight limit as strong as Wlad.

    Weightlifting exercises develop a specific set of muscles for a narrow range of movment.

    Mannual labour involves a much wider range of movments and develops more general strength, usualy more endurance based.

    If you put a weightlifter and a manual labourer together the weightlifter would benchpress more but the manual labourer would be better able to pick up a 100 lb sack of coal with one hand or bend a peice of iron with just his fingers.

    I was a manual labourer before I took up weightlifting and transfered prety seamlesly from one to the other.

    Corrie Sanders was nothing outside of beating Wlad.

    Willard bead a lot of people who were better on paper and head to head.

    " Outside of Wlad ", isn't the reality. That was a collossal win, and one that won't be forgotten soon. What wins does Willard have that were better than that? And please don't start randomely naming fighters just for prosperity sake. Also, how many losses did Sanders have in his career? What does Willard's record look like?

    Don´t you think the fighters of the past would also throw more combinations when their fights would be only 12 rounds? Their style was adepted to their rules just like today´s stlye is adepted to today´s rules. But IMO it´s easier for fighters of the past to adept to today´s boxing than the other way round.
