    V.K. is laughing his ass off all the way to the bank too in 2011..... He's a solid champ of the WBC, millionaire, ass-kicker and should breeze into the Hall of Fame by the end of this decade.....

    "all things being equal" Well, what does that mean exactly? If Pacquiao was 6'7" or 8" and 245-250Lbs. he'd be slower... maybe he would even 'seem" less skilled because when you are that tall, heavy, strong, and durable these things become part of your style. Vitali uses what he has to his advantage and it works for him... he does this just as well as Pacquiao or Mayweather use what they have to win them fights. A big man shouldn't be penalized just because he is big.

    Carnera lost to little guys. Carnera had heart but little else... except for size.

    It's hard to say how many of his fights were fixed so I won't even go there but overall he was limited. Had he been fighting top fighters with size and strength somewhat close to his own he would have surely had more losses.

    Max Baer destroyed him, KO11. Louis did it in 6. He outweighed Baer by more than 50 Lbs. Lbs. He outweighed Louis by more than 60 Lbs. Baer and louis were big punchers no doubt but he never had a chance in either fight. I'm convinced V. Klitschko would have done better. I think Klitschko would have beat Baer as a matter of fact.

    Yes, he beat Sharkey, KO6 but Sharkey also droppeed him and outboxed him over 15 rounds in their first fight. He outweighed Sharkey by about 60 Lbs. Sharkey was not a huge puncher.

    He had 2 strange fights with Young Stribling who he outweighed by 77 Lbs the first time and 89 Lbs the 2nd time. Both fights ended in DQ4 Carnera... WDQ7 Stribling. Both were down in the first fight. Many experts feel that both of these fights were fixed but the fact remains that Carnera went down by a dude he outweighed by about a million Lbs.
