    You make a good point, but like somebody else said.. If he had the same parents, the same genes, doubt he'd be much different. Food these days have more steroids and things in them so people do grow, but no matter what you eat, drink, or inject I doubt you'd go from being 5'11 without it, to 6'3 with it.
    I don't think you can match Wlad up with Rocky for instance in a HW fantasy matchup. 75 pound weight difference and 6' of height? Also, short arms even for being 5'11? Big George, or Tyson against Wlad are ok (at least there around the size of in shape HWs these days), but this much difference is unfair when comparing to world class.

    I'm assuming your mother is short compared to your dad, and you took after her.
