Wlad P4P material? Hell No! Never was.

Yep and Shaq was always a below average Basketball player? If we take away his size he'd never have made it into the NBA? Yes that's how dumb your logic is :rofl:rofl

 

I'll break it down for you: If all Wlad had was his size, then why was he more successfull than guys who were TALLER than him? Why did guys like Nicolai Valuev, Julius Long, Henry Akinwande -- all who were taller than Wlad -- not have HOF worth careers like Wlad did?

Why is that? You claim Wlad's only asset was his size. If it was that simple then guys taller than him should have done BETTER than Wlad. Yet the evidence speaks to the contrary.

 

I don't even think relatively light Wilder at 215 light makes any P4P list, even at punching power category, let alone Wlad...Heavyweight is still an unchallenged division, an opportunity rich division, it didn't get the evolutionary push yet (If $ is pushed on recruiting talent), within few years the Top 10, will be 90"+ reach & Robust built will be the next advantage.

An alternative way to to push Heavyweights into the P4P category is to make 220 a Heavyweight limit & the Super Heavyweights at 220+, the historical prestige of Heavyweight will retain talent & more focus will be made on making sure every ounce of the 220 lbs counts

 

That was before the "Laws of Steward".

 

Oh yeah, and 53 KO's in 64 wins. He might just hit pretty effing hard.

 

Oh snap!
Well of course not. That's a different situation, Lennox was only 6'5".

 

A good biggun will always beat a good little un.

that was a nice hook to the side of the jaw.

P4P fighters don't surrender title's with a whimper.

Being a big Klitschko fan I openly acknowledge that his size advantage was one of his main, game-changing assets

Being a tremendously trained and fit, highly disciplined, focused and powerful punching fighter, obviously work to his benefit


But his inability to develop an inside game was prevented from becoming aa detrimental of a factor as it would be a normal sized fighter, due to his size advantage He learned to keep the opponent on the outside where they could not reach him, and he could take them apart with his power

That's why the rematch will be so interesting; he will finally have to deal with (again) a profound disadvantage he has never faced before; that of size and reach


The first fight he seemed lost on how to deal with fury size advantage and now he knows what he is facing and we'll see if he can alter his style to adjust accordingly and Will his adjustment to be effective ???
