    great point about vitali not hitting hard

    now all we have to do is figure out why he keeps stopping so many of his oppenentz inside the distance

    good footwork from a 6 foot 7 individual is relative to the size of that individual

    a 5 foot 7 individual with good footwork would appear to have the agility of a mongoose when compared to a 6 foot 7 individual due to the difference in their body mechanicz

    simply stated a longer leg has MORE distance to travel to RESET itself for balance then a short leg does

    while the longer leg is traveling this distance it will appear SLOWER due to the truth that it is slower

    thus we unwittingly JUDGE good 5 foot 7 leg work as SUPERIOUR to good 6 foot 7 legwork because the agility levelz appear so radically different

    HOWEVER

    important to keep in mind that a single stride from a 6 foot 7 individual can cover the distance in one step that it would take a 5 foot 7 individual to cover in more then one step

    that part often getz forgoten and thus 6 foot 7 individualz appear to the unaware as having awful footwork

    the truth is for two dudez around 6 foot 7, vlad and vit both have great foot work

    how can we be sure ?

    thatz easy compare them against other 6 foot 7 boxerz

    i could even add that i feel if they both didnt have such good overall footwork that waz relative to their height and size they both would have been destroyed long ago as the best way to make USE of a height advantage in boxing is to have great footwork
