    i am not a wlad fan .
    i pick him because of his size.
    but he is not an ernie terrell or jess willard not even the common 21st century full sized super heavy. it is not just his size , he knows how to use it in the best , or close to it way, just like ali did know how to use his size in a smart way.
    but wlad is bigger than ali and is no ernie terrell . so ali is in for a problem.
    ali could beat : (1) smaller men (2) dumb bigger men
    wlad is not one of the two above.

    He crouches a little bit sometimes, whereas Ali boxes on his toes.

    But he was six six alright.

    Milwaukee Sentinel Mar 4 1965: "Ernie Terrell is his own biggest cheer leader, and at six foot six inches how much bigger can you get?"

    i guess it is terrell in that pic , great , it is just another one out of many to disprove boxrec's listings and prove them as ****.
    so terrell was no way above 6'4" , even slightly below.

    If you can produce ONE contemporary source that lists Terrell as standing six foot four or below, I will conceed the point to you.

    posters like you dare to deduce wlad's possible style and tactics agaisnt ali from terrel's.

    how did they let you out of your hospice with that reasoning ?
    some day you might think the bus driving on the road 50m from you is harmless , because you have just stood next to it yesterday while it parked and nothing happened.

    so tell me , is the bus dangerous or not ?
    but i warn you i might report your answer to the authorities for your own good.

    you have already provided me with that source with the pic you just posted , along with the claim ali was 6'3" (and actually he was 6'2" or 6'2.5" at best , and this i heard in some ESPN classic or something like that , some certified old fart said so)

    Ridiculous. Look at the size difference between Ali and Terrell.

    Terrell weighed in at 212 for that fight.

    Wlad is a much, much bigger man than that.

    Ernie Terrell is no comparison for saying what Wladimir would be able to do.

    In fact, David Haye is closer to Muhammed Ali's size and weight than Wlad is to Ernie Terrell's.

    No, you twat. In a conversation SPECIFICALLY about Wlad's reach advantage and whether or not Ali could overocme such a reach advantage i pointed out that he had overcome a longer reach advantage.

    It was a specific point and styles weren't mentioned. Are you kidding?

    I think "some certified old far said so" doesn't really do it.

    Well yeah, look. Earnie is taller.

    Indeed. This was a point specifically about height and reach


    As long as we are allowing photographic evidence involving sixty year old men, here is ernie terrell towering over the six foot three Ken Norton

    i meant someone you would think highly of , i just forgot his name , but he was someone whom you probably respect. some of them boxing journalists/historians . i am pretty sure he was. respected TV documentaries will not interview every old man and let it be on air , right ?

    well , for the rest of the posters here i think it is clear now.
