    Size was a minor factor in some of his fights, but his skill is the main factor in ALL of them.

    Silly poll. His height contributes to his style because he is almost always at a large reach advantage, which allows him to box from the outside. If he was shorter he might have to infight more. His height also helps to provide leverage on his punches, which also contributes mightily to how he wins. If he was shorter he might have to do more infighting and might not have the same power due to diminished leverage. Of course if a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his ass when he hopped... Silly question. The case could be made therefore that 100% of his wins came due to his height because it helped to dictate his style.

    I don't know how to answer...of course he would be NOTHING without his height.

    ...but that's not to say he has no skill, he clearly does.

    These threads are done by non-athletes. Wlad's height has no consequence.

    Shaq, Adrian Peterson, Michael Jordan, etc....their size and skill are a complete package. Many bigs suck...

    What's up Jisi...we gave you a shout out on the last installment of the On The Grind Radio show..and interviewed Wlad's nutritionist, who revealed lots of previously unheard info...I'm sure you'd want to play it back

    Chef comes on in the 2nd hour...

    It can be hard to see what the end of this could possibly be.
