Wlad has said many times he 6'5 3/4" or just under 6'6" His wingspan 81" that's less than Lewis and Sonny Liston at 84" His arms are just 26" less than Vitali at 29" and Lewis at 29.5" Lennox Lewis vs David Tua was more of a height and reach mismatch than Wlad-Povetkin.
You don't think basketball players have weak chins? James would of been a high light reel ko victim.:dead Just likr wilder will be!:good
The Klitchkos would be nothing? I always find it interesting that some Americans often demean the accomplishments of athletes from other countries. Tennis, though quite different from boxing, historically has been dominated by Americans. However, it is now currently dominated by four European elite players (Djokovic, Nadal, Murray, and Federer). Are we to think that if Americans actually cared about tennis that these four players would be nothing? Let's give credit where credit is due. The undisputed heavyweight champion of the WORLD is a Ukrainian that was born in Kazakhstan. Deal with it.
Valouev was 7 feet 2 inches tall, over 300 lbs., he is the talest heavyweight champion in boxing history.l Vlad was 6 feet 7 inches tall in the Olympics, Vitali is 6 feet eight. HBO had Vlad being only 6 feet 5 inches tall, until he stood face to face with the 6 foot 5 Bostice. Jim Lampley said that Vlad looks to be at least 2 inches taller. When Vlad stood face to face with Austin, who is 6 feet 6, Vlad was taller, same as when Vlad stood face to face with with Derrick Jefferson, who was 6 feet 6 inches tall. The Klitschkos do not care if the American media claims they are midgets, it does not matter to them. Vlad was a little shorter than Wach who was 6 feet 8 inches tall. Vlad fights his best against tall fighters, always has. It's not the height, it's the skills...........
7 feet 2, 7 feet or whatever, it does not matter, but in the Olympics they usually get the height correct..........
