As I understand, Wlad is billed at 6'5 (confirmed) 240 + lbs (he himself. But even when he faces opponents of similar stature, he always looks like the imposing figure. For example, Wlad vs Pulev, Pulev was only an inch or so shorter and weighed heavier than Wlad, yet he looked like the much smaller opponent in the ring and was manhandled easily. Same with Wlad vs Pianeta. Pianeta is essentially the same height as Wlad (6'5) and weighs similar, yet he looked much much smaller in the ring. Same with Wlad vs Wach, except this time Wach is the taller and heavier man. So how does Wladimir always seem like the stronger and bigger fighter, even against evenly matched opponents?? Is it just the amount of muscle mass he is carrying?
H He wears high soles in his shoes at press conference at weigh ins, he looked the same height as Fury at the weigh in, but he isn’t, them soles add around 3 inches onto his height
Pulev as an amateur was listed as 190 cm, which is 6’3”. As for Wlad In the Olympics he was 195cm, which is basically a cm under 6’5”, which is close enough for Wlad to claim 6’5”.
One of the sharpest minds for a boxer who had many fights. Not an ounce of boxing related trauma in this interview. I've seen amateurs who never had a pro fight in far far worse shape.
6'6" tall, with an 81" reach is the most common listing. Fury who is listed at 6'9" tall did not look like he had 3" on Wlad.
