Would Wlad be Champ if he was only 6'-1"???

[JETSKI]

I watched Wlad pound an old & lathargic Brewster & I'm still not impressed. Would he have all those wins if he wasn't a huge guy? If he was only 6'-1" or so, would he have done as well as he has?

I just don't see it. He'd be an average HW. Its his huge size that gives him big reach & big right hand power. If it wasn't for that, he'd be a Chump...not a Champ.

Would Tyson have been champ if he hadn'd had that big punch?

Silly question. :patsch

Yes - and if Churchill was one foot taller he would´ve been the president of the US of America!

Idiot!:-(

[2ironmt]

No that's an easy question, maybe of the cruiser/light hw division. He's that good b/c he's soo big and athletic and skilled

Would George Bush be President if we used our brains?

ask yourself the same question only change wlad's name to lennox lewis. afterall , lewis had the same trainer

Would Mohammed Ali have been the greatest heavyweight of all time
if he were 5ft 10inches tall? Stupid question, right? Wlad makes the
most of the physical gifts he was born with and uses those blessings;
reach, leverage, height and power to dominate the heavyweight
division today. Just enjoy his performances while he's in his prime.
We'll all miss him when he retires in a few years. Interestingly enough,
I think his haters will miss him the most.

[Nokstar]

yup...he's actually the quickest heavyweight i've seen at his size...i imagine him being even quicker at a smaller frame.

You can't deny how accurate his punching is as a whole.

[Rollo]

What if SRR was as tall as Valouev!:yep

All I can say to this evergreen thread is that size isn't everthing. Check out Big Nicolay Valuev, McBride, Timo Hoffman etc. all are big but they suck so much more!

[boxingcar]

the threadstarter's avatar is showing Golota...kinda ironic..
Golota was pulverised by Brewster..

You really cant say that because if he was 6'1 he'd have a totally different style of fighting then he does now.. He fights as he should fight.. he fights tall. You also have to take into account that since hes so big hes gonna be slower then a smaller man. It's like a give and take and he uses his advantage of height well.

[audio101]

Thats an awful/pointless question, it's like saying would Mayweather be champ if he was 5'1.

agreed, if vladimir was shorter than he would not be vladimir, he would be a different person name ladimir

[brooklyn1550]

What if Joe Louis was blind? Would he be a great champion


Wlad will never be 6-1, so this discussion isnt even necessary

[The Whaler]

If he possessed all his physical qualities but was shrunk to 6'1'' then I don't think he would be heavyweight champion, but he would be a very good Cruiserweight champ.

Would George Bush be President if we used our brains?

He would have won by bigger numbers considering the two men the Democrats nominated: Al Gore and John Kerry. :yep

Good response to my nonsense.:good

What if Foreman was 4'8? Would he have been champ?

If the Queen had balls, she'd be the King.

Yes, his buddies own the voting machines.

[chrisroxthem]

ya rediculous question .... but to answer that question. no. i think wlad lives off of having the big reach on his opponents

this is sort of a silly question because if he would be 6'1 he would be a completely different fighter.

[El Bombasto]

Or if he was 6,1 and weight 100 pounds more...
or if he had only one hand
or wears glasses in the ring
or started smoking between the rounds
or tight his shoelaces to eachother
Or danced the Polka during the fight

:lol:

[Only registered and activated users can see links] wrong....Wlad would not be a heavyweight if he were six foot one so the question itself is the problem. He would probably be a light heavy, and you would have to think that at 6'1 he would be even faster and more mobile than he already is, therefore, formidable at that level.

[Leonidas]

Yes because he'd still have great power, great boxing skill, great hand speed and be really athletic. He probably wouldn't be nearly as dominate though.
