Rewatching that fight, it is obvious that the ONLY reason the 2 brothers have had any success at all in the sport of boxing is simply due to their extremely long, long arms and their extremely tall, tall height.
That is all. Precisely and concisely.

audley and fury both having 5 inch reaches more than vitali and danny williams having the same reach disproves that!!!
Nope, it just shows how completely useless they really are...
Back on the crack again are we Brockton?
Lamont Brewster - 77" reach
Corrie Sanders - 77" reach
Ross Purity - 80" reach
I think there is more to it than merely their height and reach...You can't just discount the abysmal level of their competition.
So it was reach and reach alone that sliced open Charr's face?Quote:

Wlad has shorter arms than many heavyweights at 26", which is the same as Chris Byrd. Floyd Mayweather has the same arm length as Wlad at 26", he had a huge reach advantage over Hatton who has 21" arms.
Vitali has about the same arm length as Rahman, Thompson and Ali at 29". Lennox has longer arms than Vitali at 30".
Usually black men have longer arms than white men.
Vitali looked to have slowed with age against Charr, although he still knocked Manuel down and dominated 98% of the fight.
Whats amazing is that the guy is a part time only boxer fighting at about 60% and he's still kicking the asses of all the young lions thrown at him. I'm bias though cause I've always liked him more then his kid brother. Imagine Vitali with his brothers boxing skills or Wlad with his chin and resolve.Quote:

We all know the outcome before the fight is even signed.
Wlad used Wilder as a sparring partner for one of his recent bouts, he praised Wilder's handspeed. I hope that fight never happens, but if it does then I'm cheering for Wlad or Vitali.Quote:
