I feel theır heıght and reach gıves them a serıously unfaır advantage over theır opponents and there should be a Superheavyweıght Dıvısıon to fıeld that sıtuatıon.
I am assuming you feel the same about 6'5 lennox lewis and riddick bowe then too? Or how about 6'3 tommy hearns fighting the likes of 5'7 roberto duran! How did paul williams height advantage play out recently against martinez and quintana?
In Ali's times heavyweight started at 176+ lbs which is even lower than the limit of the current FEMALE HEAVYWEIGHT 190+ lbs. The average weight of a HW today is 225lbs. Why now do we need a SHW division? Because two 240lb men dominate?? LOL. If you are over 200lbs you can try your hand in the division that is what makes it exciting. If u think the klitschkos have a size advantage then u obviously never felt the urge to check the records of other famous boxers like Ali or Foreman. Because it's actually them who notoriously outweighed their opponents...want the stats?
Now let me ask you how the klitschkos fellow 6'7" eastern european SHW contemporaries Alexander dimitrenko and Timo hoffman got on then? I'm assuming they have an unfair height and reach advantage? Oh ya they have'nt come remotely close to achieving what the klischkos have!
How come 6'5 240lb ukranian prospect Volodymyr Vyrchys can't replicate what the klitschkos have done?
Let's take two american examples: How about 6'6" SHW corey sanders and derrick jefferson! Oh ya they were shit! See, it has nothing to do with height!
The klitschkos have other attributes that set them apart. There are/were other fighters there size throughout history that aren't close to there level.
