I tend to think that most fighters over 6ft5 find their height as much a problem as they do an advatnage. It must be harder to try and co-ordinate al that extra body mass. A lot of real big guys just look awkward, even the Klitschko brothers. The only guys I can think of who are the exception to this rule are Lewis, McCline and Audley Harrison. thats only 3.

Like you said, even the best Super-heavies can be beaten by smaller guys who know how to box. Its not necesserily that great of an adavantage if you ask me.

"Legendary Dundee impressed with Gomez

Angelo Dundee, the legendary trainer of Muhammad Ali, said he was immediately impressed with new charge Juan Carlos Gomez when he took over tutoring duties for the undefeated heavyweight.

Gomez, 36-0 (31), is a former undefeated WBC cruiserweight champion; faces reigning European Champion Sinan Samil Sam in his biggest and most important fight yet at heavyweight at Buffalo’s HSBC Arena on September 27. Dundee and the former amateur star have been preparing at the South Florida Boxing Gym in Weston, Florida.

“He’s got a fighter’s attitude,” Dundee said of Gomez. “He’s an intelligent kid; the people are going to love him because he’s always got a smile on his puss. He’s an admirer of my kid Muhammad, so there’s a natural camaraderie between us.”

Dundee added the only reason the Cuban defector is not better known in the US is because he has fought almost exclusively in Germany since turning pro. Dundee said: “He’ll beat and awful lot of heavyweights; he’s very smooth, there’s no awkwardness about the guy. He’s ready for anyone.”

Gomez and Turk Samil Sam, 18-0 (11), have a history. Until recently Gomez was promoted by German Klaus-Peter Kohl and trained at Universum’s Hamburg facility alongside Samil Sam. The pair never got along and the ill-feeling intensified when an ex-girlfriend of Gomez’s hooked up with Samil Sam’s best friend.

It should make for quite a fight.

Also on the Night of the Young Heavyweights show Joe Mesi, 26-0 (24), faces against DaVarryl Williamson, 18-1 (16) and Dominic Guinn, 22-0 (17), takes on Duncan Dokiwari, 22-1 (19)."

Damn I'm looking forward to seeing Gomez. He's the dangerman in this divsion and it looks like he's ready to prove himself big style!
