The man is over 7 feet tall. His best asset isn't his speed, strength, agility, or even technique, it is his size. Most heavyweights straight right would be considered a low blow. He's been affected by guys that aren't power punchers. If someone didn't have to throw mike tyson's punch-out style star punches at him just to connect, he would be beat easily. After boxing he will be studied thoroughly and, after much debate, be labeled as the missing link. The frequency of his voice will later be dubbed as the lowest pitch audible to the human ear. He will undoubtedly be remembered as a historically significant figure, but not in boxing.
He Speaks THE MONSTER SPEAKS!!


He Does quite a few things pretty good.
Good punch output.
Good power
Good Chin (so far)
Great reach which he doesnt use very effectively
and he has shown a decent straight (ish) right hand
doesnt get gassed.
and from a entertainment perspective he's not afraid to stand and mix it up inside. If you get inside , he doesnt care!
You can't say "well if you didnt have to this or that against him he'd be no good" cuz...well cuz you do!
It's kinda like saying that if wlad wasnt tall and strong and fast and sharp and technical and conditioned he'd be a sh1tty fighter and anyone could beat him!!

What if.....he gets a 49-0 record?? and maybe beats say....Briggs. to gain a second belt?? A legit Champion??
What then Historical significance then with Don KINK as his promoter? THINK about that!!!
If wlad was shorter say 6'2 he'd still be an alright fighter (this coming from a wlad semi-hater). His jab would still be effective and he'd still have a nasty right. If valuev was 6'2 he'd be absolute crap. Him being considered a super champ for getting a gift decision against ruiz and beating the wbo champ would make him a, you guessed it, joke.
