I totally agree with that.Back then they didn't have athletes like Wladimir,a guy that size with tremendous speed and power would be able to beat the majority of fighters at that time.People like to believe every fighter of that era were so much superior to todays heavyweights but that just isn't true.Everything has changed from training to nutrition to the overall size of the fighter.Guys thast fought at that time that were Wladimir's size were not as good of boxers and were not as fast, that is a fact.The only guy Wladimir has had trouble with in terms of punching power is Corrie Sanders and the other two fights it was just a stamina issue.There wern't many huge punchers with excellent chins, they could either really punch and had a questionable chin or were boxers with little power.Wladimir beats boxers who don't posses huge power and a lot that do as well.
