Re: Wladimir cracks the POUND FOR POUND Ratings
Here is Tyson's height/weight advantage when P4P ranked (1986-1989).
(a couple of inches/pounds either way have been ignored)
Berbick - none
Bonecruser - none
Thomas - none
Tucker - none
Biggs - none
Holmes - none
Tubbs - none
Spinks - none
Bruno - none
Williams - none
That's zero combined height/weight advantage over ANY opponent. In most cases Tyson was giving both height and weight away.
Here are Wlads height/weight advantages since he won the IBF title.
Byrd - 6" shorter, 25lbs lighter
Brock - 5" shorter, 15lbs lighter
Austin - none
Brewster - 5" shorter, 15lbs lighter
Ibragimov - 5" shorter, 20lbs lighter
Thompson - none
Rahman - 5" shorter, none
Chagaev - 5" shorter, 15lbs lighter
Chambers - 6" shorter, 30lbs lighter
So Wlad has fought ONLY three guys where he didn't have a HUGE combined height/weight advantage.
His SIZE is clearly his greatest attribute. Eradicating SIZE is exactly what P4P is meant to do. Fact.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
