    We get a lot of heavyweight fantasy fights in this forum. Several of them boil down to size debates -- so-and-so was just "too big" or "too small" for somebody else. Alas, the tale of the tape isn't always accurate. Nor does it give you a "feel" for what the two fighters would have looked like in the ring.

    It would be a lot easier to judge if we could see them standing next to each other, even if they're not both in their primes.

    So...post 'em if you have 'em.

    There's a video of Marciano and Patterson sitting right next to eachother on youtube on a boxing TV show. Marciano looks very thick compared to Floyd. Anyone have that video?

    Braddock I thought always looked bigger than I thought in these pictures. He was quite tall after all for a former light heavyweight.
