    THere are a lot of Giant Heavyweights currently active. Only Valuev (7')Fields (6'9") Julius Long (7'1") and Lance Whittaker (6'8) most fans know about. There is Rick Dyer who is 6'9 but awful. Alexander Kabanov 6'8.5, lots of guys 6'7.5 like Alexander ustinov, Vitali, Timo Hoffman etc.

    all time there have been a few 7'4 guys...John Rankin, Jim Cully and George Mitu.
    I've heard Harry Gunson who boxed in the late 1800's was reported to be 7'2.
    James Oyebola was 6'9.
    I'm probably missing a lot of giants.
