    That's the tallest it's ever been and it's only 6'4. If you take out K2, it becomes 6'2-6'3. The average does not include the champions. So outside of K2, the top 10 contenders on average is only 6'2-6'3.

    I posted an article in another thread last night that thoroughly and logicly refutes this myth.

    They've sacrificed stamina for strength.

    not the tallest, when SNV was in top 10 it was the tallest, and it still would be the tallest even if the rest of the top ten were 5 foot 5 lol

    Even if the average goes up slightly the skills have still fallen off significantly.

    Are you mad? Just look at top 5: 2 Olympic gold medalists, multiple division champs, undefeated contenders.

    Not really. Size without talent is nothing: ask Michael Grant, Tye Fields, Julius Long, Lance Whitaker, Ray Austin, and many others.

    Lol, why would I be mad, I stated the truth. You're the one sounding upset and unable to counter the truth. Heavyweight skills have fallen off.....care to debate it? :yep
