    That's not a very good pic to go off and in his prime his head was similar to most opponents.

    Actually I noticed this myself though that picture is awful…not a LaMotta cinder block but pretty big, doesn’t really mean much though Larry Holmes was famously called “peanut head” I'm positive Baby Arizmendi was wider at the jaw, skull, neck etc and Shavers would’ve killed him with that right hand.

    On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving in 1980, it was bigger than his heart.

    In fact, I think we now have the answer of why he quit vs Ray Leonard in the rematch — Roberto got the big head!

    I would sometimes see Holmes in airports back in the day. He looked like his head was sewn onto a gorilla’s body. It was completely disproportionately small to the size of his body.

    Muhammad Ali also had a massive noggin, apparently other kids in the neighbourhood used to pick on he and his brother about it lol.

    His head may appear bigger because he's slimmed down.
    He looks good , and bright eyed, especially for a man
    that had over a hundred pro fights!!!!

    Good observation. Kinda reminds me of the Head Detective from In Living Color. His head is twice the size of Rolly's
