Is David Tua actually 5'10? Any other heavyweights listed as taller than their height?

    no he wasn't. lol. If he was, then Charles, Moore and Walcott were all 5'9. There is no way you can claim there were 5 inches between Moore and the 6'3 Ali.

    Well, I guess in this one respect Rudy was something of a pioneer. I've heard anything from 5 foot 4 to 5 foot 8 1/2.

    Along with his suitcases of dildos, Rudy was known to have a wide-ranging collection of shoe lifts.

    I met him in AC before the Barrett fight. Im 6'0 and he was easily a few inches shorter than me. He looked small in a t shirt and shorts but in the ring he looked enormous lol

    You’re an extremely troubled individual. Should probably seek help.

    In my book, he was always 6'3, 215 pounds of fire and fury.

    he looked like he was under 6 feet. All I know is, you had better not stand in front of him
