    A tomato can called Margarito, oh and he needs concrete in his gloves as well to compete for a few seconds then lose against guys intentionally selected for being less than half his size or recently moving up in weight.

    robin reid. maybe 5'9 but his shoulders where wide as hell. even froch a big super-middle was dwarfed.....didnt turn out that way. but still,dude looked like a cruiser at times.

    darren corbett....how could that belly stay under 200lbs

    chris eubank made nigel benn look like a Lightmiddle especially in the 2nd fight.

    paul vaden tall but also very heavily built

    garry deleney, enzo (who is a decent size cruiser) looking at eye level with his opponants. great display of bodyshots placement

    No need for the picture.

    And he looks like a Downer impersonating a T-rex in that picture.

    And he's not 5'10.

    Boxrec lists:

    Valuev as 7', he's actually 6'11.

    Holyfield as 6' 2.5", he's actually 6'1.

    Morrison as 6'2, he's actually 6'1.

    Toney as 5'10, he's actually 5'9.

    Taylor as 6'1, he's actually between 5'11 and 6'.

    Tua as 5'10, he's actually 5'9 tops.

    See the picture forming here?

    On top of that I know 2 people who've met Khan and said he's not 5'10.
