George Godfrey beat a unknown fighter in Gogea Mitu who was around 7''4. He must have weighed a fair bit! This content is protected He was huge
Godfrey was 6'3...that picture makes his opponent look more like 9'4, not 7'4. Surely some camera trickery?
Could be, not sure who the smaller guy in the picture is anyway. He could be about 5 foot for all we know
Wikipedia says Gogea Mitu weighed 400 pounds. Gogea Mitu had a back width of 1.05 metres (3.4 ft) and for lunch he used to consume 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) of bread, 25 eggs, 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) of fried chicken, two litres of milk, 1 kilogram (2.2 lb) of sweets, a litre of ţuică and half a litre of wine.[4] His suits were made out of 7.5 metres (25 ft) of fabric and his bed was 3.5 metres (11 ft) long and 2 metres (6.6 ft) wide.

Tommy Loughran whom, some say was frightened to meet blacks. Loughran 5'11 1/2" 187lbs Ray Impellittiere 6'7 1/2" 239lbs x3 Loughran 184lbs Victorio Campolo 6'9 1/2" 232 1/2" Took on Carnera too - 186lbs Carnera 6' 5 3/4" 270lbs He sure picked his spots.
Though their 6-rounder was scored a draw, 5' 1½", 140lbs Joe Walcott apparently toyed with 6'3", 255lbs Fred Russel.
Now, see, this is what I want from the next Fight Night - the ability to make both incredibly tall and incredibly small guys. None of this "no heavyweight below 5'11 or above 6'8" palava. How am I supposed to make a proper Sugar Ray Valuev or even Mr. Mitu here?
