    again you show your crap knowledge again, when did you ever see a guy measured at weigh in, it is usually the manager who gives the measurement and we are talking about Dundee who said Ali was no taller than 6"2 but stood tall. The guys I speak of were trainers and managers and fight people that were at the fights, weigh ins, etc. They all say Ali was about 6"2 and they say Louis was about 6"1.5

    Unless they take a mold which they had on exhibit at Ring magazine on west 31st st. back in the 1970's we are taking the managers word...

    you are the ****** who picked mccall to beat prime foreman, you are the same ****** who picked 94 foreman against 73 george... you are a joke..

    it is the link.. all you can see that "foreman was 6 inches shorter than the 6´6 wladimir" all you can see that foreman was a "midget" next to wladimir...

    evander holyfield is listed at 6´2 1/2 (1,89) at shorter he is 6´2(1,87) and foreman is clearly much taller than him... i doubt that he is 6´3....(1,90), and this clown said that foreman was 6´2... just laughable

    Having small hands means they break sooner when punching.

    It doesn't affect power at all, Naseem Hamed also had baby hands.
    Hamed did have to put a lot of numbing stuff (forgot name) so he could keep punching, otherwise he would be in too much pain.
    Mayweather if I'm right uses the same thing.

    Oscar de la Hoya also had rather small hands though I don't know if he had hand trouble.

    have you even met foreman? I fail to see how this has any kind of relevance on the conversation tho. :good

    the relevance is that i saw foreman , i was not close to him but my friend met foreman, he has a pick with him, and he is like me in size, and george was huge next to him.. i am 6´1... foreman is clealry much bigger than 6´2, and he is 6´4 or pretty close for sure.
