    Urtain was much broader than Marciano and often over 200lbs.

    Not a fighter but Bobby Hull a hockey player was built exactly like Marciano. Look up image of Bobby Hull bailing hay.

    there have been men Marciano's size, Tyson was close but puffed up. There have also been Big men before the size of Vlad. There was only one man with Marciano's DNA so it really does not matter. Vlad and Lewis and Vitali also have there own DNA so they are not the same as a Primo Carnara or Willard just because there size is close.

    I know a lot of people like to believe that the size comparison is the end all but each fighter is different and comparing size is only one small factor

    The late Mr KO, Julian Letterlough, a light heavyweight, is probably the best shout in this thread.

    Advantil Khurtsidze (sp?), the mobbed up comrade who was set to fight for BJ Saunders title before getting nabbed. Both had a similarly agricultural approach in their fighting style too.:devil:
