    Samuel Peter. "The bigger man" refers to the one who is larger in size, and that was Peter. Foreman might've been taller, but height is only one aspect of size, the other two being width and length.

    You are quick on the draw my friend, readied at your keyboard to reply. Yes I do see where you’re coming from. Well, she sounded norgood for you. There is a sub Nordic strain - the Mordics - of which I am a proud “member”. The Norwegians come a close second - the Beatles even wrote a song about them.

    My girlfriend used to complain about that song too. She said I could get 'Nor bleedin' wood.'

    An ex girlfriend always thought i was Finnish for some reason but only ever after sex - it was weird. Quite a few times immediately after she would pronounce "what the hell, are you Finnish"?? I could only surmise the fins are great lovers.

    She sounds quite the swede talker. Norway would I let my woman talk to me like that. That's Oslo as a man can go.

    Foreman’s is a few inches taller than Peter and structurally (bone size, clavicle width etc) looks like the bigger man. The weight difference is mostly in Peters belly. They trained differently back in the 70s, more focus on cardiovascular endurance and caloric deprivation to come into a fight as light as possible. Lennox Lewis had an old school minded trainer before Steward and they worked him down to 221lbs.
