Kind of silly but does anyone know how tall the biological fathers of heavyweight champions were? How tall was the Kitschko brother's father? I am assuming Mike Tyson's father is a similar height to Mike. Ali's father looked 3-4 inches shorter than his son.
Based on the photo of them together, Foreman’s biological father was a very tall man, at least 6’4’’ or so. Dynamite Douglas was listed at 5’10’’. Gypsy John is around 6’3’’ I think. Both Ali and Rahaman seemed to have several inches on Cassius Sr. Joshua’s father is shorter than AJ, but clearly a big man in his own right.
Douglas dad was a middle weight turned light heavyweight so I imagine he was well under 6'4 which was the height of Buster Douglas.
There is another one of Vitali's sons who is also really tall he was looking nearly eye to with Vitali and this was several years ago so he is probably taller now.
Buster Mathis Sr. and Buster Mathis Jr. were roughly the same Height....... And unfortunately same weight too......
