Bowe was tall (6'5") but never looked physically strong to me; he had sort of a Larry Holmes-type of body, sort of pudgy and long; not much muscle...
The guy with the bigger muscles doesn't always win the fight. These guys are professional boxers, not strongman competitors or bodybuilders. Primo...
YEs, yes, height fluctuates throughout the day. Right out of bed in the morning, I am right at 5'10". But by mid-afternoon, I am generally 5'9...

The Cooper that fought Holyfield or Moorer or Mercer would have been a tough fight for George. Styles make fights of course, and Cooper's style...
