    A very sloppy fight but Is this the biggest heavyweight match-up in history?

    According to the announcer 6'7 Gonzalez weighed in at 252 pounds and 6'10 White weighed in at 286 pounds.

    Valuev vs Larry Donald was heavier at 570lbs Total, Holmes vs Butter Bean was 588 total.
    Height wise this is most likely the biggest bout in history.

    In 2019 Dustin Nichols (400) met Antonyo Johnson (380) in a fight with a total weight of 780 lbs!

    "Tallest" fight could be Julius Long at 7'1" vs 6'8" Tye Fields.

    Man, White looked like trash in this fight. He wasn't usually this bad.

    Valuev vs McCline would have to be up there I would think.

    The tallest fight, I have seen on boxrec was Gogea Mitu (7′ 4″) vs. Saverio Grizzo (6′ 7½″).The heaviest fight could be something like Eric Esch (417½ pounds) vs. Joe Siciliano (313½ pounds).
