    Current top 5 slots in Ring rankings for HW's:

    Champ: Fury 6'9
    #1 Wlad 6'6
    #2 Povetkin 6'2
    #3 Wilder 6'7
    #4 Pulev 6'4

    Average them out, and its about 6 feet 5.6 inches. I haven't looked at the old Ring rankings, but I'm thinking unless there was a time when both K brothers were in the top 5 with Valuev (fairly sure that never happened), I'm thinking its got to be the tallest top 5 ever?

    Check boxrec's annual ratings. Top 10 would be better due to some outlier's like Valuev.

    I think Valuev was #4 or #5 when the K brothers were #1 & #2 with Chagaev #3
