    Again you're projecting your own homo***ual thoughts on a subject that has nothing to do with gay ***.

    This may be the most homophobic brief comment possible absent abusive put downs. After saying that it is so gay, you then felt it necessary to say YOU are not gay? :patsch

    Guys especially love to compare extremes of size, strength, speed...
    If I love to consider animal strengths & size, extinct & current, or admire the biggest Mastiffs...That means I have a hard-on for giant beasts or wanna screw the poo:huhch?

    It is down the rabbit hole.

    I agree. Why don't you guys just come right out and ask already... "Who do you think was packing the most heat?" Lol

    Anyway, if we must...

    Micahel Grant has a very large frame, pretty wide between the shoulders.

    Rpcly? He was not broad even for a HW of his time. Great, very strong for his size, but small for a HW, without a lot of muscle mass or very big bones.
    Duran is a horrible example. At most he was broad for his natural weight, LW. Compared to even an average HW he is tiny in every way.

    The broadest will be someone really large in bone structure, fat & muscle.
    Like Valuev & Butterbean.

    Rocky did have big bones, and his arms were very strong and ripped, watch the Louis fight.

    Rocky had barely over an avergae wrist, almost exactly average, & his anjles were fairly thick, assuming it was not rounde dup. Still not so big for a HW, let alone modern SHW.

    Yes he was strong & ripped, I said so about his strength above, he dieted down to be relatively ripped, & that is not being debated.

    But absolutely none of his proportions were large for a HW, let alone being a candidate for even wide shoulders for a HW, let alone amongst the widest.
    Here is a standard tale of the tape. Sometimes his thalidomide length arms were listed an inch shorter.
