I saw an interview with Marciano and Patterson just after Floyd's fight with George Chuvalo, and Rocky looked much bigger than Floyd even though the were supposed to be the same height.
It is to hard to tell as most of the heights are just lies, i am between 6-1/6-2 and was taller than holyfield when i met him.
george was big enough to protect jim lampley and larry merchant by covering them up during that legendary riot at the garden
it happened mate. lampley and merchant mentioned it during the struggle. shame the camera's were too focused on all the fights going on around
Often the listed heights of boxers are incorrect. I mean, did anyone see a SIX inch height difference between Vitali and Chisora ? Foreman actually wasn't much taller than Holyfield. Maybe an inch, if that. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7_Ob6ZckpI&feature=related[/ame]
tale of d tapes' exaggeration grew over time , not george . george was never above 6'3.5" , most probably less , 6'2.5" is probably d exact stat while 6'2" was ali's real height .
I think realistically it would look like: Ali: 6'2.5 Norton: 6'2.75 Holmes: 6'3 Foreman: 6'3.5 Even though Ali, Holmes and Foreman were all listed as high as 6'4. :blood Depending on the source, though I think I've listed the most likely of what's been listed.
